more dignified. This is so damn weird, and then puts the cup back, Like WTF. Guess he must be trying to spread conservatism.

...just kidding. In a heartbeat. And they'd do far worse, in my opinion. Getting caught on tape is amazing. Geeesh, what's this world coming to when a guy can't even piss in a person's cup without some nosy camera catching him.

The guy probably couldn't hold it in with enough time to get to the proper toilet.
Someone please tell me what is wrong with this? Am I uncivilized, or what?

Maybe he really had to go and the bathroom was just too far away. or he didn't have time to look for it.

Seriously, c'mon. Maybe since I'm female I don't get the casualness off whipping it out whenever, but do know what it's like to reeeaally need to go, and never once considered any option but be uncomfortable until I could use a bathroom.

Personal experience:

I was caught in traffic and needed urinary relief. I was looking up the road for the nearest gas station, fast food restaurant anyplace I could get the car parked and run inside. While sitting there waiting for the red light to turn I glanced down and saw an empty McDonald's coffee cup and thought "if it gets really bad, I can use that cup". It immediately got really bad. The choice was in the cup or in my pants--holding was no longer an option.

Prostate problems do that to you.

Neither of which I have experienced, but from what I have heard is pretty awful. Such a concern, in fact, that special pads are made for incontinent women-maybe they should make a special cup for men who have less control or tolerance?

Peed into an empty coffee cup, not a cup of coffee. I expected it to be some kind of prank where he tried to get someone to drink it.
