Never have but I get background checked several times a year and Exxon does a credit check on you. I'm not sure what they are looking for. A friend of mine in high school, his dad a shop was full of stuff that had Exxon printed on it. From welders, air compressors, to hand tools. One day at a time.
Not sure how bad it would have to be for them to deny you. There's some shady contractors out there.

I find it boring, they are pretty stiff. They couldn't phase me if they tried though. I wish I could play around and see if I can lie well on it but for this it's just easier to answer the stupid questions and move on.

My brother in law was a supervisor for a McDonalds franchise that has about 50 stores. They did polygraphs a lot. This one manager passed all his for years and they asked if you ever took product you didn't pay for. He finally got fired when he had a BBQ and invited some other managers and such and used McDonalds patties on the grille. Derp.

It's good being the boss, bro. Life insurance companies can go get fucked though.
That being said, it's definitely an American thing. Courts have pretty severely restricted random drug testing in Canada for privacy reasons. Which I'm fine with. I would never bring in random drug tests for my employees. That shit is just flat out wrong in most circumstances. After an accident? Of course. Pre-employment? Meh. Randomly on otherwisegood, reliable, productive employees? Fuck that.
The funny thing is that I can be polygraphed at any time but they need to notify me 30 days ahead in writing that they are going to have me take a piss test ...

Yeah, he wrote a recommendation for me from a previous job we worked together, he took it down and deleted the one I wrote for him as well.
Looks like that work bag now becomes my severance. I guess these are the times you find out who are truly your friends and who aren't. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed, but what are ya gonna do. *shrug*

As I already said, he stood there and watched me load up all my office stuff in it for 10 minutes and as I walked out he said he needed it. At -ANY- point he could have told me that, but he waited for me to fill it with my belongings and walk half way out the building with it.

While I don't blame you for your honest reaction, giving the bag back would have been the better choice. IMO it's never a good thing to leave a job on bad terms.
Yes it would have sucked, you could have asked him to walk with you to your car, dumped all your stuff in your car. Then you hand it back to him and say "once again thanks for the advance heads up and walking out with me to my car, here's the bag".
*SHRUG*
