I’m curious, has anyone actually tried urinating in a bottle here while on the road?
I tried it once, and found it so convenient I’ve done it multiple times now. These Amazon workers may be onto something. All those times I had to urinate so badly while stuck in traffic, I never realized a bottle could be so easy to use. I imagine if you’re in a delivery truck where you could stand up walk into the back it would be even easier, almost trivial. So what’s the big deal?
To discard the urine, I will typically pull over to the side of the road and open the door slightly to empty the bottle discretely. I’m trying to think what the best bottle to keep in the car for this purpose could be. Something made of glass and with a long neck is ideal, to avoid spills. A wide mouth is also helpful. Maybe something like a yellow hydroflask.
From now on, when I do a long road trip, urination will no longer be a reason for me to have to stop and pull over. If this saves me time, I imagine it would save an Amazon driver time AND money.
- mindslight 6y agoYup. Once you know, you know. SoBe bottles are available at many gas stations. Not the biggest mouth, but having fresh bottles makes up for it.
- johtso 6y agoYeah, spot on. I was slightly surprised by the almost universal sentiment that peeing in bottles was bad. The tricky thing is that in this context, the fact that drivers are peeing in bottles is likely a symptom of a broken system that is exploiting workers and forcing them to spend all the time they can on the road. Definitely have no interest in defending profit optimisation at the expense of people.
