Is this a middle of the night thing, or are we talking about people pissing on the side of buildings in broad daylight?

I also saw some signs on my trip to India this summer saying things like (in Hindi) “Look! A donkey is peeing!”

Elsa is right, you see those anti-pee torii all over Japan. I think for most drunken piss bandits it’s more of a superstitious aversion than a religious taboo. I found some examples in a Google image search and folded it into a tiny URL link here:

Why don’ the christians just urinate on the face, and hindus urinate on the cross? And what about jews?? Maybe if they painted a bowl of spaghetti I would consider keeping the spot holy.

They do that here in Japan too. Around bars, apartment buildings, and alleys there are miniature Shinto toori gates. Shinto is more of a cultural thing than an earnest belief system for most Japanese, though, so no one seems to think anything of it.
