With this being St Patrick day weekend and the parade happing as well, there has been "pissing" going on all over the city in public areas. Isn't St Patrick day grand!!
Well now we need to install bathrooms at our L stops and make sure people know where they are. Then for those people who don't seem to like finding a bathroom a revenue opportunity for the city.
The guy almost looks like he is humping the support beam!
Howard hasn't been smelling that much, lately. Maybe we are just lucky or I am arriving at the right moments. We should keep posting the pissers. Perhaps, a few more digital cameras will keep the issue alive.
How about Moore's cameras? Bathrooms, even a portapotty is worth keeping the stench and sanitation issue off the park bench so to speak.
Sorry, but I don't think restrooms at the el stations would keep guys like this from relieving themselves very publicly.
I find it impossible to believe that this loser could not have found a restroom nearby, or could not contain himself until he did.
As a woman, I have a hard time being tolerant of this. It's well know that we women have to bear with the following conditions: a)we have smaller bladders and need to urinate more frequently. Dammit, if I can "hold it" for 6 hours of train travel, than this loser could for 16 minutes on the el. b)we have fewer public restrooms available to us, and c)because of certain well-known atonomical differences between our bodies and those of males, we are much more discommoded by a really dirty restroom. I mean, we cannot use a restroom that is really vile, because we can't stand up.
Yet most women manage to contain themselves until they reach a restroom. Almost everyone who urinates in public is male.
I hate to sound sexist, but the bald fact is that these guys do this because we tolerate much more truly cruddy public behavior out of men than we do from women. Not that women are angels, but they at least manage to confine their piggyness to the nearest ladies' room.
I mean, you know that we just tolerate too much garbage when an apt. management company advertises on the el train that "our apartments are so close to Wrigley Field you can urinate on your own lawn". I mean, guys who have six-figure salaries and surely have restrooms at the bars they frequent don't behave any better, as evidenced by the furious homeowners around Wrigley who have to tolerate monied white-collar scum relieving themselves on front lawns nearby.
the problem is, that even if people get caught for public urination, they only get an extremely tiny slap on the wrist. perhaps if the fine was a bit steeper, people would think twice. but then again, public drug markets also abound in RP, so public peeing is really minor in comparison.
and regarding bathrooms at EL stops, I can clearly imagine that they would be utterly disgusting, as are the stations themselves. Any bum, street person, drunkard and druggie would be able to go in, and the bathrooms would smells like the elevators in a heartbeat. only if the bathrooms were after the turnstiles that would it cut down on the bathrooms smelling, but i've seen plenty of bedraggled people on the trains too. the stations and trains are already filthy, and for the most part, people don't use them for a bathroom. can you imagine how disgusting the bathrooms would be? it's not like the CTA employees would give a shit about cleaning them.
and i totally agree with tnc about the unfairness women have to suffer because of our anatomies. not to mention women typically have a bigger gross out factor when it comes to filth. men, i've found, just turn a blind eye. helps that they don't have to sit down usually. many a time i'd wished i could just step into an alley, but no, i had to hold it until i could find a place that would actually let me use their restroom without buying something. there is one place in RP that has let me use their restroom w/o buying anything, twice, once even when they were closed, and I'm quite grateful to them. however, i won't mention them by name because i don't want them getting overrun with people using their restroom w/o being customers first because it's one of the only normal places in RP. wish there was more like it.
I was reciently in Toronto and the first thing that came to my mind was all the stations are clean... very clean. Nothing smelling like piss and no one peeing in the stations. Well I had to use the restroom and asked the station master were I could find the nearest restroom and he pointed me to the restroom located just next to the stairs that lowered onto the platform. I was amaized to see the restrooms very clean and no one abusing them. So with that being said, I think that the only way to solve this problem is to 1. Have restrooms in all the station houses and subways. And 2. there needs to be a souple of cops at every station 24 hours a day to make sure that people don't piss or steal or anything else criminal. And lastly, have a very heafty fine for those who just can't seem to hold there liquids in public. I think paying up to $1000 for pissing on the station is enough to keep many away from uranating on the station. I also think that the more people that can't follow the rules the more the city needs to take away freedoms that everyone else has in order to keep each other accountable for there actions. And the rules that they have taken away, after so much time that the rules are being followed then more freedoms will given back to the people of the city. However, must we parent adults all the time and are we willing to hold others accountable for their actions? Well, I think that's up to us to decide i guess.

I can't help but laugh at this... in all its pathetic glory.
Maybe he doesn't like the mural.
Too much green beer.

I am just waiting for the BH or the District 24 Wanted Poster placarded on every local "L" Stop.
Wanted for peeing in public. Reward, $50 and a $15 gift certificate to the local bar of your choice. Courtesy of The Broken Heart of Rogers Park.

I use this station almost daily... I can tell you: this is not unique to St. Patrick's day. That station always smells like piss.
It has never smelled half as bad as the station at Jarvis.

I'd lock this guy up in a heart beat which is what he needs. I HATE these fools.
I love this picture. How do you get this stuff?
Nature calls I guess, but couldn't he have found somewhere less public.
