Anyone too lazy to find a restroom who decides to relieve themselves in Philadelphia's main transit system will soon get one heck of a wake up call -- their own stream, fired back at them. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority plans to test urine-repellent paint to tackle complaints of nasty subway smells and cleanliness.

Do you think it does not already splash back when they hit half way up a concrete wall? My belief is that we get inured to the smell after a time of living here but I bet tourists fresh from the west notice the stink.
I certainly notice the smell in many areas in Dumaguete and even one location in Valencia now (right at the first gas station coming in town).
Reminds me of an old Filipino comedy movie, starring their now-deceased king of comedy Dolphy. His character is visiting the US, and a cop in some big city catches him peeing in public. "Hey, that's against the law!" says the cop. "No officer, it's against the wall!" replies Dolphy's character.
