There was no curiosity involved with it when I was a kid. We had a pretty good understanding of what should happen. We just had to dare the right person for verification.
The Germans recently invented some paint that, when pissed on, bounces the p*ss back on the person's feet. I bet googling "German pee paint" would produce something useful.

I was going to reply to the LAND REFORM thread but I did not want people going off on me for being off topic so I started this one:
People reform is what is needed. People here will cross the street to pee on their neighbor's fence or throw trash across the street so its in front of their neighbors house, but the neighbor will do the same thing right back and both will think "that's the other guy's mess, I'm not cleaning it up"
I called out one of my neighbors for this early on. I found fresh pee on my gate back when the subdivision was new so the only other people on my street lived across from me. So I walked across the street and loudly, to my gf while standing under the neighbor's open window, "I wonder who is peeing on my gate when the only ones here are you and me and these neighbors? Is it the polite thing to do in Philippine culture to pee on your neighbor's fence?"
I haven't caught anyone peeing on it since then.

Best AnswerI wonder if the would continue 'paying their water bill' on the neighbor's wall if he had a mural of Mother Mary... painted on it. What has priority, having to pee on his wall or respecting their faith. hmmmmDave_Hounddriver said: ↑Guilty admission coming: They do it because it is the way they have always done it. There have been times when I used to sit at a sari sari store with beer drinking tables in front and I got a little drunk. I needed to pee. I watched what the others do. They got up, walked across the street and pissed on the neighbor's wall. So when I needed to pee I did what everyone else was doing.
So until people who set examples change (and I mean respected filipino society leaders) then the people themselves ain't gonna change. What was needed, at a MINIMUM, was an enforced law that the guy who was selling beer have a fence on his OWN yard that is designated "pee here, on MY property". But good luck with that.Click to expand...

Whilst very funny, it would alter his premises Status. Prices up and back to square one. I just asked my Local sori owner and he tells me that he is not even supposed to have any tables outside ( he doesn't but will give you a stool to sit on if you ask nicely) as people are not supposed to drink on his premises. He would need a Licence NAH! I think the wall opposite stands where it is for a Reason

Perhaps, but then again....who do they need to reform for? Do pigs complain when they are rolling around in their own sh*t? If Filipinos/Asians are enjoying rolling around in their own "culture" then who are we to tell them not to? We (Westerners) enjoy rolling around in our own "culture" just as much as they do and, sometimes, even demand it be imported to the Philippines.Dave_Hounddriver said: ↑People reform is what is needed.Click to expand...
Personally, I get a bit tired of tiptoeing around the stink nuggets after about a year or two and need to take a break in another country before I go crazy.
