Random Drug Test Confessions: A Bus Driver’s Chrome Dome Chronicles

Ever wondered what happens when a bus driver is randomly drug tested and ends up confessing to a 40-year-old hash on toast mistake? From joking about 'underwear samples' to revealing youthful blunders, this unexpected encounter turned a routine check into a wild ride!


From Underwear Samples to Hash on Toast: The Unexpected Turn of a Random Drug Test

So there I am, cruising through my shift, delivering my best “Good morning!” to passengers, most of whom are too busy checking their phones to even glance up. Life as a bus driver, right? Then, out of nowhere, the powers-that-be decide it’s time for my random drug test. Apparently, my calm driving style and radiant scalp were a little too perfect that day.

They casually mention I might need to provide a urine sample, and without missing a beat, I jokingly offer, “No problem, I’ll leave my underwear behind, and you can test that. Get a whole week’s worth of data from it!” The reaction was priceless – turns out, urine tests are more their thing than “underwear samples.” Who knew?

Polished, Hidden, Humour

Now, let me set the record straight: I’m not naturally bald. I work hard every day to maintain my "chrome dome." It’s a lifestyle. So when they mentioned hair samples, I wasn’t too bothered. There’s not much hair for them to find, after all. But, as I’m standing there, I threw in a cheeky line, saying they’d probably detect more shaving cream than anything else. No harm in keeping things light, right?

But here’s where it got interesting: as they processed the test, they threw in the usual “any history of substances” spiel, which got me thinking back to my youthful days. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I found myself confessing a bit of a blunder from 40 years ago. You see, some friends thought it would be a laugh to have me unknowingly partake in the “fun side” of hash on toast. Yes, you heard that right – hash on toast. A quirky culinary experiment that I had zero idea about at the time. No harm in that, right?

The testers were stunned. 
“You did what?” they asked, incredulously. 
“And when was this?” 
I smiled and said, “About 40 years ago. Let’s just say, it was a case of youthful curiosity, and I haven’t had a slice since.” 
They looked at me like I’d just confessed to sneaking a sandwich of the more illegal kind.

Of course, they reassured me that it was long gone by now, but I couldn’t help wondering: do these tests really go that deep? Could they really find traces of my past indiscretions from four decades ago? I mean, I doubt they’d still be able to pick up the faint scent of hash butter, but you never know with these things, do you?

In the end, I passed with flying colours, but it’s safe to say my youthful adventure had earned me a spot in their “interesting case files.” And as for my shiny, bald head? Well, I’ll leave them guessing whether it’s just the shaving cream... or the faint memory of hash on toast.

Trump’s Tariff Tantrum: And We’re the Ones Driving the Fallout

When the markets crash, I don’t need Bloomberg to tell me. I see it on the faces at the bus stop. Tariffs go up, and suddenly everyone’s carrying packed lunches and stress. The billionaires aren’t panicking, they’re shopping. Economic Repercussions You can always tell when something’s up in the economy. Before it hits the headlines, it hits the bus. The bloke who used to chat about upgrading his car? Now asking if we’ve got any driver vacancies. The regular who used to buy a coffee for the ride? Cold flask. Same coat. Worn face. The fare dodgers are sneakier. The pensioners quieter. Everyone’s just… a little more tired. And me? I’m still driving the same route, dodging potholes the council can’t afford to fix, thanks to budget cuts brought on by yet another economic shake-up dressed in red, white, and blue. This time, it’s Trump’s tariff circus again. Round two. "America First" they said. More like markets last, small businesses folded, and guess who’s still getting richer? Y...

The Supreme Court Ruling Arrives… Somewhere Between Murrayfied and Mayhem

A Supreme Court ruling. A laminated headline. And a furious debate over womanhood... on a Thursday morning city bus. When national policy hits the Number X12, guess who gets caught in the crossfire? Spoiler: it’s the one with the steering wheel and no legal training. The Bus Stop Becomes a Battlefield I was three minutes early at the Exchange stop, which, in bus-driver time, is essentially a miracle, schedulers must have made some improvements to the timetable. The clouds were low, the queue was long, and Carol was armed, with a newspaper clipping, laminated and annotated like it was a sacred scroll. “Driver,” she said, climbing aboard like she’d been summoned to Westminster, “are trans women still allowed on this bus? Because the Supreme Court says…” I’m Just the Driver, Not the Department for Defining Women Now, I don’t sit in the Lords, I don’t wear ermine, and I didn’t rewrite the Equality Act over my tea this morning. I drive the bus. That’s all. But Carol had clearly made me the ...

Trumped by the Fare: When Coin Tosses Meet Trade Wars

Fare hikes arrive, Trump announces tariffs, and somewhere in the chaos, a man boards with last year’s change. I break the news with a smirk and a made-up tax. Confusion? Always, comedy? Guaranteed. When Small Change Meets Big Policy Some updates come with posters and emails. Others arrive via a baffled punter clutching three coins and a question mark. There’s something deliciously poetic about fare increases and global politics colliding at the exact moment someone’s rummaging through a lint-filled pocket for exact change. It always starts the same way: a familiar face boards the bus, throws in a few quid, exactly the same as they did in 2022, and expects time to freeze. Then they stand there. Expectantly. Waiting for a beep. A receipt. A miracle. Anything. “Sorry,” I’ll say with a gentle driverly shrug, “there’s been a slight fare adjustment.” Cue the blank look. The "Oh no, not again" furrowed brow. Sometimes the squint, as if the hopper might spit the coins back with an ap...
