SF combats the stench of urine with pee-repellant paint

(Reuters) – Don’t get into a pissing match with walls in San Francisco.

  1. My wife figured the the City would be painting this super-terrific (expensive) paint all around and then charging property owners for this “service”.

    Perhaps they should round up all the incontinent homeless men they’ve attracted to SF and install hose clamps on their urinators. It would be more cost efficient and more just.

  2. I used to think the urine smell around alleys in The Loop, Shitcago was from the bums.

    What changed my mind was that I never saw bums peeing in the alleys, but I saw quite a few dudes dressed in suits and even a lady peeing in the alleys.

  3. do these idiot honestly believe that the pissers won’t just aim a bit to one side? No waste of money here….how do such ignorant fools get elected, anyway?
