A man showed up for a job interview near Sacramento naked and high on methamphetamine, and now cellphone footage of his fight with police has gone viral.

Jose Ayala didn't make the best first impression at a Del Paso Heights-area welding shop when he showed up last week frazzled and unclothed, says shop owner Chris Johnson, who added he won't soon forget the job applicant.

“The producer from TruTV called me [Monday afternoon]. I can’t even get any work done now. I’m taking calls from camera crews and TV stations,” Johnson told FOX40 in Sacramento.

Ayala was eventually subdued by police officers and bystanders, but it wasn’t easy, as the video shows

So did he get the job??

[lexington minuteman 1775]

It’s Sacratomato...he probably got the job...
Freegards
Lex

[Spok]

He better have, or he’ll sue under the ADA.

[Ramius]

Welding shop? Naked?

That and frying bacon... two things not to do naked.

[Joe 6-pack]

Well, it’s not like he tried to hide anything from the prospective employer...

[Telepathic Intruder]

I tend to reflect on unsuccessful interviews and try to find out my mistakes and learn from them. That shouldn’t be too hard in this case.

[Tax-chick]

Now he can collect disability compensation until he’s old enough to “retire” from it.

[IMR 4350]

I once had a guy take his pants off on the job and he was running around in a pair of his sisters lime green stretch shorts.

Lime green stretch shorts and steel toed boots makes for a real fashion statement.

Was it for arc welding or oxy-acetylene welding? Meth is fine for arc welding, but the oxy in oxy-acetylene shows that it goes better with synthetic opioids like oxycodone.

[WayneS]

Thank you very much sir. We’ll keep your application on file, and if we ever have a job opening which requires a naked meth addict we’ll call you, m’kay?

[EggsAckley]

Uh oh..........guy is HIV positive.

[SoFloFreeper]

He got the job as the host of a new show on PMSNBC.

[oust the louse]

So did he get the job??

No I heard he hung around longer than he should have trying to get the job and exposed himself to be a real big weenie.

[palmer]

I would add lumberjack to the list.

[cripplecreek]

On an application under job history I listed “Trustee at the Jackson County Jail”.

18 months later I was a foreman in the paint department.

[calex59]

Del Paso Heights, the Sacramento Ghetto and all around good place to stay out of, especially at night.

[Huntress]

Ping!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Welder? He wanted to be a naked welder? Normally those guys wear leather aprons and other types of protection. It’s not like he was applying to work on the phone bank. LOL

[ßuddaßudd]

I have this same scenario scripted in my autobiograghy. . .

[therightliveswithus]

I was going to write the same thing!

[Argus]

I hope he sent his resume to Obama first.

[jim_trent]

OR, casting lead bullets.

[RichInOC]

Beware the naked welder who says he’s ready to go to work.

[Amberdawn]

And an illegal immigrant...go figure.

[blueunicorn6]

At least he was on time for the interview. Many of the naked meth-heads that I’ve interviewed can’t make it to the interview on time.

“I’m naked.....I don’t have a watch.”

“Well, use your manhood for a sundial for crying out loud.”

“I tried that, but I was always off by an hour.”

[advertising guy]

I’m naked......I don’t have a watch.”

” Well, use your manhood for a sundial for crying out loud”

” I tried that,but I was always off by an hour.”

... gentile ?

lmao

[Titan Magroyne]

I dunno... I mean, if he can’t smell his own flesh burning, what do I care?

Lettim retire at the age of nub.

[Larry Lucido]

So did he get the job??

Yes. I start Monday.

[org.whodat]

Type of person you should hire, he was so glade to go to work he forgot to dress.

[Eaker]

So, Eric Holder really did resign?

[Eaker]

Yes. I start Monday.

Last I heard Squantos was pulling for you!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

A basic question remains: Is there a movie that could be made of this event?

[Squantos]

Ya’ll just ain’t right......:o)

Stay safe and lemme know if ya need a reference !

[blueunicorn6]

Well......I guess......he wasn’t loud or anything......yeah.....I guess you could say he was gentle.

[advertising guy]

I wanted to say caucasian but worried about the spellin.....lmao

[Larry Lucido]

Beware the naked welder who says he’s ready to go to work.

I knew someone like that. His name was Holden McGroyne.

[Iron Munro]

So did he get the job??

He's in the White House right now.

Man shows up for job interview naked, high on meth

And demanding that the company provide him free condoms?

[Slings and Arrows]

"That's funny, you don't look Jewish."

[verga]

I once had a guy take his pants off on the job and he was running around in a pair of his sisters lime green stretch shorts. Lime green stretch shorts and steel toed boots makes for a real fashion statement.

Sure yeah on the job, but not for the interview.

[verga]

I would add lumberjack to the list.

as well as bee keeper

[dfwgator]

Now that’s what I call, “Thinking outside the box.”

[Outlaw Woman]

“That’s funny, you don’t look Jewish.”

ewwwwwwwww :P

[Future Snake Eater]

It’s a bold move. Applicants try to make an impression on a prospective employer, and try to get them to remember you over the other applicants. I’d say he succeeded admirably!

[Revolting cat!]

Wait just a minute, isn’t that the proper uniform for that trade?

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re a great crowd! I’m here all week! Try the veal!

[metmom]

Ya know, the LEO haters should just try doing that job once in a while. It might give them a slight appreciation fow what they put up with.

It’s really too bad that there had to be a female officer trying to subdue the guy.

In my book, taze him.

[Colonel_Flagg]

A man showed up for a job interview near Sacramento naked and high on methamphetamine

And he still got elected President of the United States.

[Lady Jag]

I heard he thought he was trying out for an organ recital.

[Slings and Arrows]

So he was playing the skin flute?
