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.
If this had been one of their regular union workers, he would be on ‘paid leave’ right now, and would return to regular work after the whole thing blows over.
Notice this was a “seasonal worker”, which means the guy was probably a temp contractor.
Streaming video ?
They gotta go somewhere! Do you really think they make ANY allowances for drivers to take potty breaks? During holiday delivery season? It is to laugh.
His package delivered.
UPS is very clear that drivers should not unwrap their package.
How tough is it to chuck a piss jug over the fence too, eh?
Along with the Cheaper Than Dirt order? That’s the way she goes boys.
No left turns to bathrooms allowed.
You are one coy Sasparilla.
Careful where you pee :)
I’ve used a V-8 juice bottle too, on I-95 going around DC.

haha!!! but honestly, i am disappointed that UPS didn't respond to his complaint until he went public... boo!
Same perfect size as a Gatorade bottle, hehe. Hydration is important to delivery personnel. I think there’s a song by
Modest Mouse you would enjoy. Interstate 8.
Who leaked the video?
