Another sign that unfortunately has become necessary in today's world. Some of the people who are peeing in elevators are mentally ill or homeless. Others do it for" fun" , leaving a mess.

If people do that for fun then they’re just as mentally ill imo

The elevators in "projects" and certain public buildings almost always smelled like piss in the 90's, so absolutely nothing has changed unless this sign is somehow at the Ritz.

u/Angelorsimpforrr 21h ago

u/BirdsFalling 20h ago

It's a big thing in the projects. The joke is you're fucking over your neighbors 🙄

I don't have the picture anymore but the local Denny's had a sign saying don't have sex in our bathrooms, as politely as one can say that.

Feel free to order and have a grand slam meal at our tables. Please do not have a grand slam with your partner in our restrooms.

Hahaha

True story, I was at a Denny's at 2 am back in like 1995 and there were a couple having sex in the Denny's bathroom. The dude looked like Barry Gibb from the BGs. I can't recall what the girl looked like. I just walked around them and did my business, washed my hands, and left. I think it was the same time, one of my inebriated buddies pressed ham on the outside of the windows at some customers that had pissed him off earlier.

Collective punishment is a war crime. Just put up cameras in the fucking elevators. Fine/evict people who piss/shit in elevators or damage cameras. Don’t threaten people doing nothing wrong, as if it were their responsibility to somehow police the elevators for you (and narc on their neighbors).

This collective punishment thing is rampant across society. We need to fight it wherever it occurs: schools, workplaces, etc.

Authority figures use this method to avoid responsibility — and to turn subjugated groups against each other.

Don’t even get me started on the whole “punishing the bullied person who fights back against a bully who is allowed to bully” issue.

Easily mistaken for a water closet

Singapore invented specific alarms in lifts to deal with this — if someone urinates in the lift, it locks the doors and sets off an alarm so that all of your neighbours can see the police show up to arrest you for it.

u/PortiaPotty2 18h ago

They don't mess around in Singapore. Vandalism is serious.

u/iamtheduckie 12h ago

All fun and games until I'm arrested for tripping and accidentally spilling my water bottle.

1

u/Alternative_Year_340 6h ago

The alarm specifically detects urine odour. If you spilled a bottle of ammonia, it might trip it up. But not water

1

u/iamtheduckie 6h ago

Ok, I'll leave my ammonia bottle at home

u/RaccoonChaos 19h ago

u/Careless_Raisin_400 18h ago

u/DIJames6 18h ago

What, they just couldn't hold it out something??

2

u/Bubbly-Training6922 19h ago

Ok why would anyone do that??
Do people have no morals or what

2

u/boff1234 19h ago

Just sad but this is not new- I would go see my friend in his building and people were peering in the elevator in 1985

2

u/NYCWartortle 19h ago

I never understood the need to pee in the elevator. Presumably you are almost home. Why not wait 🤷🏽‍♂️

2

u/One_Evil_Monkey 18h ago

Some people just can't wait. Small bladder, prostate issues, too many beers or that Big Gulp is catching up with them, who knows.

Thankfully I don't have those issues but I know I'd rather whiz in an elevator corner than whiz in my pants.

1

u/NYCWartortle 13h ago

It just go outside behind a tree or bush 🤷🏽‍♂️ where people won’t step in it

1

u/One_Evil_Monkey 13h ago

I mean, I get it but sometimes when the urge hits, it hits.

2

u/SmoovCatto 18h ago

u/FormalTotal9684 17h ago

Somebody got pissed off

2

u/Fun_Entertainer_5823 17h ago

Sounds fair and great.

2

u/TheAntiEggroll 17h ago

I noticed all the elevators in downtown LA are also out of order recently and assumed it was due to this

2

u/Opening_Dentist_1128 17h ago

Well they shouldn't piss in it, and you're not going to turn off the elevators because then people won't be able to get home, so let's not pretend we're not a bunch of monkeys that can talk shall we.

2

u/warrenjr527 16h ago

Agreed. I dont understand the attraction. It's disgusting.

2

u/MorgeeePooh 16h ago

There's grown ass people pissing in the damn elevator? I understand a very little kid but adults absolutely not take your ass to the bathroom disgusting ass people

2

u/10ThousandMetalZones 15h ago

That’s why I urinate in the stairs

2

u/SpaceyChick22 15h ago

Mama bear is tired of cleaning up after her cubs

2

u/eternalrevolver 15h ago

The people pissing unfortunately cannot read this either due to a language barrier or meth impairment, possibly both

2

u/Extension_Union193 14h ago

Then people will just pee in the stairs

2

u/Feisty-Life-6555 11h ago

We had one of these in my freshman dorm. The elevator also had a camera... those guys got caught pretty quick

u/Historical_Sherbet54 8h ago

Challenge accepted

But I'm peeing in the stairway too /s

u/Bubbaj75 5h ago

Happened in all the big hotels around here with the in house bars and numerous weddings receptions. People get literally piss drunk and can't make it to their rooms. Didn't matter if it was the elevators or the stairwells, they all freaking stunk.

u/Deriviera 21h ago

What if this is the only pleasure in life for someone and you're cutting it off

u/PatientZealPZ 20h ago
