The UA Urinator

Sienna Collins-Robinson

Water or worse?

Imagine your walking along our scenic campus. Maybe you  trip over a crack in the sidewalk and face plant into the ground, you touch and smell a flower, your foot gets soaked into a puddle. What if I told you that all those spots could all be doused in pee, watermarked by the UA urinator. It all started with a trend on Tiktok where the user, “@the.uakronpisser” sneaks in the cover of dark, peeing all over  random things,objects, and places  on our campus university. 

Why?

 I suspect they do this for various reasons:

• For clout: many people see  the videos

• For laughs and giggles: someone doing this for fun is hilarious (subjective)

• Or for their hatred for the campus: there are many reasons to hate UA. 

All I know,  if you look around  you in your crowded campus, whether it's the street, classroom, or library the UA Urinater could be right beside you. 

What is being done?

As of now, the University of Akron has not made an official announcement. They assume that the problem will stay small. But, I suspect attention will grow as the UA pisser hits more and more of our campus. It already inspired some ticktok accounts to look for him and post about him.  

Where will he strike next? 

The UA urinater has no pattern. Be cautious. Look before walk into a crack, look before you touch flowers and look before you step into the UA pisser’s next crime scene.
