Caught: Public Urinator
Just as we were shutting down our computer at work circa 5:03, we turned around to find a (non-homeless appearing) man urinating behind a vehicle parked at the Olivet University Student Union on Lapu Lapu. Nice. We had no idea that seemingly "normal," well-dressed men feel that it is appropriate to pee in public à la Adam Sandler in Big Daddy. For shame, public urinator! We know this part of SOMA isn't exactly Seacliff, but we are still entitled to some pee-free walls. Aren't we?

Yeah, I saw the same thing in soma a while back. Guy was totally normal looking. And it wasn't even an alley. It was the wall of an office building right in plain view!
When I tried to take a picture of him for shaming purposes, he got really pissed off (no pun intended) and threatened a beat down. Luckily, MUNI arrived just in time (for once) and whisked me to safety.
We poor folk have to mark our territory somehow in this city. What, with the unlikelihood of ever buying our own backyard to piss in.
Sincerely,
Candid cock
"...we are still entitled to some pee-free walls. Aren't we?"
No.
It's a city. get used to living in one.
I saw a guy whip it on a side street near Mitchell's ice cream. It wasn't against a wall, it was just out in the open on the sidewalk.
First wildcat limos, now peeing. What's next, "no panhandling?"
I just moved to SOMA from the Haight and couldn't help but notice how much more uriney it smells.
Maybe it's time for S.F. to install public urinals?
These fancy ones would be great for the bar areas after hours.
rageahol - LOL, I lived the first 22 years of my life in Manhattan, the citiest of all cities. Maybe it's just the UES in me? No one pees in public on Gossip Girl.
send the picture to olivet. i bet he works for goes there. get a real camera to catch him next time too.
Did anyone call Supervisor Daly to right this terrible injustice? Oh, wait. He's the one that voted to let people pee and poop in public...
At least unlike the homeless, this guy probably pays some taxes, and, also, has an innate sense of environmental justice, since as far as I can tell from the crappiness of the picture, he's peeing on what appears to be a gas-guzzling SUV instead of a Prius.
Speak truth to power!
Now in addition to the herion addicts, broken glass, and sidewalk sleepers, we've got urinators! Could it get any worse? Perhaps we should put up a webcam so that everyone can check up on the sketchiness that is our little enclave. Gotta love working on Harrison:)

Oh yeah ... I've seen this several times. The sad thing is that San Francisco is pretty generous with free public toilets (unlike New York City - I went in to the "Welcome Center" of NYU a few months ago to ask if I could use their bathroom, and they got all up in arms and refused - and there's another reason I despise private schools, even the "Welcome Center" is unfriendly if you're not paying them to be welcoming. Screw NYU).
Anyway... back to San Francisco... I was walking along the Embarcadero pedestrian promenade (I just like the way that sounds) towards the Fireboat Station near Harrison Street, and a young man and woman were standing in front of the public toilet there - the public toilet apparently wasn't working as the young man decided to whip it out in public and piss on the door of the public toilet with his girlfriend smiling and thinking it was funny - this is on a Sunday at 4:30 p.m. I'm not the type to not call folks out on bullshit - so when I walked near them, I said "You know, the restaurant across the street (Gordon Biersch) probably has a toilet you could have used." His girlfriend went into serious mode, saying "That's what I told him." The guy's reaction, with his thing in his hand still, was "Do you have a problem?" in that idiot frat boy "You want to fight?" type tone of voice. I just kept walking and didn't look back ... I wished I had a camera though, I totally would have been snapping pictures.
WE should encourage more men to whip it out to pee, to get fotos taken especially if they have a pretty or unusual wanger e.g. especially one with a long juicy foreskin.
while they are not as unusual as they were in the fifty's when it was chop chop away, now they are starting to turn up all over the place.
Here's my favorite:

@rageahol -
Disclaimer - I'm assuming you're serious and not trolling.
What is with this "It's a city" excuse for any bad behavior? You hear this when people complain about loud neighbors, and now "It's a city" makes it OK to urinate in public? WTF?
Yeah, I know it's a city, but how does that provide carte blanche for any jackoff to do anything he wants? The fact that it's a city means that we have a lot more people living in much closer proximity, ergo the need to be a little more mindful of those around us.
Peeing off your porch at a farmhouse in Iowa 3 miles from the closest neighbor = OK.
Peeing on my car because "it's a city" = not OK.
Oh Deborah.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. He's not hurting anybody, so don't be jealous that he's plumbed in such a way as to make it convenient.
The arguement that it's okay because we live in a city is flawed. If this were the country and that was a tree and not a wall, it would be entirely appropriate. This is just a different kind of nature pee.
I argue that the city is encroaching on man's traditional range and we are running out of appropriate places to pee.
I'm not jealous abut the other guy 's plumbing design,as I'm the one with the hood, and I guess it was cliped it away for him when he was a kid. I always get stares for having the long and floppy hat
You can actually control flow better if you have to blast a major pee, because the FS can be closed to regulate the stream.
As the readers of SFIST can clearly see..........people who are homeless are not the ones pissing everywhere. Maybe some of the readers should go to North Beach around 2:30 in the morning and see the drunkerds exit the bars and "whip it out".
I don't think think those people are homeless?
What? No one blaming Chris Daly for this persons actions? Maybe when only what are seemingly homeless people do it then people want to put it off on CD.
Oh, pshaw. This is nothing. I just went out to the alley behing my work to smoke and someone was taking a dump between two cars. One homeless chick. No cup.
But we see that all the time. Does it make it right? No. Is it gross? Totally. Do I wish I had my camera? For sure.
But. If i was in a similar situation and HAD to pee or poop--like emergency pee or poop--and there was no where to go, would I have done it? Depends what I was wearing, I suppose. If they are my good jeans, no way am I going to poop in them!
I just wish the crappers would use a Learning Annex Course Schedule or something to pick it up and toss it in a trash can... blah
Angrybat, I echo your sentiments entirely. I hear this "it's a city" line a lot to explain absolutely dickheaded behavior.
Like you're allowed to check civility at the bay bridge. Hmmm, actually, sometimes it seems you're REQUIRED to.
the really criminal for cut the foreskin of a strapped down baby? They get spread, as the money sensitive of his dick is get snipped to burn in the ash can. Pain not an issue, as they kids scream and vomit
I prefer not being cut. \it's looser, everyone notices it's fun to play with, and if you like to get funky....
\\you cut guys, sorry
Sure, it's Chris' fault. Why not?
Actually it's all of our leaders' fault, since they don't bother to enforce rules against this sort of thing. SFPD who won't write a ticket and Kamala who won't prosecute it.
A good tip: if you ever have to use the facilities for bodily waste removal, use one of the many downtown four- to five-star hotels. they don't require a keycard and are typically very nice.
