I guess I'm curious as to why NO ONE over heard this?

"Is someone pouring water?"

Omg.

[pixy0stix]

99% of people know that if you pee in a venti cup, you're going to fill it.

[emmybean]

Well I hope she apologized to everyone else on the call.

[smock]

I just can't stop thinking about what would have happened if she'd peed 22 ounces.

[pixy0stix]

I just... yeah man, no.

[bqbride]

Not that one. Just the thought of the logistics of that...the splashing! Then having the steaming cup of piss to dispose of. Just..no. WTFF? I am no that important--I can be excused to go to the bathroom if need be and the world will not crash and burn.

[crazytalk]

There were only a few people on the call, and at that moment I literally couldn't have run off.

Perhaps she's not aware of the meaning of the word "literally."

Here are some other options I can think of, just off the top of my head:
- IM a peer, "hey I'm running off for 1 minute, let me know if anything important happens." ..... "ok, I'm back."
- run out and hope for the best, and when you come back and someone's asking you something, you say "sorry, someone walked in for a moment, can you repeat that?"
- dial in 2 extra minutes late

I mean, really, what goes on in your head that "pee in a cup in my office" is a viable solution? I just can't.

[mominatrix]

well. gee. um. gee.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this woman has an inflated sense of self importance.

Like, if Barack Obama was in a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and suddenly realized that the large latte he just drank is catching up with him, I'm sure he could excuse himself for a minute to use Men's Room One, and let them just wait a minute.

You leave. You tell people you need to go, and you go. You don't leave the call, you leave the phone on your desk, you run to the john, and you pee. You don't pee in a freaking cup over a goddam conference call, unless that conference call has something to do with the end of the world.


Lordy, unless you're a brain surgeon, and you can't leave to go pee because you're holding somebody's fucking BRAIN in your HANDS, there's no fucking excuse to pee anywhere but a toilet.

Hah. I just came to post that.

[emilyj]

I...um...wow. That's pretty much all I've got.

[AJL]

I was wondering why this hadn't been C&P'd over here sooner!

[Melissa W.]

In what world is this even close to acceptable. Even a brain surgeon should know to pee first. I mean, we teach toddlers that you go before you have an accident!

[ringstrue]

^o)

...some surgeries are long. Like 12+ hours long.

You can only hold it for so long.

But, yeah.

[Melissa W.]

True but I imagine you aren't really eating and drinking during surgery so there isn't the added pressure. I know I am oversimplifying because I am grossed out.

[mominatrix]

Yeah.
Maybe a different example.

My mom used to work for a sports medicine doctor, and had some pretty icky tales to tell about marathon runners...

[GailGoldie]

seriously.

the simple RISK of pissing all over yourself, clothes, floor, etc = NOT worth it at all, no matter how important you think you are, etc.

I fear peeing myself after/during a run! I would rather take a hit to my time goals that do that.. Of course, I am a total amateur.

[emilyj]

I still can't figure out what bothers me more. The peeing in a cup in the office...or the fact that she filled up a 21 oz cup. I think the peeing in a cup in the office is more disgusting...but the 21oz is more disturbing.

21oz!!!!!!!

[pixy0stix]

Don't the long distance bikers pee themselves?

I can't remember if it was this board or another one that was talking about that, and then there was a link to a different message board where some lady was confused about what bodily function was "acceptable" on a bike and crapped herself.

I have never seen anyone pee themselves. I have seen plenty of people (and have myself) get off the bike and pee right on the side of the road.

[heightsyankee]

I don't think it's a true story.

Go ask this question on H&F. You will get plenty of stories.

She had to pull her pants down. I am done.
