Shopkeeper Electrifies Pavement To Deter People Urinating

by Earl Morningstarr

A disgruntled shopkeeper in Ireland has electrified the footpath outside his property to prevent or punish drunken revelers from pissing and shitting on his doorstep.

John O’Connor owns Custy’s Traditional Music Shop in Ennis, Co Clare and every Monday morning when he goes to open up his shop he’s greeted by puddles of urine and piles of human faeces.

“I’m greeted every Monday morning with pools of their urine, mounds of their faeces” O’Connor told the Daily Mail.

The angry trader has spent thousands of pounds installing CCTV to try and protect his property from the foul vandalism but to no avail, so in a final attempt to try and deter the defecators O’Connor has built an electrical control box which exposes live wires on the pavement outside his shop where the dirty drunks do their pissing.

“You can see the wires, it’s pretty obvious what’s there. There are signs everywhere.” He said.

“Last Monday morning the place was destroyed. Urine had seeped into the door jamb. I was greeted by a flood of urine inside on the carpet and lino, I had to clean it up for about an hour.”

“I just said, look I’ve been doing this for years. I’ve tolerated it but you come to a certain stage that when you’re greeted with this you just say enough is enough. These people have to be confronted. There has to be consequences as to what you do.”
