What if I flush the toilet during a drug test?
I recently had to take a drug test for a job. The person told me not to flush the toilet, but out of habit, I did. I am worried it will affect my results. If you have had experience giving drug tests, could you let me know if this has happened to you, and what results I could expect?
I told them I accidently flushed, but I peed in a cup. I just dont know if it will be marked as suspicious and then void, you know?

You peed in a cup right?
The toilet flushing rule is because they put blue dye in the toilet bowl, if you actually peed, then the water will turn green. That’s because we typically pee more than what is needed. This is to make sure that you aren’t using someone else’s urine.
I would just assume that they will ask you to retake one.
Did you not tell them when you did it?
Edit: Like I said, you probably will be asked to do another one and make sure that you don’t flush. They use the dye to catch people who are using other people’s urine.
It really depends upon the protocol of the person doing the testing. For example, DOT drug test protocol states that if a person flushes the toilet during the urine collection, it is considered and attempt to adulterate the urine sample. For DOT tests, the urine specimen collector immediately performs an "observed collection" (to make sure they get a good sample). For your school it depends upon their protocol. It could be similar to DOT or not. You would have to read their policies and proceedures manual for drug testing to know for sure.
I would think that it just means your test will be weaker than usual.
I had one at school. I think it’s just incase there is a problem with the cup. I’m not sure though, good luck!
