The point is that men were pissing on the ground or in the planters, also in full view of tourists.
I had a chance last year to try an outdoor uritrottoir in that area when the conventional bathrooms were occupied. When I got past my self-consciousness, it felt unexpectedly civilized.

OK, I have seen homeless guys do that here in the US, they typically unzip while digging through a trash can for bottles, an just pee onto the side of trash can (the public ones housed in a metal cage are perfect for this technique.)

Doesn’t ‘FUD’ also mean fear, uncertainty and doubt?

If I were three sheets to the wind and desperate for a slash then I’d use one, otherwise I think I would be too self-conscious.

Don’t know if I’m disgusted or impressed by his techniques.
The tourists on those boats are really pissoired off.

Yeah, something to go with the inevitable corrosion from mis-aimed members.
