89. I also once got around a test by using someone else's urine.

Nov 2021

Hidden in a plastic travel sizes shampoo bottle. I dressed up in a suit and tie for the test and as my research indicated they were more likely to take me less seriously than someone who came in in Birkenstock’s and a Phish t-shirt. Sure enough they let me in the bathroom by myself, and I switched it.

I should point out that none of these jobs were in any way dealing with the public or involved operating heavy machinery. It was an office job. And the testing was the kind of harassment testing employers get talked into by their liability insurance providers.
