Someone please help me understand why someone would whiz in a plastic jug.

People stuck in traffic jams.........

[Mr. Jeeves]

So they don't have to stop driving.

Because they don't want to stop. On long trips, my wife and I like to drive straight through the night, and have been known to have our boys pee in a jug rather than trying to last until the next exit.

We don't leave the jugs by the side of the road, though.

Prostrate problem drivers

[Fangorn]

You obviously never went on a long vacation trip with my dad driving the car. Rest stops occurred when he needed to go, and I swear the man had the water storage capacity of a camel.

For me and my brother, a Folger's coffee can in the back floorboard had to suffice. Much easier to hit than that little hole in the plastic milk jug.

But we made good time...

Over-the-road Truck drivers would be my guess.

That way they don't need to take "potty breaks"

[luvbach1]

Laziness?

Truckers, folks driving on business, weary parents with young children who would have to stop every half an hour. All are up against it. Most interstates have few rest stops and many drivers are loathe to pull off the highway. For truckers, it's even worse. They don't need fuel, since their tanks hold lots. They're on the clock and have to get from here to there in a minimum of time.

The solution? Rest stops and plenty of them. No rest stops? You get folks peeing in jars, bottles, empty McDonalds drink containers...whatever.

Not an excuse...just an explanation.

having been an over the road truck driver my partner and I would wiz in a juice container (they had a larger opening) because their was no place to pull over sometimes on the highway I or my partner would wake up in the cab and have to go so it was easier to go into the juice container than try to pull over off the road somewhere We usually saved the bottle till we pulled into a rest area but on a few occasions I would throw them out along with the others at the truck inspection sites next to the do not litter signs give the damn DOT inspectors something to do.

Because the glass ones are getting harder to find?

If you think that’s odd, the history of such practices is even more bizarre! Subway motorman in New York City in the early 1900’s worked very long hours without a break and routinely wore a device called the “motorman’s friend”. It was a rubber urinal strapped to the lower leg inside the pants with a hose running up the pant leg ending in a funnel at the male member. Comparatively speaking, a detached plastic jug is downright civilized!

Never tried to whiz out the window of a moving car, eh?

[MattAMiller]

Once I was a passenger in a convoy of cars. We couldn't pull over cause we didn't know where we were going. And we couldn't contact the other drivers. So I whizzed in a bottle and tossed it out the window.
