Have You Ever Had One of Those Real Life Situations That Cause You to Pinch Yourself……?

Question by : Have you ever had one of those real life situations that cause you to pinch yourself……?
…cause you might be dreaming?
Here is one from my life… see if you can top it.

My bro-in-law has a bad Opiate addiction. Oxycodone. But also mixes in Morphine some times. He has lost everything good in his life… jobs, wives, kids, homes, cars, belongings, health, friendships, etc. We helped him into detox and rehab a few times… to no avail. He robs and steals and makes a living selling other people’s stuff. He keeps chasing the high and buying and selling drugs and working with corrupt doctors to sell prescriptions for them. He recently moved to another state to get away from his life here in Virginia. He moved in with his mother and looking for a job.

Here is where I pinch myself:

He calls me… he has applied for a job at ADT (the alarm system company). He wants me to give him a reference. I refuse.

He gets the job anyway and calls me back, “How long do I have to be off Opiates to pass a drug test?”

I said, “What kind of test?”

“The hair test.”

“Shave yourself bald.”

While I’ve never experienced anything quite as traumatic as that, there have been times. For instance, the other day, I was accused by a security guy of shoplifting paint from a hobby lobby…that seemed surreal. It’s the things that stretch out of your daily norm that can do that.
