re: United passenger forced to use cup after being declined restroom

They started doing drink service, and other people getting up at this point," she said — including a first-class passenger, Harper notes.

Harper was ready for her turn when flight attendants told her the pilot was expecting turbulence.

Harper told the flight attendant she needed to use the restroom and it was urgent.

"She told me very rudely it was not allowed to get out of my seat," she recalled.

Harper weighed her options

"Well, I'm going to need a cup then," she said.

Harper was wearing a dress she could do a squat over the seat and just use a cup. She says she filled two cups with the help of her husband.

"I was thinking I was on 'Candid Camera' or being punked at this point," she said.

Harper says a flight attendant came back and told her to stand up and go empty her cups in the bathroom.

"She was basically reprimanding me and talking down to me through the aisle with other people listening," she said.

Harper says the flight attendant told her they would report her, the pilot would speak to her when the plane landed and the seats would all need to be cleaned by a biohazard team.

Slightly different take- CBS News

Or cup.

1 flight, 1 cup.

not UAL's fault if she's flying with a known medical condition that would cause this scenario, what would I have done? depends

I would have asked if a golden shower was an option

there would be an upcharge for that

If I see a fine woman trying to piss in a cup on a plane, my upcharge would be primed

I don't understand why a woman with an overactive bladder who is going to be flying on plane during which there will be restrictions on using the bathroom and may well be more restrictions if weather affects the flight, would not wear an undergarment which would protect in an emergency situation.

The other side of the story indicates she probably should have been able to use the facilities, but still, I don't understand why she wouldn't have taken precautions for a known health condition.

This country wants to blame everyone else instead of accepting any responsibility. Your sentiment has been mentioned yet some still want to blame the airline. Anyone who has flown knows their are bathroom restrictions at times.

Sounds like she needs adult diapers.
