Today, I was told I would not be getting the job I was offered because I failed my drug test. They never gave me a drug test. FML

They obviously got you confused with someone else.

Well, at least it's not a family owned company.

Either someone screwed you unintentionally via bureaucratic mix-up, or it was intentional and someone is working actively against you for their own motives. Anyway look at it like this, do you want to work for screw ups, or an environment is actively trying to sabotage you?

Try having a Florida welfare recipient pee in the cup next time?

Back in my day, not taking a test meant you failed it anyway!

That won't prove anything as even if OP took drugs, they won't be in his system indefinitely. Asking for a retake of a drug test and passing it after failing the first time would be rationalised by everybody as "he stayed clean for a little while because he knew the test was coming up". That's why these tests are usually done at random.

This is why I don't apply at places that drug-test for non-safety-related jobs. I don't do drugs, but the fact that they drug test says bad things about the company and their attitude towards their employees. (The explanation is kind of long-winded and beyond the scope of an FML comment.)

HAD they taken one...would you have passed?

Have a drug test taken...and DO NOT eat anything with Poppy seeds those jack up the tests usually...
