When I first read this thread yesterday, I wondered if the OP was protesting too much. Then, when I saw that 8 ounces were required, I thought the OP was justified in complaining about the MSC.
A standard urine specimen cup in the U.S. is usually 3 oz. to 4 oz. (I should know. I have medical issues and have had to provide urine samples frequently, for years.) I've never had to provide a urine sample for a drug test, though, and would have no idea (without doing research or instructions from the MSC or technician) that I would have to provide 8 oz of urine. Except for when I had to collect and provide all my urine from a 24-hour period, I have never been required to fill more than one standard urine specimen cup. As a matter of fact, just 2 oz. of a urine sample is usually enough for most urine tests.
Given the normal range of bladder capacity in an adult human, 8 oz. of urine at one sitting is a lot. (For a normal, healthy adult, the lower end of the range is about 10 oz.)
The only thing that raised my eyebrows was when the OP wrote: "I would not have peed B4 I arrived and I would have consumed plenty of fluids prior to voiding." IMO, this was something a reasonable adult who knew they were about to have to provide a urine sample would know to do, even without knowing 8 ounces of urine would be required.
