A resident who lives above the swank new NoLita restaurant Delicatessen has gotten so sick of the noise coming from the lounge below that they have begun urinating on its glass roof. Residents who live above the Lafayette Street nightspot that opened in July have filed numerous complaints that the glass roof does not do a good enough job of containing noise. According tot he NY Post though, only one has decided to fight back with nightly golden showers. The Post says that whoever is peeing on the roof is unidentified, yet they have resident Mickey Campbell quoted as calling Delicatessen patrons "f---ing wankers" and "yuppies, yuppies, yuppies" and then have him pose in a yellow shirt next to the sign another resident put up asking the guilty party to stop. He then says, "I didn't do it. But I think it's damn funny, whoever did do it."
