Urine Trouble - Don't Try Peeing Here!

Here's another humorous but true article out of Germany.  A wall that pees back at the would be urinators.  Here's the article from Time magazine.



A special kind of paint bounces the liquid back toward its source

Public urinators in the St. Pauli neighborhood of Hamburg are in for a rude awakening: a community group has applied a special water-repellant paint to the walls of certain buildings that sprays liquid back in the direction it came from.
The nightclub/red-light district has been plagued by night time revelers relieving themselves on walls, and residents decided that this solution would not only protect their buildings but also send the message loud and clear that this behavior was unacceptable. To give potential offenders a fair warning, Reuters reports the group has put up signs that read “Do not pee here! We pee back!”
The paint, which has previously been used on ships, is expensive — a 6 square meter area costs 500 euros to paint — but the organizer of the group behind the initiative says the community is saving money on cleaning.
