Q&A: Urinate in his lobby at your peril
(Watch the video here.)
On Sunday, Aug. 9, around 12:20 a.m., a man walked into a brightly lit lobby on Queen Street West near Dufferin, unzipped his pants and urinated in full view of a closed-circuit camera. Alex Hess, the building manager, found the mess when he arrived home a few moments later. He wasted no time getting even. After pouring bleach on the urine, he marched upstairs to his apartment and reviewed the security footage. He marched back out with posters of the man with the title, “SMALL PENIS ALERT.” “This man has been peeing in our building for years,” the poster reads. “Do you recognize him, or his small penis?” Mr. Hess, 26, has also uploaded the footage to YouTube, where it has been viewed nearly 5,000 times in less than a week. He chatted with reporter Mary Vallis about his unique revenge:Q: When did this man start urinating in your lobby?
A: I don’t know if it’s the same guy. Usually, it’s hard to see the faces. People have been peeing there for years. The reason this one deserves the poster is because they usually come up and pee in the corner and leave. It still sucks, because it’s there, and it smells. But this guy, he comes and he just pees facing the street, all over the place. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone do that.
Q: What’s the attraction for people?
A: There’s all sorts of relatively low-end bars — cheap beers and lots of people. Maybe there’s a lineup at the washrooms or the washrooms are gross. This entranceway is isolated from the street. Bright lights have deterred a lot of it. One night, we were replacing our lights. We had the power shut off, so it was dark, and three people peed in the course of an hour.
