Bizarre CF story

So, to start off- I'm not a toilet troll, have been around for years (Janet and Roy, penis beaker, Gregg's sausage rolls blah blah blah) but the weirdest thing happened yesterday.

We live in the US, and yesterday one of our neighbours, a guy we know fairly well, knocks on our door. He came in all in a panic, asking for a favour. DH, who is generally too bloody nice for his own good, says what's up, how can we help.

Neighbour then turns to me- and asks for a urine sample! It turns out some random woman on our street has a drug test at work and has asked him to go around trying to get a sample from someone who doesn't smoke weed! For context, drug tests are fairly common in corporate jobs here, have taken them myself. I don't see how she could have got away with bringing in a sample from outside anyway.

At this point I can see DH's face change to a mixture of Confused and Hmm. I said I had just been to the toilet and couldn't go again, to which he said he'd wait! I then told him I wouldn't be comfortable helping someone defraud their employer, to which he said that's fine, went on his way.

Who in their right mind would try and get a random woman to wee in a cup for them?! I understand that she is worried about her job and that he was trying to help her but Shock it was so strange!

That is amazing Grin!! I miss the days where a neighbour would ask for sugar

MyKingdomForBrie · 17/08/2018 19:37

That's very bizarre and you were completely right to refuse but I don't think he's a CF exactly, just misguided in trying to help her!

TroysMammy · 17/08/2018 19:39

Was he telling the truth or is he some kind of weirdo?

Why on earth would he be asking a neighbour for a pot of piss for someone else?

hiddeneverything · 17/08/2018 19:42

Looks like she will lose her job and be left without a pot to piss in.

StorminaBcup · 17/08/2018 19:42

I realise I'm totally missing the point here but why did he need a woman's urine sample? Is male/female urine different when testing for drugs?

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:42

I don't think he is the cheeky fucker as much as her- if the story is true, which I'm inclined to believe it is.

He's one of those "I know everyone round here types" (he's generally ok but this can wear a bit thin), and people in this area generally do smoke a lot of weed (and don't generally bother to hide it either).

Can you tell the difference between male and female wee?

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:44

hidden Grin

storm I have no idea whether male/female urine is different, but I guess different levels of hormones could be present (like when you POAS). I might also be talking out of my arse here, haha

That is one of the worst cases of CF-ery I I have ever heard!

beingthere · 17/08/2018 19:47

Beats my neighbour asking for my WiFi password lol!

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:47

fogcutter It's so weird, isn't it! I'm totally happy to lend milk, sugar, whatever but a jar of my own piss is a bridge too far.

OP posts:
StorminaBcup · 17/08/2018 19:49

Had to google this Grin

What does all of this mean to someone who is concerned about the differences between male and female urine when it comes to drug testing? For the most part, very little. Drug effects on males and females is for the most part the same across the board. Trace amounts of drugs in females can be higher, due to females being generally smaller in size and body weight

I think he wins the CF of the week award!

formerbabe · 17/08/2018 19:52

I said I had just been to the toilet and couldn't go again

Weird answer to give. I'd just say "no, I can't do that" and shut the door in his face. No need to explain your toileting routine.

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:53

Oh that's interesting Storm, thanks. I don't think I'll pass this onto neighbour though, it's not a conversation I ever want to reopen with him Wink I feel like our relationship is forever altered by him knocking on my door in a panic asking me for my wee on a Thursday evening Blush Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 17/08/2018 19:53

You can test for the difference and know whether you have a male or female sample based on hormones (& other factors I think) but in routine drug testing they wouldn't test for this as standard so no, it shouldn't matter...unless they test say a percentage of samples to check that it has come from the expected sex of the person who has provided the sample.

But yep...def odd request Vodka, though depending on how much you live by your username, maybe don't agree to help with any future breath test requests! Grin

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:54

Also, you're right formerbabe. I didn't need to explain myself. Am trying to work on being more assertive!

Op tthis made me laugh so much!

Crunchymum · 17/08/2018 19:56

So one neighbour was asking for another neighbour? Who isn't his partner? Shock

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:57

I am partial to a vodka lime soda (or vodka diet Coke) Sassy so I think I'd have to pass on that too Grin

Glad to be of service fog I said this to DH when neighbour left and he liked it too!

OP posts:
Crunchymum · 17/08/2018 19:57

Like number 5 was asking the lady of number 2 for a piss sample for person who lives at number 8????

VodkaLimeSoda27 · 17/08/2018 19:58

crunchymum yes!! So many boundary issues everywhere here it's unreal. I wouldn't do it for my best friend, let alone someone I don't know

OP posts:
Crunchymum · 17/08/2018 19:59

Bet he is shagging the lady who lives at number 8 Wink

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 17/08/2018 20:00
