BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! so far.

client posted:

a friend of mine is a stevedore and had to get tested for some reason when a crane hit his truck. he passed by smuggling in clean piss that his dad (also a stevedore) got him.

A lot of companies do drug tests on anyone involved in any kind of workplace incident, because if nothing else it's an easy out for them to dodge any kind of workman's comp if you happen to fail.

I mean, most people would prefer not to have to work for a living at all and get paid simply to be the fantastic superstars that are themselves, but sadly that's not how the real world works. Making the best of one of several lovely choices is the life a lot of folks live.

For my work we have an annual drug screen, and for some reason two years ago the room they had us use didn't have an actual toilet, so I filled the sample cup 100% to the tippy top, then pissed the rest into a different non sample cup that was in the room. I said "Sorry, man!" And the lady working there looked so sad, but just kinda said "it happens :("

They only needed one sample cup. I would have finished pissing on the wall and then floor. I mean I wouldn't feel inclined filling another sample. If they want my extra piss they can drink it off the floor.

Usually the place has a urinal or a toilet for excess, this place didn't. I don't know if they thought I could just tie it off midstream or what, but I'm sure mine was the only extra cup of pee that sample lady had to deal with that day.

My last job required a drug test. The problem was that I worked from 10pm to 7am and they sent out notifications to go in for drug testing at 10am and required that they were done by the end of the business day. It required careful explaining to HR that you could not do surprise drug testing on someone who wasn't on site when they sent out notifications.

IT IS MY RIGHT TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN I'VE PUT BACK SIX SHIRLEY TEMPLES OK

:patriot:
Last time I was drug tested, I was working for local government and for admission to nursing school. I can understand getting drug tested before being a 911 operator and before going to do clinical hours in hospitals where you will be passing meds. I still think that drug testing is fundamentally unlawful search and seizure, and is a tool of systematic control by the powers that be.

I tested positive for hydrocodone, oxymorphone and diazepam(Valium) on a test for workman’s comp.

Of course they didn’t bother asking what medications I was on.

So when they called to let me know, I could hear their delight deflate as I read off my prescription info. Pricks.

On the plus side, I was openly high as gently caress at work for months. And my coworkers liked that they could explain why I was always in a great mood all the time.

see I disagree with this
not doing anything is as soul destroying as having a bad job. I think most people, or maybe just me, would like to do useful work that they enjoy and not ablate their identities in terrible hell work.

If you're in a situation where you're straight up facing homelessness as an alternative then sure piss in the cup but that's not what we're talking about here.

Those cleansing drinks are just creatine monohydrate, vitamin b complex, and loving koolaid. Go to a goddamn GNC and buy a lifetime supply of creatine and vitamin b for drug tests for $20. It beat military drug tests for me over a decade ago, multiple times.

Dilution is the solution to the pollution.

I had a similar story earlier this year, OP. I took a poo poo ton of vitamins the day and night before, and the morning of. Ended up drinking 3L of water that morning before the test. Woke up, slammed something like a litre. Over the next two hours I drank a litre and a half more and pissing a bunch. Once my piss was almost clear I tapered the water intake. On the way to the test I slammed a neon yellow powerade. I had to piss really, really bad right after, like so much so I wasn't going to make it through the test without pissing my pants. Stopped at a McDonalds, had the best piss of my life and drank a bit more water to make up for the lost piss.

Worked like a charm. My piss was yellow enough to not look suspect in the testing cup and it also turned the blue toilet water green.

I'm looking for another job to gently caress over my work's upper management and to quickly pay out my large hoard of vacation time that i never get to use. In this case, the indignity of having to piss in a cup like a child is dwarfed by my desire to spite my current employer as much as possible.

Also the new place is closer to my apartment and has full cubicles and free coffee.

At my last job my vacation time was pretty much maxed out and for like six months I couldn't accrue more time so I had to take "sick" days if I ever wanted to see any of it. They never let me take time off because I was "too vital" but when their IPO failed to draw any investors my whole team got laid off and I never saw any money for the time I had banked.

I had to keep calling their HR department to even get my final paycheck sent to me. :arghfist::smith:


So yeah, take a vacation and look for a new job at the same time.

I don't have any drug screening stories because I live in the UK, and it's AFAIK completely unheard of here, and nobody would accept it because we're a low-key nation of cokeheads.

Military too. We called them Cockgazers.

Every military drug test will have a cockgazer. Sometimes it's just you and the gazer, sometimes the gazer has a communal bathroom full of people to watch at once.

It is. I had a P.O. in Indiana that would literally stare at my dick while I peed. Not from far away, either. This restroom was the size of a bathroom stall so he’d literally be 2 feet from me. I did it one time and said gently caress it and moved back to Ohio.

Just left the probe office. My first test was the 11th and a total surprise. My test on the 20th my thc was barely down, and ive been drinking water, vitamins, running, and eating good.

I have poo poo kidneys though, could that be helping keep the weed levels high? Not using weed isn't having a very big effect, its got me a bit worried.

Come at me scrub-lord I'm ripped!
One of the courier jobs I used to work drug tested but said that we could test positive for weed because we were in Colorado and it was technically legal

I take the test in the testing department calls me back and tells me that I tested positive for weed expecting me to somehow be surprised but I just said yeah that sounds about right and it seems like they were disappointed I wasn't devastated

I guess they don't know what the companies do with the results so they were probably confused as to why I didn't seem to give a poo poo but there you go
