Cell Phone Required to Pee in Finland
In an effort to curb vandalism at roadside rest area, the Finish Road Administration has implemented a new locking system on toilets and showers at some of these facilities. In order to unlock the door, users must send an SMS message containing the word “OPEN” to a special number listed on the door. The hope is that any potential vandals will think twice knowing their number is on record.
Sucks if you really have to go, and don’t have your phone! Apparantly 96% of Finlanders (Finlandeans? People of Finland?) have cell phones (They are home to Nokia, after all). But, what if your battery is dead?
