More bad behavior unveiled itself at Candlestick Park on Sunday. During the Niners victorious opening game, a (presumably intoxicated) man was pinched by stadium fuzz for trying to pee on other fans. SF Examiner reports: "According to police, security reported the man was 'attempting to urinate on people in the bathroom and trying to incite fights with other fans.' It took several officers to get the man handcuffed and on the ground, but the man kicked one of the security guards in the shin, police said." more ›

We here at SFist receive up to a hundred press releases a day. Sometimes we use a few of those press releases to inform you of something we consider noteworthy. And sometimes, though very rarely, a press release is so astounding that it's best to let the missive speak for itself. Behold: more ›

The Walnut Creek city council will contemplate a plan to crackdown on drunks and bars in the downtown area. Why? A few harrowing examples, as noted in this ABC 7 report: "recently a drunk woman spit in a police officer's eye," "people sometimes pee in the outdoor planters in..really nice downtown areas," and "sometimes fights break out." more ›

Don't bother asking why we were reading the Mommy Files over on SFGate, but today's entry "Is it appropriate for little boys to pee in public?" is priceless. Take a look: more ›

Well, everyone, this is our last, pre-renovation summer of Dolores Park fun (how fenced off it will be by next summer remains uncertain), but the good folks at Dolores Park Works are claiming at least one small victory: Recreation & Parks has agreed to provide five porta-potties (and a hand-washing station!) throughout the summer to supplement the measly couple of toilets in the center of the park. The activists in this case were pushing four eight, but they say five will do. The ladies, especially, should be pleased. Let's just hope the toilet torcher doesn't feel inspired.

While known as a problem in the Panhandle or Richmond District, a few of this year's Bay to Breakers participants were notably thoughtless in South of Market, using the 400 block of Tehama Street (between Fifth and Sixth) as a toilet. Urinating in public, of course, is illegal... more ›

Since people now swill the stuff, wash their hair with it. and even use it as a disinfectant (if you reacal, Monica used Chandler's to get rid of a nasty jellyfish sting, but since they ended up marrying each other a few seasons later, that was probably golden shower-related foreplay more than anything else), it makes sense that scientists have now figured out a way to power your car with urine. Yes, one day soon, your pee might make your Prius even greener -- well, a lighter green to be exact. How so? According to , a scientist at Ohio University, Garardine Botte, has "developed a catalyst capable of extracting hydrogen from urine." Said hydrogen would then be used to start your car. more ›

Maybe because it's Christmas Eve Day so nobody at the SFPD is getting back to us. But we'll just put this out there and perhaps you, dear readers, can confirm? A tipster tells us that a "portapotty [was] set ablaze at washington btwn polk and larkin" last night. True? We hope not. Or maybe kind of. Really, this story tickles us. Because we're five. Anyway, this would make the 13th portable toilet to get torched since November. more ›

For at the seventh time since November, a port-o-potty was set on fire in San Francisco this morning, according to the fire department. This most recent portable blaze, all of them happening in or near Russian Hill, went up on Taylor Street near Union and Filbert at 12:45 a.m. this morning. No one was injured. SFPD asked to eyewitnesses to report any suspicious porta-potty activity to the police department at 415-553-0123. No matter how funny all this is. more ›

We'd belying if we said that this budding news story doesn't tickle us. It does. Very much so. See, the SF Port-o-potty Arsonist has struck again. It seems the charred remains (hee!) of a portable toilet were, yet again, found on Sunday morning, this time at the intersection of Jackson and Franklin streets in Pacific Heights. SFPD are still on the lookout for a serial port-o-potty arsonist. The toilet infernos, which happen at night and injure no one, haven't caused any serious damage. The last potty blaze hapened on December 6 on teh 1500 block of Vallejo Street. more ›
