One night, Examinee arrived at Examiner's office with examinee's boyfriend; she was very agitated. (During a break, while examinee left to smoke a cigarette, her boyfriend confirmed that she was under the influence of drugs). Examinee wanted testing in regards to trust issues her mother had about her, and in regards to cheating on her boyfriend other than what he already knew about.

Ultimately, she passed, showing no deception. Her written report was four pages, of standard polygraph verbage.

Two days after the report was issued, Examinee telephoned. She confirmed that the results were completely accurate-- she says she was telling the truth, and the report said she was telling the truth. But she said that the report 'needed to be added to'. When she was asked what was missing, she said 'the other questions' (known as 'irrelevants', she mentioned those that had been used such as "Is today Monday?"). She said these were needed for her mother. When told those are not part of a typical report, she got even more foul-mouthed and threatening.

Note: polygraph reports traditionally list only the relevant (client-requested) questions. The baseline-truth (irrelevant) questions are not listed on a polygraph report as they are not scored nor are of any importance.
