I don't think it is a big deal. I would have just said someone just came by my desk and it seems important and put it on mute for a minuteto go to the bathroom. Or hang up and say you got disconnected.
Oh please people. Work in retail. Customers shit in the dressing rooms, pee in them, leave bloody tampons and pads on the floor and stuck to the walls. My own urine in a cup is nothing compared to that shit.

Maybe it's because I grew up with two older brothers and an older sister that had to pee all.the.time, but this doesn't gross me out THAT much. I feel like I've seen so much worse.
I was mortified when I had to pee in a creek bed while hiking. I can't imagine peeing in my office. lol I'm more bemused than horrified.
I dont think you should be hiking if that makes you mortified.
I have ulcerative colitis, so sometimes if I have to go, it comes on strong and quickly. Thankfully, I can hold it a bit now. But 3 yrs ago, in Europe, really had to go, on top of a mountain, no bathrooms in sight, but at a touristy spot. I squatted and pooped. My H couldnt stop laughing.
There is an easy solution that does not involve peeing in a clear cup. You call in from your cell phone and then hang up your other phone. Mute your cell phone, carry it to the bathroom, pee, return to your office.
A friend of mine recently had to POOP while on a hike! And a guy was there that she was interested in. Oy. But.... it was an emergency.
Why did she tell him she had to poop?? LOL
She could have just told him she had to pee, he needs to wait there for a minute, then she could run off to where he couldn't see her, poop, then cover that shit up with leaves or something. This is why you always ALWAYS bring tissues or a wad of TP while hiking.
First, she's a very up front, honest person, so I can see her just blurting it out!
Past that, though, I don't know the specifics of how it played out, to be honest. I think she was w/ a group of people, and she hikes a LOT. As this never happened before, she may have simply been stymied it how to go about it/ finding a "private" spot, etc.
But like I said - I really don't know the specifics. She and the guy, though, are dating now and that whole episode is just one of their "ha ha" beginning of relationship stories!
Peeing out in the woods while hiking is totally acceptable and normal. Pooping, while unfortunate, is also acceptable as there are no other options. I find the peeing in a creek thing odd, though. Just pop a squat behind a tree or big rock or something.
