Residents In Germany Cover Walls With Superhydrophobic Substance That Splashes Pee Back On Public Urinators
Tired of the drunken revelers who use their streets as one big public urinal, the residents of St. Pauli, the party quarter of the German city of Hamburg, have decided to fight back in a novel way. A St. Pauli community organization coated numerous walls throughout the quarter in superhydrophobic coatings that cause urine to splash back at urinators, making public urination a far more uncomfortable and complicated endeavor!
Some of the walls treated with the substance have signs labeling them, but others haven’t been labeled, so, as expected, your best bet in St. Pauli (if you’re prone to public urination) is to actually seek out a proper bathroom!
The whole campaign has a silly air to it, but it seems like it might actually work. As one St. Pauli resident warns in the campaign’s video, “it’s peeback time.”

In stead of fighting against people who are obviously in need to pee, just put a few free public toilets around.

Seems you don't live in the same world as me. Here people pee at short distance from public toilets and litter in the vicinity of trashes.

Public peeing is a basic thing. Any potentially affected wall (worldwide) should be painted.

Why do men have to pee on things any way ? Why not just pee down a drain? Great idea!!

Oh great idea, even more out in the open, lol. He'd get nicked for exposing himself in public. Could you imagine a woman squatting over one?
