5. Years ago I unloaded semis with a forklift at a food warehouse.

It was a small dock and I was alone with the driver as I unloaded him. He was telling me how he hadn't been home for a long time until the past weekend and had smoked some weed with his girlfriend. I wondered where this was leading and soon found out--he was informed he would be randomly drug tested and he wanted me to give him a clean urine sample.
It still ranks as the strangest request I've ever had.
I told him, "sorry, no, I can't do that". He knew the rules and he knew he could be randomly drug tested. Besides, I didn't know him from the man in the moon so why would I risk my job to help him do something that was wrong.
Choices, meet consequences.
