2) You apply for a promotion to a job that requires you to meet people face-to-face

3) You application for the promotion is turned down because, well, you are unable to perform the required functions of the job you applied for.

4) You file a lawsuit claiming discrimmination because you were turned down for a job you are psychologically unfit to perform

5) You win $6.5 million in damages, and get your legal fees thrown in as well.
