Have you ever seen those notices that warns you of a camera around? I would say that Singapore has quite a lot of those. Go to a Coke machine and read around the notices pasted on the machine. It claims that this machine is equipped with some camera that’ll take your pretty picture while you vent your anger on it.
(Urine detection device signs in lifts.)
And in lifts, there’re signs that warn the public that the lift is “armed urine detection device (UDD).” Don’t ask me what the hell is that.
But then again, I’ll try guessing what’s that. I made several possible proposals on this undocumented device.
- This device is equipped with a sound detection system to detect the sounds of trickling all-natural fluids. Upon detecting that beautiful sound, it takes a half nude photo of you and post it on the internet at urine.com or something.
- Alternatively, this device is has a sound detection system to detect sounds of unzipping. Guys who need to unzip in order to let out the magical stick will need to watch out on that one. A picture will be taken and posted on urine.com too.
- Oh, what about this? Well there is a device to detect liquid flowing into the floor edges of the lift. An equipment is installed to detect traces of urea. And upon detection, your pretty picture is taken and later uploaded to urine.com.
- Maybe, there is a scent detection system! Once you urinate, it attempts to detect the scent of ketone bodies. But then, that isn’t very fair because the diabetics have a higher chance of getting caught. Oh, and of course, the image is taken and posted on urine.com.
- Well, perhaps there’s a temperature system installed. You know, those that show red patches when it’s warmer? The equipment will attempt to detect high temperatures from your pubic area and the camera will be triggered and your bottom half nudes will go to urine.com.
Yeah, that’s probably how to the urine detection device works. Pick your favorite. Apologies for today’s crap posting. And in case you’re wonder what urine.com is, well, it’s for testing drug products and the logo says “URINE LUCK.” When I saw that, I was like, “huh?,” I mean I understand “urine” but.. Luck?
Huh?
I think #3 makes the most sense - but all are funny
about URINE LUCK: maybe it’s the kind of drug company that makes drugs for people suffering from the kind of STD that makes your urine BURN. Well, it is drug TESTING, so maybe they inject some guy with it and just pray/hope it works.
“Ok, there’s the toilet, mr. Doe. Have fun and good URINE LUCK”
that’ll be my theory
by pketh (Jul 14, 2004 at 8 AM)I think UDD is just a way to scare people, and not really any type of detection device. It’s probably just a video camera and anytime you do something suspicious security will stop the elevator and ask if you were getting ready to pee in the elevator.
Urine.com looks like drug testing service that is more accurate than most tests. A lot of drug testing kits don’t work right.
by Jessica (Jul 14, 2004 at 10 AM)well … if it detects the sound of men unzipping … what about gals who wear skirts then?
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
by tak (Jul 14, 2004 at 10 AM)I’ve never seen any of the devices on any of the lifts that claim to have one…But now in the new lifts they have windows so you can see the stories passing by…so I don’t think anyone would dare to use the lifts as toilets anymore.
by Serene (Jul 14, 2004 at 6 PM)I think Jessica’s right, i.e. it’s nothing but just a simple camera or perhaps the government is using scare tactics, hahaa
by Mr. Dew (Jul 15, 2004 at 12 AM)Skirts will be detected too, tak
my lift has “windows” too, i guess no one wants to pee inside too, do it in the drain or something….
WAH. They should install that UDD in MY lifts long ago, because apparently some heartless soul over here thinks the lifts at my block are make-shift toilets. *tsk tsk*
by YingRu (Jul 15, 2004 at 12 AM)[...] y that I do claiming lots of people have it anyway. He then revealed that he read my post, singapore//urine, and laughed really hard. He seemed to have enjoyed himself too. [...]
by //beconfused » ridding//embarrassment (Jul 18, 2004 at 2 PM)6. After the urine has been detected, the lift stops and signals to the police. The arrive, open the lift and arrest you

[...] This isn’t dumb. This made perfect sense! I blogged about how Urine Detection Device probably works. [...]
by dumb//three | //beconfused (Dec 24, 2007 at 4 AM)Yup… I saw one elevator claim to be equipped with Urine Detection Device. Located in Telok Blangah are.

Unable to find any kind of sensor inside the elevator… but the signage make it quite convincing
