I just got a call back from the HR department telling me that my urine test came back diluted. WTF.
I drank 2 cups of coffee, then had breakfast, which consisted of 6 boiled eggs and 2 oranges. I drank a liter of water to help wash the eggs down. I had to pee twice before the test, so on my way out the door, I drank about half a cup of plain tea. That’s a normal fluid intake for myself. I also take a B complex vitamin (which I guess should add color), but still came back diluted.
Now they are letting me take it again tomorrow. I did nothing to try and dilute my first test so I am somewhat worried the second will come back the same.
Anyone ever have this problem? What happens if my second comes back “diluted”? I assume they will think I cheated.

The drug tests I have to give occaisionally at work only test for THC, PCP, amphetamines, and LSD, I think. I don’t think any kind of test would show up.

Companies don’t generally test for anabolics or the like it’s more expensive and generally they are looking for mind altering drugs, opiads, marijuana, uppers(coke meth etc)
First of all, are you worried about passing your test?
If not, all you can do is keep explaining or declaring false positives. It’s in your rights that as long as your urine test doesn’t come back dilluted-positive you can take it as many times as you need. That being said, like other people, just take a break on the water, you’ll be alright.
Yeah, I’m not concerned with failing. I just gave them my morning pee, now I am fucking starving and had to delay breakfast 2 hours. She said it didn’t look diluted so I should be in the clear.

Did you fill it over the rim? If they make you do it again shit in the cup and tell them you got confused.

Uhhh not sure where you heard that but declaring false positives and getting retested is not a legal right. Most places will allow current employees to retest at their own expense for a false positive but they don’t have to. Drug users are not a protected class. So unless it is a local law, union agreement, or in your employment contract (assuming you have one and arn’t an employee at will like 99.99% of the population) then the company doesn’t have to do shit.
There are some truly astonishing figures about how much it costs this country each year for false positives. Most people just end up never getting a job offer or even a call back. The best way to protect yourself is to write down anything you think may cause a false positive. So for most of us that could be certain foods like seeds, protein powders, and other suppliments.
