A woman in Modesto, California has found herself at the center of an online controversy after being filmed urinating in public outside a liquor store in broad daylight. The shocking moment, captured on video and later uploaded to Reddit, has stirred intense debate online, with some calling it “disgusting” and others expressing concern for her well-being.
The brief clip, reportedly taken by a bystander near a local California liquor store, shows the woman standing on a sidewalk near the store’s entrance. Dressed in jeans, a maroon shirt, and a black and white hoodie. She holds a cigarette in her hand and carries a purse over her shoulder as she begins to urinate through her clothes, visibly soaking herself before the stream hits the pavement. A man behind the camera can be heard calling her out, saying, “That’s disgusting. Why would you do that?”
The incident occurred in a busy area where cars can be seen speeding by, and other shops are visible in the distance. She obviously didn’t try to hide the fact that she was urinating all over the sidewalk. The woman did nothing to cover herself or attempt to be stealthy in any way. She didn’t even pull her pants down.

The woman didn’t seem to be disoriented in the quick clip. However, it’s impossible to gauge the situation from a few-second video. However, the internet didn’t hold back with its opinions.
“Can’t tell if it’s worse that she peed on the sidewalk or that she filled her pants,” one person commented after watching the video. Another stated, “She must have been holding in a lot of pee in order to soak through her pants and onto the floor. Even making a puddle!”
“The way she tries to play it off is so strange. Like, you just did it in front of God and everyone. Own it,” a third person wrote. “This is why people who wear shoes inside the house scare me,” a fourth person commented. “Marking her territory,” joked another.
As the clip continues to circulate, it raises uncomfortable questions about public decency, compassion, and how society responds to visible distress, especially when it plays out so publicly. This California woman seemingly knew exactly what she was doing. However, every story has two sides. Meanwhile, it does serve as a reminder to always watch where you’re walking, because you never know who was doing what before you got there.
