NFT: San Francisco on the cutting edge of anti-urine technology

San Francisco city officials are implementing a new "pee-proof" paint around the city to combat the persistent problem of public urination.

Public Works crews have painted 10 walls in the city with a special UV-coated, urine-repellent paint, according to CNN affiliate KPIX.

Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru was inspired by a project in Hamburg, Germany, where walls in a night club district were coated with the liquid-repellent paint.

If an offender tries to urinate on a wall coated with the super hydrophobic paint, the urine, instead of running down the wall, will spray back at the person relieving himself, potentially hitting his clothes or shoes.


What a pisser!

that people get freaked out by humans urinating on the street or walls but have no problem with dogs doing the same thing

i can't stand the fact that dogs just piss over the sidewalk or on walls but people look at me like i'm crazy when i say it's disgusting. just doesn't make sense to me

in public places i don't want any urine or feces, human or otherwise

Let it flow. Sometimes you have no choice. Runners understand this. When I go on long distance runs once or twice a week, I can't complete the run without a pee stop. You find a bush or a wide tree, you wait for a lull in traffic, and you do your business. It's never comfortable, I hate doing it, but sometimes you literally have no other option.
i agree.

to stop drunks and other degenerates from peeing in public.

"The solution is the widespread distribution of empty pickle jars," says Anton, an authority on public urination.


Dogs are innocent creatures.

People aren't. A dog doesn't know any better and what would you like for all animals to learn how to use a toilet. Would you like us to build miniature rat toilets for every NYC apartment building
