Nicole Harper, a mother from Missouri in the US, has said she was told to “pee in a cup” during a United Airlines flight.
The mother-of-two with an overactive bladder was travelling from Houston to Kansas City and says it was around the time flight attendants were serving drinks that she tried to go to go to the bathroom.
She was told the pilot was expecting some turbulence and asked to sit down.
“[I said] ‘Hey I’m going to need to go, this is urgent and I have an overactive bladder’,” Harper told KCTV5.
“[The flight attendant] very rudely told me I was not allowed to leave my seat.”
The mum responded, “I’m going to need a cup, then.”

Her story doesn't make sense. Why would they reprimand her for peeing in a cup if they told her to do it?
Some people have such a sense of entitlement. If the seatbelt sign is on, then the seatbelt sign is on. You just have to hold it. I hate using the toilet on planes so I don't drink anything before hand or on the plane. Maybe this woman needs to control her liquid input next time.
OK, the woman admits that she told the flight attendant she would need a cup to pee in if they wouldn't allow her to go to the bathroom, so by her own admission she forced herself to pee in the cup, not the flight attendant. She also admitted that the attendant told her the pilot was expecting turbulence and was told sit down for her own safety. She needs to get over it, try wearing depends or something, she knew she was going to be on a plane and there is never a guarantee the bathroom will available when you need it on a plane. Why do people get there panties in a twist over something that was their fault and is really a non-issue?
