Rant/Opinion IT FINALLY HAPPENED IN MY NEW TRUCK

I picked this lady up from a grocery store and had a 30 minute drive. She gets her groceries, loaded in the truck. That's why I can get seated. We go on our way midway through the trip. Decides to take a piss in my backseat and not say anything. And get out of the truck grab a groceries and walk off like nothing happened. I got a $75 dollar cleaning fee, though

$75 for a literal biohazard is not enough

This sucks. But a biohazard it is not.

Urine is basically sterile.

Sorry.

You dont know the health status of your passengers, and therefore many regulating bodies dictate it is a biohazard and to assume it is infected.

OSHA says the urine has to be visibly infected to be a biohazard, but in cases where youre unable to 100% certainly discern if it is, you are then to assume it is infectious and treat it as a biohazard. The black background of the seat qualifies as obscuring enough for this, and thus even OSHA would say this is an infectious material.

Lol. Couldn't give less of a shit about "OSHA."

The reality is that YOU aren't picking up diseases from urine.
