Okay to start, I just want to clarify I’m not a pervert.
I’ve been in the Army for 8 years and have routinely participated in random drug screenings, both as a participant and “observer”. An observer is someone that makes sure the person testing isn’t doing anything weird or that can compromise their specimen. You have to “see the specimen leaving the body” of the participant (no one ever gets that close you pretty much just watch them).
Well I’m getting out of the military. Today I had my first non-military pre employment drug screening. I went into my normal routine. Got the cup, opened the door, listened to her instructions. Proceeded to unzip and I hear a “Uhh sir can you can close the door please?”
Oh shit! I didn’t know that was allowed. I thought it was weird I had a female observer.
Super awkward hand off.
TLDR: I don’t need to use the bathroom with the door open anymore.

I could see myself making this mistake
Lol, welcome to civilian life. There are perks – peeing without being watched being one, lol.
Pervert.

You were almost a no go at this station, soldier.
I had a worse problem at an airport. Had to take my belt off to go through the metal detector. They decided to scan me with their Xray machine. Said I should put my hands above my head. I said that if I did my trousers would fall down. “Yeah sure!”. Guess what happened..
OMG I have heard this so many times when we’d get new hires coming out of the military. It got to the point (my old group used to hire quite a few airforce) that, if they were getting hired, I’d make sure the TA person knew to tell them this.
Unless my boss (retired) wanted to get them good…
Did piss test with a marine observer. Army guys would just check their phones while watching you but the marines take joy in malicious compliance. Dude was straight straddling the toilet bowl while I went…
Haha, been there myself
