I went......for a check-up once. They stupidly asked for a urine sample. Last time I was asked for one
they needed the first deposit of the day as it were. Now, we all now the 'First of the Day' is
a bit of a monster. I'd had a few lagers the night previous and looked for a suitable item
to 'house' the sample to take to the doc's. The only thing remotely big enough was an old,
empty coffee jar which I duly filled like a reacehorse with red hot piss.
There I was in the waiting room, with a coffee jar full of luke warm piss inside a Tescos bag.
I was then called and handed over the jar only to be told that I could have done a 'Ickle bit'
in one of those sample bottles.
She smiled, took the jar and emptied my re-cycled lager into her sink...
...oh how I blushed...

She would have binned it even if there was only a little bitIf it's not in a sample bottle, there's too much likelihood of contamination from the container to trust any results.

Some instructions say that you are meant to capture the middle bit.So you have to piss for a bit, capture some in a sampler, then go back to pissing. It's a recipe for disaster...

I was one of those people that handed out and accepted those small piss bottleswhy didn't you just read the instructions?
I'll never forget the day I walked into the lab with a bag full of murder victim's poo. Didn't need a jar full of that either.
