Supervised urine sample

Never had it done to me, but would be hard.

I go pee shy at urinals, if Im peeing already and somebody comes and stands next to me I can carry on. But If I go to a urinal next to somebody I find it hard to pee,

So doubt would manage

I think it’s always difficult to go on demand or if instructed .

For 20 years we had "surprise" urinalysis tests in the Army. At some point I was sent to the class to become a unit supervisor of these tests. While it was always a m2m or f2f type supervision I did have a couple times where either myself or a female had to observe the opposite sex during these pop piss tests. Normally it was for a team member to be able to supervise.

We had random testing where I worked, always had an eye on us as we gave a sample. I guess there were too many cheaters. I didn't like it, but I was not a drug user or drunk.

I've had pre-employment urine checks where I was allowed to give the sample by myself, but the temperature of the sample was immediately taken by the Tech. and I wasn't allowed to have any head gear on me.

This is common. As an employer I require a drug test before hiring and we send them down to a company that does it for us. They have caught several people with cold samples. They have someone pee in a container then stick it down their pants. The sample is a few degrees too cold, giving them away. I seem to remember guys submitting samples from a female as well. I'm not 100% sure about this though.

I have also heard stories from a female that was on probation and her officer was male. She would have to go into his office and drop trau while he watched her pee into a cup. Talk about embarrassing.

As,an adult, once when I was called for a random drugs and alcohol test at work and had to give a sample in front of the nurse while she watched to make sure I wasn't cheating.

As a kid, in my school physicals we peed in a bottle in front of the doctor and as it was a station to station style exam the lads behind got to see you get your tackle out to do so as I got to see the ones in front do it while I was waiting.

My preemployment urine test was done by a contractor. There was a bathroom with no door on it so the technician could observe. When I turned around with the sample she was across the room on her computer. Don’t know if watched or not or if she checked the temperature. We also had periodic polys and drug usage was always a topic so if you managed to cheat on the urine test you most likely would get caught downstream.

Now that recreational marijuana is legal in many places, how is that affecting the use of drug tests?

Are legal recreational drugs grounds for being fired? Residuals of drugs can be seen in urine for days to weeks after they have been consumed.

In WA, drug testing is still allowed, and employers may use the results as a basis for termination. From the FAQ on the state web site (https://lcb.wa.gov/mj2015/faqs_i-502):

Can I still be drug tested now that marijuana is legal

The law does not address the topic of drug testing but it is our understanding that employers may still conduct drug testing at their discretion. Since marijuana is illegal under federal law institutions that receive federal funds will still be subject to mandated testing. Organizations such as the NFL and NBA have issued statements that marijuana consumption is a violation of their conduct policy and they intend to continue testing for it.

Drugs- including marijuana- are still illegal at the federal level. Many jobs with the federal government or contractors to the federal government don’t allow use of marijuana. You sign a non disclosure as part of your job acceptance

I play on adult amateur club sport teams and even though it is recreational, it is very competitive and we can be subjected to random drug tests. These are conducted by a supervisor. You have to go into the bathroom area with the supervisor, take off your shirt and lower your shorts/underwear just enough so the supervisor can see. The supervisor does not watch you urinate directly but stands behind a good distance while you do. You're also entitled to have someone of your choosing observe to make sure the supervisor is properly doing his job. This is usually not necessary.

The drug testing is random and does not occur very often. I play on several different teams during a year and I've gone seasons without being tested. My buddy plays on the same teams I do and he hasn't been tested ever and we've been doing this about five or six years now.

I've had it previously with job physicals. They stand there in the same room while you pee in the cup but dont necessarily watch you directly.

@DJohn1008 : thats very interesting. What type of sport?

I work with a woman who is a local probation officer. She has to supervise urine samples quite often. She has seen it all she says, from people using fake penis like things with tubes and bags attached etc...

My experience involved a sample for medical reasons not drug screening. I spent a lot of time in psychiatric hospitals when I was younger and I was often physically ill (due to not sleeping and eating) when admitted. There was usually someone watching me use the bathroom. It was incredibly embarrassing but they didn’t look directly at me and my clothes were baggy enough that I could mostly keep myself covered, plus I was on a lot of medication that kept me from feeling too bad. But one time there was a standing order for a urinalysis first thing in the morning for about four days (I don’t remember why) and every time a nurse stood right next to me, unwrapped and handed me disinfectant wipes, and made sure I cleaned myself thoroughly before going. One nurse even pulled my sweatshirt out of the way so she could see what I was doing. Everyone was professional about it and I know now the supervising was because I was really out of it and couldn’t always follow instructions. It was still humiliating. At least the sample was collected in one of those plastic containers that fit onto the toilet rather than a specimen cup.

If we get a drug test back with a marijuana (THC) positive we terminate. We have people operating very large dangerous equipment and we don't want someone killed.

Recently I've thought it might be helpful, with my old shrunken penis and that cup like thing they want me to pee in. I can't see how full it is so I usually end up with wet fingers being the only way to tell when it's time to squeeze it off and redirect it to the toilet. With my luck I'd probably get a man to assist me so I'd end up with it refusing to squirt.

Perhaps a mirror placed at the proper level would solve the problem.

I end up with wet fingers and after putting the top back on the cup, attempting to wipe it dry before putting it inside the door.

@DJohn1008 : thats very interesting. What type of sport?

It's a bunch of sports depending on the time of year. I play basketball, dodge ball, Ultimate frisbee, water polo, curling.

Yes at draft physical examination in a military medical center at 18 age and the two next years since I was summoned three times, having been postponed the first time for medical reasons in the second half of the 60 's in France when there was a mandatory military service.

After being instructed to undress completely, we were gathered by group of twenty young men to begin a long medical process with a lot of stations, we marched in group in long corridors supervised by non commissioners officers before stopping along the wall and lining up" nuts to butts "at each station.

in one station, we had to pee in a cup with urinal walls by group of eight in line with two male nurses on each side who watched at us peeing to be sure that no one tried to ask to his neighbourg to peee in his cup and behind us thre was a non commissioner officer who had a perfect view on a line of eight naked butts and yelled after us to go faster... .

It was the same at the first physical examination after arrival in the barracks as an inductee. We were also supervised.

I have never had to provide a supervised urine sample

5-6 years ago I had to be drug tested for new employment. I was allowed to go into the bathroom myself where the sink handles were removed, the toilet was taped shut and I was told if I had to pee more than the cup to hold it and use another bathroom around the corner after I left the urine sample. If it was a supervised sample I'd probably get nervous and be pee shy.

I had to do this for a sports team which I wanted to be a part of. It was very hard to pee when there is someone watching you but I also found it a but erotic at the same time.

I have had to do it twice. It is pretty standard working in the health field. One job did a urine test after initial interview well the day of actually. And then a blood test after 2nd interview during full physical at employee health. The key is to relax and drink plenty of water.

I agree, the bladder is uncooperative and I think the moment the sample is demanded everything would clam up, so to speak.

I've always been let alone to the restroom too, and even the pre-employment drug screens I've taken have been with the tech outside the door, listening so you can't flush and taking the temperature of the pee afterwards so they know it was just voided. I'd really like to try this in a play exam though. I'd like the doc to hold the specimen cup and watch everything.

My cousin can't pee in front of anyone to this day. He has trouble in public urinals. I used to have a shy bladder myself but worked my way out of it. Now I can pee anywhere.

When I get drug tested for work we have to empty all pockets and then leave the door open a crack and they watch us pee. See I have no shame at all when I need to pee I can pee no shy bladder

My wife had a Cystometry test that measures contractile force of the bladder when voiding. Some call it a Cystometrogram - but that is really the computerized product of the test. She was in a gyn chair with the tech sitting on a stool between her legs. They put a probe in her vagina to record muscle contraction (for men they put it in your rectum) and a cath with a measurement probe into her bladder. They filled her bladder with 500 ml of saline solution (until full) and then have her urinate while recording muscle contractions. Everything is recorded on a computer and the resulting product is a Cystometrogram. There were two techs and myself in the room - all with ringside seats!!!

I thought somebody posted on here about this more recently. I thought I read on here about someone having to witness you giving the sample or checking for something.

So today when i went for a pre-employment urine drug screen, I thought that because I had to go to a certain designated place at a designated collection time, that I would have been supervised.

So I wore a jockstrap, figuring I'd have to strip in front of someone to give a real sample. But when I was brought to the room, I was asked to empty my pockets, then go in the bathroom and wash my hands. Then I was given a beaker to pee in, and what the minimum level was. i was told i could shut the door behind me, but not to wash my hands or flush the toilet.

But this was another place, aside from where I go to physical therapy, that has the paper towel dispenser outside the bathroom. So I usually go to the bathroom with the door open so that my wet washed hands don;t touch the doorknob. Only because i was directed not to wash my hands after peeing (though ultimately after I gave the sample, I could), my hands weren't wet.

Maybe if I had to go for a random test, or a test based on suspicion, it may have been supervised? For some reason, I woke up this morning kind of excited at the prospect that I might be watched by a medical professional.

This thread is very similar to the "Pee While the Doc is Watching You" thread (or vice versa)!

At a hospital, I worked at I had to provide one twice. I drank plenty of water on the way because right when I wake up I have to pee. So it isn't like I could hold it until I got there and pee. She wanted midstream clean catch. I had to wash my hands. I was given a set of gloves non-powdered sterile gloves and a cup that were on a cart. She sort of watched me spread and pee. After I finished I put it on the cart. Then I wiped and she told me to put the top on. She had gloves on and picked it up and wiped it clean with a cloth she had. After that, she recorded the temperature which was showing on the side. Then she told me to remove my gloves. Then she put the red tape on it and had me initial the red tape and sign the paper. The next day she called and said I needed to come down for a urinalysis. I told her I did it the day before. She told me it was too watered down. She watched closer the second time. Then when she noted the temperature she noted clear. I laughed and told her that if she wanted to see amber she needs to be at my house when I wake up because it is a 45+ minute drive. I have to shower, put on my makeup, and get dressed. She laughed and I didn't hear from her again. Oh and I must have passed because I got that job.

I would not want to do her job. I have changed bed pads, diapers, catheters, bedpans, etc. But to do just that every day would get old fast.

This morning I had to empty my pockets. Having read recent posts on this thread and the fact that I had to go to a designated place instead of just Quest Diagnostics, and that they only conduct urine drug screen specimens during certain hours, I thought there was a good chance someone would watch me.

Exhibitionist me was actually excited when i woke up this morning of this possibility. So I wore a jockstrap under my pants.

Like Flames, i had to empty my pockets. But I was told I could close the door to pee. Though I had to wash my hands first, then go in and pee and was told not to wash my hands or flush the toilet while i made the sample.

@Flames, was that pre-employment or random drug screening? I was thinking maybe if it were random or because of suspicion on the job, they may have to watch.
