Drug tests are incredibly insulting, regardless of whether they are demanded by the government or a private company. Hell, it’s almost worse when it comes from an employer.

Interviewer for the job I currently have (in reality): “Okay, good educational background and a lot of experience. All of your previous supervisors spoke highly of you. You are a great fit for this job. Oh, but before we can offer you the job, you are going to have to take a drug test.”

Interviewer for the job I currently have (in my head): “All evidence suggests you are a professional who takes his work seriously. On the other hand, you are young. So you probably smoke pot. Or maybe you sniff glue. I don’t really know because I’m just operating off of stereotypes. Either way, you shouldn’t be trusted. Hand over your bodily fluids.”
