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.

Homework Run: Scouting Service 4 from Queen Margaret University to Snowsports Centre

From coastline breezes to hilltop views, I’m plotting the perfect route, before I’ve even touched the steering wheel. Crossing Edinburgh without leaving my chair: A homework journey on Service 4. A desk-chair journey across Edinburgh, from campus calm to Pentland peaks, undertaken with nothing but a stop list, an overactive imagination, and the faint hope that the live version won’t involve too much swearing. Section 1: The Academic Warm-Up We start at Queen Margaret University, a place where the roads are wide, the air is fresh, and the biggest hazard is probably a student wandering out mid-scroll on their phone. From Queen Margaret Drive to Milton Link, it’s all fairly civilised, the sort of stretch where you think, I could do this all day. Then comes Corbiewynd and Parrotshot. According to Street View, these are perfectly normal residential turns. But I’ve driven enough “normal” turns to know they can become “hold-my-coffee” moments once real-life Edinburgh drivers get involved. By ...
