Title: So...lame.
Post by: primushead on Oct 10, 2006, 10:17 PM
Ok, so my parents started up an insurance plan for me on Blue Cross/Shield a couple of months ago.  In accordance with the plan, I had to take a quick medical exam which consisted of the usual (heart check, breathing check, etc.) and a urine test.

The guy administering it said that the piss test was only to check for AIDS - nothing else.

Anyway, I get a call today from my mom that says I'm not a preferred customer, but rather I was assigned as a standard customer, which means $25 more dollars a month.  "Why, I asked?"  

"Because you tested positive for Marijuana".  So she gave me the guilt trip about how I shouldn't do drugs...blah blah blah.

But, isn't that fucked up?  I signed a form when I did the exam, and I didn't see ANYTHING on there about a drug test.  

Anyway, my Mom is pissed (luckily, I've 'partied' with my Dad a couple of times, so he's secretly got my back. )  and I have to pay half of the insurance now a month...which is like $60 that I'd rather not afford.

Damn you, Insurance!!!! >:( >:( >:(

Quotei smell a law suit.


I was for real thinking about that.  Doesn't that infringe on privacy or something?  Especially if I didn't sign for it?

I thought it sounded sketch, but that's exactly what it said on the form too.  So I thought it was legit.

Yeah, I've always passed those tests with flying colors, for two jobs.  But, then again, I knew about them and planned accordingly.

Damn piss tests.  Gay.

all you have to do is quit for two weeks and do it again thru a different insurance.  i have done several of these life insurance tests and never had a problem.  they are usually more worried about tobacoo than anything else.

I lost a job once b/c I tested positive for marijuana. It was at a grocery store, of all places. WTF? It's not like I was operating heavy machinery or anything like that.

It was weak.

Super weak.

I feel your pain, man.

back in the day (1999, i think) i applied for GTE which is now verizon.  they had tests and shit that i had to take as part of the application process which included a typing test and test screen calls to see how you'd handle the job, and i was told i tested the highest of anyone ever, yet i failed to get the job because of my positive marihuana test.

To dating service lady: So when do you and me have the sexy intercourse?

Have you seen his racetrack interviews on the DVD extras?

"We have a saying in my country... If a horse is hungry, is like if a man is hungry.

If a horse is tall, is like if a man is tall.

If horse is sad... is like... if a man is sad..."

I can't wait for the movie: "You see my movie or I will be execute?"

Thanks a lot for starting the Borat quotes.  Especially since I don't own any of the Dvds.
