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.
