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!

1. from what has been told to me by an Italian resident, these are banned by Law in Italy so some people might start a campaign to ban this here also :D

2. some who have seen this say that it is effective (throws it back) only when person aims the wall with a perpendicular stream. if a person hits the wall at 45 degree angle then it will throw it away from the person.

it seems people have already found some solution for it :D
