Pee Proofing Hamburg

If you're the type of man that enjoys dry feet and pants, you'd better think twice before emptying your bladder in Hamburg, Germany. Pee against a wall in the city's historic red light district and there's a good chance that your stream will come back to bite you thanks to a coat of nano-paint.

The St. Pauli red light district is one of Hamburg's top entertainment destinations, attracting as many as 20 million visitors a year with its mix of popular nightclubs and legal prostitution. However, this steady...um, stream of visitors has many of the district's longtime residents and merchants pissed. Outsiders routinely relieve themselves against walls (and just about any other vertical surface they can stumble into) which leaves much of the mile-long St. Pauli stretch smelling like a latrine.

They need this more in India than in other places because people pee on the walls alot.

Should've used the title they used on the signs. Or "It's Peeback time" that the lady used at the end.

That's stupid it doesn't stop them. A running full wind up slap in the dick with a baton however? That'll learn em. That'll learn em real good.

I do predict this escalating into wierd-angle peeing-contests/wars of drunks,everybody will want to try that stuff out.

Unless they developed flubber then this won't cause it to bounce back like that (unless you're a dumbass and are pissing right next to the wall, in which case you'd already be getting splashback...), it'll just slide off, so it will hardly change anything other than leave bigger puddles of piss. It's more that it'll just keep the walls cleaner in general (as the coating repels basically everything).

Curious how much it costs and how long the coating lasts.

So, the already drunk and uncooth booze bags will just pee out on the street instead.

From your handle, I'd guess you're quite experienced with multiple techniques?

More bathrooms and more security lighting would probably work better.

Well, it's Hamburg, so no doubt you'd know better than the Germans.
