Why is it that in big cities, downtown parking lot elevators inevitably reek of urine?

I'm not sure, but I think it's the same principle that makes you realize the toilet paper roll in your public restroom stall is empty only after you've sat down and passed the point of no return.

I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count.

Oh yeah.

I'm a huge Toriphile.

I think it's because of the urine.

Yeah, I guess what I am really wondering is why they pick the elevator. I mean, there's plenty of street cubby holes, trees, corners... lots of places to pee privately in public. On an elevator, there's always the possibility that someone will get in right as you get out. I just don't see the Elevator Peeing Motivation.

Ah, the inner workings of curious minds in a flurry.
