As Indians this may not come to us as a big shocker, after all we are quiet used to signs threatening and pleading people not to pee in public places. But, hey, we aren’t the only country to have people with low civic sense! In fact, they are all over the world.

So, this one hotel owner in the Czech Republic is so fed up of people urinating outside his building - he’s put a sign warning offenders he’d video them in the act and then post the footage on YouTube.

A small city in Czech Republic located along their Austrian border, Mikulov is famed for its wine-tasting tours. So, a drunken man caught pants down doing his business in a public place isn’t a rare sight there. However, the locals of the place aren’t tolerant to such insolent behaviour, doesn’t matter if you’re an oenophile or a drunken tourist.

Since, there have been numerous occasions when visitors were caught short on the doorsteps of the three-star Hotel Marcinčák, the owner, Petr Marcinčák was compelled to erect this funny yet accentuating sign.

The picture of the sign was first spotted via Twitter on 19th August by Marek Sotak, a London based entrepreneur. After that the post received over 6000 retweets. Sotak, who made the picture viral online, adds that the initiative wasn’t an official policy, but he was sure that the hotel owner would be happy to carry out the threat. Till now no videos of such nature have been seen on YouTube. Hopefully, people did take the threat seriously.
