San Francisco Experimenting With Urine-Repellant Paint: The smell of urine in some areas of San Francisco has become so strong, the city’s Public Works Agency has been testing a new pee-repellant paint, so that anyone who tries to urinate on the specially treated walls - will likely get their urine splattered right back onto them.
City officials say the urine smell in the city has become so bad, they were concerned they may be forced to rename the place “San Fran-piss-co.” Which should really come as no surprise to anyone, given that the place is also known as the “Golden Gate.”
Meanwhile, social scientists say the idea of urine splattering walls could work, but then there’s always the danger that the whole idea might backfire, if it turns out that way too many folks are actually really into that.
Not surprisingly, the plan is strongly opposed by the local “Pee Party,” who’ve adopted the slogan “splattery will get you no wear!” And, dog owners are expressing concern, pointing out that if the city is allowed to use this splattering paint on walls, could fire hydrants be next?
But city managers defend the move, saying they’re only trying to clean up smelly streets, not piss anyone off. Maybe, but as they say - “pee-back is a bitch.” Meanwhile, TripAdvisor is recommending that any heavy drinkers who plan to visit the city, should probably stick to ordering Scotchguard on the rocks.
