ok so here is the story. i was with some friends. driving home around midnight and they got a stupid idea. go to our old high school and pee on the doors. so we went to the school ( it was at midnight so i guess we were trespassing) and they peed on the doors. i know it’s stupid. i did not pee on the doors but i was with them. is there a chance of getting in trouble? i am not trolling. i know it might seem like i am but i am not.

You were in the clear until you admitted your crime on a public message board. The Pee Police will be comin’ round to chat with you shortly.

Kids today! Hey, let’s go trash the school. Let’s spray paint the hallways. Let’s set fire to wastebaskets inside.

But. peeing on the doors? Seriously?

I’m assuming it was normal pee, and since your average school door is pretty sturdy and painted in high quality weather resistant paint, I seriously doubt that any damage was done.

If that was all you guys did, it will probably go unnoticed.

You see the little icon at the top right corner of your post, being an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. Hover your cursor over it, but be careful not to click. As you hover, you’ll see the phrase “Report Post” appear.

All it takes is for one person to you report you, and then before you know it, the internet police will deal with you. If you’re young, there’s a good chance you can receive a pardon once you receive your majority, but if you are already an adult, then forget about being able to get a passport, a driver’s licence, or a marriage licence.

Yeah, we did that at our 50-th reunion. It never gets old. Most of us had to stand really close, to reach the door.

There was an episode of _The Sopranos_ where lamewit AJ was involved in a similar stunt involving urine. They did DNA tests and caught him. He was humiliated and punished. You might wish to locate that episode for some guidance.

Best quick answer: tell them you were stoned and don’t remember any of it. That usually works! 😃

If you need to ask that question then there’s a 100% chance you’re already in trouble

If you are joking, I don’t get it, and if you are sincere, I really don’t get it.

I liked the other guy’s joke about DNA in urine, not possible unless there is blood in the urine or some cell tissue.

The first time I read this, I stoppped at the first sentence to have a good laugh. I’m impressed with your group’s prostate health at the 50th reunion age.

I saw a fellow get convicted for pissing on the back wall of a city bar. Earlier that week, at a fly-in village, a judge, prosecutor and I (defence counsel) pissed on the side wall of the community centre in which court was being held (it not having a washroom). Gotta love justice sometimes.

Hope you get a good judge, **ironic**.

I did the same thing when I was around your age.

I’d finished peeing, and was shaking off, when the last foot of my junk hit the doors, breaking them open and causing considerable damage to the surrounding brickwork. Got caught and was prosecuted.

Luckily, I had a hung jury. 🙂

Urine does not have DNA.
