I love this one because you know the woman got lippy with the flight attendant, and the flight attendant called her bluff.
"I have to use the restroom"
"Sorry ma'am, we are in line for take off. Everyone has to stay in their seat. As soon as we are up to altitude you can use the restroom."
"I have to pee right now. I would pee in a cup if I had one."
"Here ya go." -hands her a cup-"UNITED AIRLINES FORCED ME TO PEE IN A CUP1!!!11!"
I call bullshit on no spillage. Under ideal circumstances there is always spillage.
Are you assuming that she's a vagina-woman just because she showed you her pronouns?
I've heard that an overactive bladder is a common side-effect of some transitioning hormones...
I'm pretty sure there is some spillage for penis-owners in most situations.
Source: I lived with one or more penis-owners a good portion of my life and had to clean the bathroom.

Meh, depends. On long road trips as a teenager we would sometimes leave for our destination with a cooler of Gatorade and get there with a bunch of Gatorade bottles full of urine. No real spillage.
Unless there was a chuckhole on the interstate.

Gatorade bottle is bigger with more precise aim than a cup on an airplane.

@Karla speaking as a penis-owner, you're less likely to miss when you're peeing directly into the cup than you are if you're aiming it from waist-high. But really, missing while you're peeing only happens if you're standing too far back or your aim is really bad. Shaking it when you're done can inadvertently fling a few drops around, even if you're careful, but if you're peeing in a cup you just wipe the drip off on the edge. Not gonna do that with a cold porcelain bowl...

You need a She-Wee.

I'm pretty sure if my bladder is that full that I HAVE to pee, I've got way more than a cup will hold.
I suspect most men's bladders are bigger than mine.
-
@Karla you can stop it once it starts, you know. And your bladder will be less full than it was before...
Some people have really tiny bladders, though. She might've given it all she had.

Not if you have to pee so badly that you are about to piss your pants. I couldn't. Not without pinching.
-
@Polygeekery once most of the pressure is relieved, I mean.

Married women on road trips. Tiny bladders. Roughly the size of a walnut.
-
@Polygeekery or airplane trips, apparently.

I took these on a 85 mile bike trip:
But I also don't have much of problem peeing in the bushes if necessary.
-
@Karla I wonder why the "One Size" costs roughly half as much per count as the larger packs?

When you have to go that bad...it is not easy to stop.

@Karla It's a unisex product… with a female variant
-
@RaceProUK but the female variant is pink!
edit: oh, that's even better... according to the Q/A section, the color of the box is the only thing that's different!

This was years ago, I probably bought them at K-Mart.

I picked them up at K-Mart was just trying to find something.

Level of inebriation is a factor, too. Or so I've heard.

You mean: women who have given birth. They're never the same afterwards.

You are the reason mommy pees a little bit every time she laughs.

@Karla Yep, I've heard that line at my house many times.

Our urethras tend to be just a wee bit longer than yours. Or a not so wee bit, if you're lucky.

@antiquarian It popped up on the Windows 10 News app and had an extra story embedded:

American Airlines is cutting legroom in economy class by another two inches to add more seats on its new planes. Sources tell CNN bathrooms

I suspect most men's bladders are bigger than mine.Having had cause to measure it, I've managed 2 pints in the past. Though I suspect the duration taken to pass the first pint allowed my kidneys to rush a 2nd through in the meantime...
* That needs to be a thing, but ICBA.

We did away with the post counter in the threads. Or, at least, it seems like we have.

@wharrgarbl a hard refresh brings it back for a little while. I CBA.

@Polygeekery Well, that's one thing FF54 gets right.
But not hi-dpi.

Is that more or less than 3 pixels in high dpi?

In FF, that would be 2 pixels.

I wish they would have let me keep my toddler on my lap the one time I flew with her. She fought me so much, I almost couldn't get her into her seat and buckle her in.
They threatened to throw us off unless I could buckle her in.
