In the hot, sticky summers of many of America's cities, the smell of urine can be all too familiar. San Francisco is peeing back at public urinators by painting its walls with UV-coated, urine-repellent paint, local TV station KPIX reports. The paint is so hydrophobic that it keeps the wall clean and sprays urine right back at offenders. “We are piloting it to see if we can discourage people from peeing at many of our hot spots,” Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru told SFGate.

When I am in an urban area, I pee in toilets, like in a restroom.
I must be old.

Good grief! Don't you see how old fashioned you are? You and all your toilet-believing conservative kind will eventually die off and we natural pee types will be the only ones left, and then we will live the way nature intended - in an open sewer of our own making!
Mother Gaia will be so proud.

seems to me that people around this area do their best to piss on the toilets, not in them

Imagine a time when people acted civilized ...
In Ancient Rome it was customary for men to urinate into the outdoor vats used by launderers to help keep togas, among other items, clean.

I wonder how much they're spending on this? I also wonder how stupid they're going to feel for wasting the money, as soon as people realise they just have to stand at an angle to the wall they're pissing on.

This applies to men, obviosly. Though I never could resist a double-dog-dare. 😈
