Comment on ANTI PEE PAINT

  You can’t build public toilets every 50m and make sure it stays clean. Anything further than 50m and a drunk person will just piss to the next wall/bush/corner as they can’t be bothered with finding a proper restroom in many cases. Its not as simple as you make it out to be.

    Great, now keep going down the questions I posed. I didn’t say anything about building toilets.

    The point I’m making is that this paint won’t do a thing except cost money.

  If there was a toilet right there, do you think they would still choose the wall?

  Have you ever been around drunk tourists before? The answer is yes

    You have to keep going down the questions, don’t just stop at the first.

      No, everyone is 12 now. You have to expect people to believe whatever’s convenient for them and argue in bad faith, until each individual proves otherwise

    10 drunk tourist that piss on your wall or 40 people (sober and not) that piss on your wall?

  They have walked out of a club with a toilet five minutes ago. How frequently do you want there to be toilets?

    Oh, you mean the gross, overcrowded toilet that is typical of clubs? Weird that they didn’t want to use that. I wonder why that could be?

      No, just a regular toilet in a public establishment. I don’t know anyone who’s thinking “this toilet is gross, so I’ll piss in the fucking street”. I guarantee you noone is wiping down the street with anti bacterial spray.

      Toilets can get busy, yet queuing for one is very normal. Have you noticed that no-one sees the queue and goes on the corner?

      That’s because this is caused by drunk people failing to plan ahead and then when caught short not having any inhibitions.

      Guys really don’t care, less so the more they drink. Wall is more convenient than a toilet around the block whether it’s sparkling or not.

    Keep going down the list of questions, I’ve already accounted for other reasons why this is a dumb idea

      When they piss on the piss-splashing paint, it splashes them with piss, so they stop. I believe the point is that it sprays back at all angles.

      I’m not claiming it’s a magic bullet, but I am claiming that if you think this is about homeless people you are not thinking about drunk people and tourists, who are the genuine target.

        I’m not claiming it’s about homeless people, it just seems like a waste of money to me, and it fails to address the issue of people not having a place to piss.

        Just a logistical question about how this works , does the pee reflect equally in a hemisphere normal to the surface, or does it reflect off the wall like a normal reflection.

        If it is option 1, how does that work physically? Is the surface multi-faceted? Even with a hydrophobic surface I would still expect a normal reflection.

        I don’t really see what’s so bad about peeing outdoors so long as it regularly rains, and you’re not peeing in a way that will affect others.
