HOUSTON, Texas -- Another day, another claim of passengers being treated poorly by airline employees.

This time, a passenger says she was told to pee in a cup during a recent United Airlines flight from Houston to Kansas City.

Nicole Harper was on a flight home when she had to use the bathroom. She said she's had an overactive bladder her entire life and told flight attendants about her condition. But when the mother of two tried to use the bathroom while the "fasten seat belt" light was on, she was told no.

Instead, Harper said she was given a cup.

"They handed me the cup which was about this big," Harper told a reporter, holding her fingers a couple inches apart.

"So, I said 'I'm going to need a second cup.' It's a completely humiliating situation. There's people all around. Strangers. They just didn't understand that I really did not have any control over this situation. They need to focus a little bit more on their paying customers and have more customer service."

United Airlines said it is in contact with Nicole and is investigating the situation.

Did you watch the video in your bullshit story?

She said, "So I said, well, I'm going to need to, you know, use the restroom or I'm gonna need a cup." The first 4 paragraphs of your story directly contradict her version in the video.

From the headline, I thought they had instituted drug testing for all passengers.

It sounded like they were on approach. Sometimes in mid flight when the "stay in your seat" light is on, they will give a little but not on approach. Even so, someone who has such a medical issue should wear a depends or something when they are in situations where they may be prevented from going on demand for extended amounts of time such as on planes. You never know how long you will need to stay seated. And the "stay in your seat" is not just for your safety but the safety of everyone else. This lady needs a reality check.
