Gerard Depardieu accused of urinating on floor of plane
[...]
While the scene may have brought the house down in French cinema theatres,
the real-life incident failed to raise a laugh on Tuesday from irate
passengers of the Dublin-based City Jet airline; they were told Mr
Depardieu's antics meant the plane would be grounded for two hours while
staff cleaned the carpet.

It's all-too typical of an airline these days, to ground a flight --
costing the world 2 hours x 200 people = 400 man hours -- in order to
clean up a little peepee at the back of the plane.

You're excusing the oafish behavior, then?

What was he supposed to do?
If he was that desperate, pee in his clothing--it looks big enough to soak
it up. Then they could just throw him off the plane.

Wait, and contemplate not getting ****ed next time!

Do like any grown-up: Pee while it's acceptable. There's a reason why
parents send their kids to the restroom prior to leaving the house.

It's sad to see Depardieu drunk and loosing control once again.

arranged some electrons, so they looked like this:

*...
*... It could have been a scene from a scatological French farce - one of the
*... hundreds of films that have made Gerard Depardieu France's best-known
*... actor.
*...
*... By Henry Samuel, Paris
*... 17 Aug 2011
*...
*... A seemingly drunk Depardieu is caught short in a Paris to Dublin flight
*... after the seat belt sign has been switched on for take off. With the
*... lavatories closed, the 62-year-old calls out "I need to ****, I need to
*... ****". But the cabin crew say "non", he will have to wait until the plane
*... is airborne.
*...
*... So the corpulent star of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jean de Florette and Green
*... Card decides to take matters into his own hands. It is understood the movie
*... star got out of his seat and tried to relieve himself into an empty bottle
*... at the back of the plane but also peed on the floor.
*...
*... While the scene may have brought the house down in French cinema theatres,

*...
*... The French star, who was travelling with two companions, was thrown off the
*... flight with his luggage and told to book another one.
*...
*... An outraged female passenger told France's Europe 1 radio: "Mr Depardieu
*... got up, calling out 'I need to ****, I need to ****'" as the plane was
*... heading to the runway.
*...
*... "The air hostess replied: 'I am sorry, you'll have to wait 15 minutes until
*... we are in the air, everyone is strapped in, the lavatories are shut, I can
*... do nothing for you.'
*...
*... "He said: 'No, I cannot wait.' He got up, and did it on the ground..
*...
*... "The hostess was shocked, but nothing was said - everything was done
*... courteously."
*...
*... "Mr Depardieu sat down again, and we went back to the plane parking space."
*...
*... The passengers said she was "outraged" by an actor who "thinks he is not
*... like others, that he has to abide by their rules. He could've waited a
*... couple of minutes."
*...
*... City Jet confirmed that an incident took place but declined to name the
*... individual involved.
*...
*... On Twitter, CityJet chose to see the funny side of the incident.
*...
*... "As you may have seen on the news, we are busy mopping the floor of one of
*... our planes this morning...," read a first message.
*...
*... A second read: "We'd also like to remind all passengers that our planes are
*... fully equipped with toilet facilities..."
*...
*... Mr Depardieu's agent said he declined to comment on the incident.
*...
*... This is by no means the famously tempestuous food and wine-loving star's
*... first brush with controversy.
*...
*... In 2005, he smoked on a Jonathan Ross chat show on BBC ONE, and branded his
*... fellow countrymen a bunch of "cretins". Later that year he knocked out a
*... paparazzo with a headbutt after he photographed him with a female
*... companion.
*...
*... Last year, he called a female TV journalist a "slut" after she asked a
*... question about his deceased son, Guillaume, then dubbed his fellow French
*... male actors "narcissistic" and "self-satisfied". A real actor, he said was
*... one who "has vomit on him, who stinks, who has just crapped a bit out of
*... fear."
*...
*... Then he caused a furore last August by branding Oscar-winning French
*... actress Juliette Binoche a "nothing" and a "nobody".
*...
*... This drew a fierce response from French actors, one of whom, Annie Duperey
*... said: "Gérard Depardieu talks rubbish. At this stage of his fame and
*... drunkenness he thinks anything goes.
*...
*... "He was a great actor but he should shut his mouth."
*...
*... Mr Depardieu was voted France's third most irritating celebrity in a 2010
*... poll, behind First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and film star Alain Delon.
*...
*... Although lauded as a genius at his best, he has often been criticised for
*... agreeing to appear in countless flops. Indeed, he recently admitted: "I've
*... made 200 films, of which 150 were crap".
*...
*... He had epic, public spats with his son Guillaume, who died three years ago
*... and who described his father as a "coward, a cheat and lazy" in his
*... autobiography, Tout Donner (Giving Everything).
*...
*... On a chat show in May, he repeated over and again in slurred speech: "I am
*... a piece of garbage."

I so wish he would rid the world of his presence...

Do like any grown-up: Pee while it's acceptable. There's a reason why

Most departure lounges don't have toilets.

Many do, and there's usually one not far away, at least in most airports
I've traveled from.

Apart from the fact that all airports do have public restrooms: As I
wrote, there's a reason why parents send their kids to the restroom
prior to leaving the _house_ (and that's not the "airport house").

It was probably the result of being kept too long in a departure
lounge without access to the toilets. It happens frequently.
I was on a flight from Orly once when half the male passengers made a
dash for the toilets when the seat belt light went out. I got there
first.

The other passengers didn't pee on the floor at the back of the plane
though. I'd say the drinking was the biggest factor in this particular
case...

Are you saying they should just IGNORE it???? Most countries have health
regulations, which airlines are expected to observe - I'm sure Ireland is
no exception. (Perhaps they should extend their "no fly" lists to include
inconsiderate, drunken celebrities, as well as possible "terrorists"!)


Not only that, but I would have given him a bucket of hot water with Clorox
or Lysol disinfectant and made him clean it up himself; then had the police
waiting for him with handcuffs when he landed!

Right on! (You and I may disagree about a lot of things, but this one we
seem to be of one mind about!)

Maybe I have used more airports than you.

How often did you pee in a bottle at the back of the aircraft? Never, I
bet.

He was drunk...
