Drugs and Work: Suspicion

Suspicion

By vaylosa - 22/02/2015 20:36

Today, I decided to go all-natural and go to work without any makeup on. My boss swore I was on drugs, which I guess had absolutely nothing to do with the completely "random" drug test I had to take later in the day. FML

Today, I went into work for the first time without make-up. My boss thought I looked so tired and ill that he sent me home. FML

Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML

Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML

Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML

Today, I found out why I receive random drug tests at work. The safety department was specifically told by my boss to check up on me because I always seem way too cheerful to not be high. I've passed every single test. FML

Today, my boss called me out for a drug test. His reason was because my eyes are puffy and bloodshot, making me look high. I've been suffering from allergies all week, but still had to pee in a cup in front of a complete stranger. FML

Just Say Yes

By bringthemback - 29/03/2014 10:34 - United States - Columbia

Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML

Today, I asked my manager if wearing makeup was a requirement for the job. She told me, "Not if you're naturally pretty... So for you, yes". FML

Never trust a cookie

By Anonymous - 06/01/2022 14:01

Today, I'm a proud non drug user, but I trusted an oat cookie at my brother's birthday, which was loaded with pot. Tomorrow is our mandatory drug screening at work, my job is government based, and I worked my ass off to get it. Anyone who tests positive or misses the test is sacked immediately. FML

Happens to the best of us, OP. Whenever I go to school without makeup it seems everybody asks if I'm feeling ok when I'm absolutely fine.

If you feel ok not wearing makeup that's fine, maybe they're not used to it; happens to everyone who wears makeup and suddenly decides to go natural.

that sucks op :( Just know that you don't have to wear makeup if you don't want to, it's no one's choice but your own!

Unfortunately, there isn't always enough natural glow to go around. I've had my dads friend nag me about taking better care of myself so I don't get sick all the time, I wasn't sick, I just had no make up on

Vitamins and antioxidants help, so does water. I started using the YesTo (insert produce name) line and I've noticed a difference. Try keeping the makeup off more often so your skin can breathe. I'm not saying to give it up completely, but some days just wash your face with a cleanser/exfoliator and water as warm as you can handle, then rinse with cold water. After that just pat dry and apply a non-scented moisturizer and do nothing else to your face.

I guess make-up makes you look more healthy or something? I've heard of many similar stories.

I don't know op people just get used to you a certain way. I would consider myself a functioning stoner, and no one ever notices. The only time I have ever been asked if I'm high was when I truly wasn't, strange.

The only time I have been asked of I was high was before I started smoking.

Maybe it was just because you looked different, so your boss knew something was off but couldn't twig why! If you want to go make-up free don't let it discourage you, personally I've found since ditching the makeup I'm more confident and accepting of myself!
