Adam C. says:
I got fired from my job after my back ground check came back with a "hit" I got arrested for weed a year ago and driving with out insurance. That is really fucked up because all these charges got dropped.

Alexis L. says:
That's not really irony. It sucks, but isn't the slightst bit ironic.

Hmmm... I admire that you're looking for sympathy on yelp after some of your previous posts! Other than that, not sure what to tell you.

Adam C. says:
I find it really fucked up because no one convicted me! They arrested me for weed but they did not prove I had it. The cop did not show up so I did not even get a trail. They told me well it shows here if they wanted to they can come back and convict you. I am confused and really pissed off now.

Dan "de facto Consigliere" M. says:
Wait- isn't this the same guy who wanted to know how to pass a drug test, even though he has smoked weed every day since... birth, or something?
Well, I don't know if I'd call it irony, and while some may not find it funny- what's that other word that's thrown around here a lot?
Schnadenfreude.

I'm not one to defend Chicago PD, but how DO you get arrested for drugs when you didn't have any?

Lori "with the faulty tastebuds" L. says:
Shocking...you were arrested for possession of weed.
Don't forget to have a milkshake with that Big Mac. It makes the pain go away.

maggie "betty f." r. says:
Are you sure that's why they fired you?
I'm so shocked, too. 'Cause you seem like such a likable person.

Dave "Cats Rule" N. says:
Finding a trail lawyer in Chicago should be a walk in the park for you, just remember leafs of three leave them be. and you do have a case if that's why you got let go, anyone can get arrested, but with no conviction you can not be held accountable for it.

Izzy N. says:
[Hmmm... I admire that you're looking for sympathy on yelp after some of your previous posts! Other than that, not sure what to tell you.] There's the irony for you... being a jackass and now coming back here crying.

Here is a person who is reaching out to fellow Yelpers for comfort after losing his job, and all he gets is sarcasm. And that maryjane found - most likely wasn't his.
Man!
Now,
It probably belonged to the crack whore he was banging.
Super size that milkshake... and fries will ease the pain even more.
Thought the results showed you were pregnant Joe

Paul Y. says:
Adam,
Are you positive it was your record they fired you for, and not the ongoing sage of how to cheat the drug test that might have alerted them to maybe dig deeper than they would have normally?
Seriously, if you are going to ask questions of that nature on a popular website, you should at least remove your picture from your profile.

Paul Y. says:
Rethinking what I wrote...
Do you think they found your record because they were digging deeper than they would have normally?

Chris "Sunny in Philly loving" G. says:
hmm. . .I don't understand this whole background check thing.
What does it show? what does it not? I mean it doesn't seem right if what he said is true "I was accused, never proven dropped" why would that show up on a background check?
I'm lost!
*don't do weed, watch weeds. . .at least until the 3rd season. It really is starting to go nuts.

Matthew S. says:
omg. i want to say something really awful, but can't think of anything.
damn head cold.
i'd suggest skipping the mcdonalds, and saving the cash up for more resume paper.
have you tried getting a job at the bong shop on belmont? somehow i think they might over look weed.
xo ,

"Dude, don't say 'bong'--we'll get kicked out. It's 'waterpipe'."

Alanis' song:
'It's like a background cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck
that came out late
It's that bong riiiiiiiiiiiip
that I just had to take
Now I don't have a joooooooooob
From this dumb mistake
And who would have thought or figured?'
I agree...not any more ironic than Alanis' song.

Ryan "It was the egg rolls, not the ecstasy" K. says:
I've never heard of a background check long after you have been hired...
You must have been slipping up. Coming to work late, not showering, smell of cheap booze and weed, and they figured, how can we can this clown? Blockbuster doesn't deserve this...

Sophie E. says:
LMAO to Sy's post above. Good one!
