Funny things you can do during a drug test....

BaggedLancer

....without failing it or being disqualified?

So I have to take a drug test at 3:45 today and was wondering if anyone has done any funny things before taking theirs?

Personally I think the urine tests are ridiculous, and they should all be hair folicle tests(like my last one), so I figure might as well make it interesting since I'm going to be ingesting a pot of coffee before I go in.

I already took extra multivitamins today so that should make it "glow" so to speak, anyone else have any suggestions? I thought about asking the nurse on duty after she hands me the cup where the dirty magazines are......

When I was in a facility that required drug testing I filled the cup with apple juice. I went up to the nurse, and said here is that urine test you asked for. She said she didn't ask for a urine test, so I drank it. She looked sick:D

I thought about that, but we have no asparagus and the smell makes even myself nauseous

Yeah, why all the tests? Why don't you just go ahead and confess?

Make sure you don't eat bagels with poppy seeds, or you'll not pass.

Not a joke.

I get tested for work

Yes I know, and I don't eat bagels so I'm OK.

Hey, if they're not gonna use it, put it back and save it for later, right?

I wouldn't call that 1984. I'm glad they do drug tests for certain jobs, especially government job.

As far as Walmart testing BaggedLancer, that's a little over the edge.

The problem with these tests is that they cant test for whether or not someone is on drugs at the job. Most of these tests are looking for pot since it is fat soluble and stays in the body for much longer than other illegal substances. It's noones business what folks do in their own home. This is an invasion of privacy pure in simple until they come up with more time sensitive tests.

The devastation that a "false positive" can cause for an individual is nothing to joke about. I wouldn't be looking for any funny things to do before or during any activity like no ****, career on the line, drug testing.

bobman1235

It's an invasion of privacy but at the moment it's voluntary - as in the government isn't forcing you to do it to gte ANY job, it's just a qualification for employment at a SPECIFIC job. While I don't agree with it in principle - it assumes that everyone who does drugs has something wrong with them or can't perform a task or will be high on the job, which is blatantly untrue - I agree with an employer's right to set standards for his employees.

There's no law requiring any private employer to do drug testing. If you don't like your current employer, go find another one. Big brother? Nah, big whiner is more like it.

bruss

drink a big rockstar a couple hours before.

pmckeealaska

I'm not whining about anything. I have a good job and have worked hard to get it. I dont do drugs, but that is irrelevant to my point. Until they can make tests that can tell if a person is using on the job, the whole concept is BS. What someone does in the privacy of their own home should be irrelevant. And yes, I realize the reality of the situation, but that doesnt make it right. 200 years ago slavery was perfectly acceptable, but that didnt make it morally just. Same deal here, just not as extreme.

PhantomOG

Big brother means big government. However, the only remedy to your complaint is actually more government interference -- namely, laws prohibiting private employers from using drug tests.

If I want to hire someone to cut people's hair, you can be damn sure that I want the right to drug test that person, considering the fact that if he comes into work one day all drugged up and cuts off someone's ear, I'm the one who'll be paying millions of dollars in damages. If my employee doesn't like it, he can work for someone else.

Complaining about the lack of a time sensitive drug test is one thing. Whining "big brother" is a completely different thing. Morals? That's funny. If I enter into a private agreement to pay someone for work as long as they are drug free, I'm the one with messed up morals? Please...

Wow, there's a warped view of the world.

The same could be said of someone who drinks - if they come into work drunk one day they'll slice of someone's ear, I don't see any companies prohibiting drinking during personal time.

Way to buy into the "anyone who does drugs is an out-of-control addict" mentality.

PhantomOG

Drug tests aren't in place to prevent people from doing drugs on their personal time. They are in place to prevent employees being in the workplace with the SIDE EFFECTS from using those drugs.

Do you honestly think if you came into work drunk everyday you wouldn't get fired? You're not drinking "on the job" so it's ok since you drink during your personal time right?

pmckeealaska

All excellent points Phantom. Of course you have a right to have drug free employees, but in my opinion that should only apply to while they are on the job. Just because someone smokes a joint on the weekend doesnt mean they are drugged up while on the job. Thats my only point. Clearly employers can do whatever they want and ask whatever they want of their employees. I'm not challenging that. It's just that there is no way to test for on the job drug use and until and unless that day comes, the whole concept is flawed in my opinion.

Go #2 in the cup versus #1 if they don't specifically state "urinate in the cup".

bobman1235

I completely agree - but you can just as easily tell if someone's high as if they're drunk when they come to work. All drug testing is doing is testing if you ever do something, not if you're irresponsibly going to do it at work.

(I still support an employer's right to test for drugs, by the way, I just would never work for an employer who does. And no I am not a drug user.)

PhantomOG

There are tons of jobs out there that require ALOT more than just being drug free on your personal time. People are prohibited from doing plenty of LEGAL things where special circumstances in the workplace make it necessary or financially safer. If its ok for a professional football player to sign a contract saying he won't ride motorcycles why is it so outrageous for someone else to sign a contract saying he won't do drugs?

I do understand your point, but I just don't see the gravity of it. I think its pretty safe to say that MOST employers don't drug test just because of the added cost. Where's the fire?

BaggedLancer

wth happened my thread.....

As for drug testing...I don't care...I don't do drugs, so no big deal to me. What confuses me is first time around they had me do a hair folicle test which goes wayyyyyy back and tests for everything, now a urine test? I would have though the next step would be to drain my blood and test that.

jflail....I thought about doing #2 in the cup, and with the way my stomach has been lately it would be just about the right consistancy.

Which says what exactly -- that the test is not as precise as we would like, or that our government is flawed? That's my point.

Sorry for the derail

BaggedLancer

haha no worries for the derail I was just trying to have some fun. Pee tests are a waste of employers money, there are so many products that can get stuff outta your pee it makes no difference anymore. Not to mention sometimes getting away with using someone elses urine.

Hair and blood is the way to go, it's attached to you, and you only, there is no way to play around with it.
