Ben Lucas was shocked when he found his packages damaged earlier this month. That's when he went to the surveillance videotape and saw the shocking moment the driver urinated on his home. UPS eventually apologized and fired the seasonal deliveryman.
This guy puts the pee in UPS.
A Houston deliveryman was canned from his job after a customer caught him on camera taking a leak on the side of his house.
Ben Lucas went to the tape after items inside a package delivered to his home this month in the Heights neighborhood were broken and busted open.
He suspected the United Parcel Service worker tossed the packages over the fence. The man did — but instead of just taking off, he took time to heed nature’s call.
"I don't know how UPS trains their employees to go to the bathroom, but probably not someone's yard," Lucas told KHOU-TV. “It’s not like the cameras are hidden. They’re in plain view.”
Lucas posted the 100-second clip to YouTube Tuesday. It shows the driver pull up, toss the packages then proceed to pee on bushes and the side of the house. The stunned homeowner included pictures of the aftermath, showing how a large parcel filled with ammunition had burst open.
The driver’s pee was still visible when Lucas photographed the disturbing evidence.
“You're paying someone to take a package to go from point A to point B. So basically I paid someone to come to my house and pee on it," Lucas told the station.
The angry homeowner contacted the local UPS franchise and got in touch with corporate. After several dead ends, Lucas decided to post the video online and even to the UPS Facebook page to get some results.
A supervisor eventually called and promised to replace the broken items.
Ben Lucas was desperate to bring the bizarre incident to the attention of UPS brass, but it wasn't until he posted the video to the company's Facebook page and gave it to the media that they finally apologized.

"She was apologetic and wants to send me a 'we're sorry' gift," Lucas told KHOU.
UPS later fired the seasonal worker for violating “decency and delivery care” rules.
“No behavior like this is acceptable,” the company said in a statement.
Sounds like the driver was doing the penalizing.
First, tossing the package was wrong. Use the belt and the jacket to fashion a sling to let it down gently.
But the big no-no was peeing on concrete and siding. I live on a farm, I was raised on a farm, I’ve done a lot of outdoor peeing...but one should always pee on the dirt, preferably by a plant, or in the grass, they’ll thank you for it.
I’m not too surprised. I’d also like to say they seem to employ people with some of the worst attitudes.
Hmmm... Interesting what was in the broken open package. Maybe this UPS dude was trying to make some silly lib “statement”?
Well, actually that graphic is right in more ways than one.
Sometimes when people gotta go, they gotta go. You would hope he would be more discrete.
But throwing the packages over the fence? I think that is far more egregious.
That was what I thought too...
Exactly. I would never go on someones house, fence or anything else except dirt or grass in a relatively inaccessible area so they would never know. Avoiding personal property should be key...I would stop on some back road and run into the woods if I had to.
This all assumes that you HAVE to go.
