(18,219 posts)There are a lot of Whizzinators where I work.
But since I have never seen someone use one, I don't know if this guy was a dumb ass for using it wrong and getting caught, or if it is obvious if the test giver is looking close enough. ?????

The requirements are that the monitors "observe," and also ensure that the wee is warm to the touch when they take the jar and place the labels on it before it is sent for testing. There's a whole chain of custody requirement, too, so that a nefarious person can't adulterate the goods!
Back when they first started up that program, I was part of a wardroom that tested positive for opioids in what was termed a "unit sweep" (everyone gets tested)...yes, the entire wardroom, from the Commanding Officer to the newest ensign, tested positive. At least fifty of us! Turned out we'd all enjoyed the hot, buttery poppy seed buns that were provided at a mandatory dinner, and in the early days of the test, it wasn't too accurate. The poppy seeds did it!
