They must have. He was furious when he told me, and it was years later.
Not really accused but when I was in the oil field I heard an ad on the radio for a job to be a weed reviewer in Denver, they would pay you $50k per year to go to the various pot shops, smoke weed and then write review about the quality of the ambiance and weed. The ad stated you had to be able to write and have a valid medical mj card (this was before weed was fully legal). Any how I went into the work the next morning telling them about the world’s coolest job for some reason that afternoon I was called in for a “random” drug test.
More than once after a less than restful night I’ve shown up for an appointment at the VA, eyes reddened by lack of sleep, and been asked if I was on drugs. So far the honest answer has been no. But with more and more states legalizing marijuana…
I saw this documentary clip on CNN or somewhere, I have no idea what’s going on, about how that works.
Had a band teacher who figured out several band members were on acid. He just fucked with them. It was probably more entertaining if you weren’t one of them.
I got pulled over after my bartending shift in which a keg basically exploded all over me, so I reeked of beer. Breathalyzer cleared me.
When my dad developed severe hypothyroidism most of his family assumed it was from drug use. His boss thought the same and he was fired. It took him several months (maybe over a year, I can’t remember too well) before he received the correct diagnosis. The doctor who figured it out prescribed Synthroid and told my dad to start it immediately. I think he was back to normal in under a week. He was bitter about it for some time but I suppose he realized there was no point hanging on to those feelings.
One time I lost my temper with a bad employee and got pretty loud. HR sent me down for a drug test which I passed.
No, but after my first nervous breakdown, my former boss would jokingly accuse me of being off my meds seemingly every time I made an offbeat joke. He made plenty of “going postal” jokes, too, even years after I last saw him. I had to block him eventually. It was getting hurtful.
Falsely?
At the end of a semester, a student came up and asked, in all seriousness, if I was using drugs to keep my energy level so high all term long. Ah, no, I’m just high on history and left wing political theory….
Once a few years ago, a co-worker was worried because she thought I wasn’t baked which meant something was very wrong.
I was baked, but my “client” was worse than most and I snapped.
The main reason I always worked government jobs was the lack of pee tests for the admin support folks.
Back when I was a teen, my room was the attic. One day I grabbed some KFC on the way home and went straight up to my room with it.
Mom, who got a whiff of it as I passed, came up the stairs a few minutes later: “Are you smoking that shit? I can smell it!”
mmm
I guess somebody might accuse someone of being on dope when she was actually on acid.
