Man Fined $8,000 for Urinating Over ATM
By Park Si-soo
Staff Reporter
A man in his 30's was fined eight million won ($6,100) for answering the call of nature over an ATM, police said Friday.
The Geumjeong Police Station in Busan said it fined a 34-year-old identified as Lee on charges of urinating over an ATM, which resulted in the machine breaking down.
According to police, the intoxicated Lee staggered into a 24-hour bank containing several ATMs at 2:50 a.m. on Oct. 1 to urinate, a nasty yet familiar night scene in Korea.
``We would have ignored the case if he had not broken the machine. But we had no choice but to report it to police so as to get the eight million won needed to repair the ATM,'' said a bank official.

So...everyone who is pissed off at their bank...
You may creep in late at night and piss all over it. Just DON'T BREAK THE ATM and you're in the clear.
Finally, a decent (and seemingly legal) way to protest crappy banking policies for foreigners in Korea.
I'm going to the bank right now  |

"I'll reply to that topic in a sec. I gotta got go to the bank."

So we've found one thing adjussis can't get away with, and another thing they can: they can urinate on ATMs, but they have to be careful not to break it. |

I was arrested as a teenager in london for 'outraging public decency'. I had been receiving some light relief from a young lady inside the ATM section of a bank whilst drunk at night. I was later released without charge.
So, it's official. You can release all manner of fluids on the cash machines without fear of the law. |
