Why would you take a drug test if you know you're going to fail?

Maybe it was mandatory. A few jobs require their employees to get them, and some parolees have to as well.

The company I work for has a lottery for random drug tests. Every employee has a chance at being sent out for a test, and you MUST go the day you get the notification you've been chosen. They even send you a "CONGRATULATIONS! You've been selected for a drug test!" email.

I understand that, but if you're selected and you know you're going to fail, why even waste the time to take it? If you've done drugs, own up and just tell them you won't pass. As someone else said, negative results won't just magically appear.

They are required so I'm assuming you would be fired for refusing the test

Why take a drug test when you're so high you can't piss properly!

even when you honest they still need to test you

Also I've heard of people on parole getting mandatory drug tests.

I'm kinda thinking why do drugs to begin with

False positives are WAY too common. It's possible that the OP wasn't high. Unlikely, but possible.

He didn't say he was going to fail, just that he missed the sample cup.

You should be pissed at yourself like you pissed on yourself. I don't understand why people go into drug tests expecting for negative results to magically appear. Do the deed, accept the consequences.

I've passed mine when I should not have soooo they're really not that accurate unless you pay for the really expensive ones.

#18 false. Even the cheap ones are fairly accurate.

No actually! Cheap field test drug tests can be extremely inaccurate. There's many factors in play like temperature, humidity, light, etc., that aren't carefully regulated in the field; and many cheap tests don't tell you the exact drug in your system. Many get false positive results because of this (Search "field drug test false positive" for articles about it). The immediate results OP seems to have gotten indicate it was a test like this, and not a formal lab result. Lab testing generally takes 3 days, and comes back with a complete list of anything found in the test sample. Lab tests are highly regulated and, as a result, produce FAR more accurate measurements than any test you can buy at a store.

You've obviously never been drug tested

Seriously, the cheap ones can be inaccurate, I have a friend who once failed for cocaine but she'd never done cocaine before, but she had a prescription for adderall which is amphetamine, which she did not fail for. When we looked it up online it turned out that it was very common to fail for cocaine while adderall, they're only a few molecules different.

It appears as if you went in there drunk if you missed the cup and got urine all over yourself...

The idea of a drug test is to ensure you don't have any drugs in your system, not to see how many drugs you can cram into your system at once. YDI.

Drugs are bad, mmkay?

Yo hate me if you want but everyone who says ydi based on the fact that drugs are bad mmkay can fuck themselves for their prejudice

Have you not seen South Park, #40?

#40 Unless you're talking weed, I really can't understand why you think addiction should be embraced.

Why the hell are the only two options here "i agree you life sucks" and "that could've happened to me"? You suck, you deserve it, and that definitely would never happen to me

Ditto and agreed.

They probably didn't even have to look at the results to know you would fail it.

Often, people know ahead of time that they will need to take a drug test. Even if it's randomly selected for their job or whatever, they still know beforehand that drug tests are given out, so the possibility of getting one is always there. Don't do drugs, especially if there's even a chance that you'll have to take a drug test, YDI.

It couldn't have happened to me. I tried to click "you deserve it."

Ah yes, the elusive YDI-icorn. If you manage to catch it will you be able to control is magical powers? Or will it just escape again and again, driving you mad in your futile quest for the proper button?

At least it didn't overfill causing you to instinctively drink it to keep it from spilling.

I remember that FML, but it had nothing to do with drugs...
