myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships3 months ago

Recently I was in a convience store and the couple in front of me couldn't seem to keep their hands off of each other and for some reason it appeared that they had magnets on their faces because their lips kept touching...lol. Me, I'm more of the kind of person that feels like this type of what I call extreme physical contact should be left in the privacy of your home. I mean don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with holding hands or an occasional peck in public. But when you are in a store for 5 minutes and you have touched your partner 20 times and french kissed them 10 times, that is just a bit overboard in my opinion and I find it quite annoying. I feel like saying "get a room or go home"!

Does this bother you? Or is it just a pet peeve of mine?

happy I think it's cute when a couple hold hands or the man opens the door for the woman and fusses over here. I think its gross to be all over each other like that making out and have everyone watching you. Gee get a room!


myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

My sentiments exactly!

I totally agree with you. It is a little gross in my opinion. There is no need to go overboard in public. To me it's just being a showoff. You can love someone intimately in more appropriate places like your own home, a hotel room etc. But to have to be all over one another in public is just wrong! I agree that they should get a room.

At times it is uncomfortable to have such people in public. I think there is better place to share their love (Park, Beach, Room, House etc.,)

Not necessary that you should others that you are the perfect pair....


myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

Just a little bit of restraint please! Better yet make love first and then go to the store...lol

While i dont mind people showing affection in public, it does sort of bother me when they go overboard.
I dont think there's anything wrong with couples holding hands and kissing, it's only when they start fondling that i think they should take it somewhere more private.


myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

Its only the overboard cases that bother me. I just think that there is a time and place for everything. And I just don't think that the counter at the convience store is the place to make out! Pay for your stuff and get out...

I feel the same way you do. It is disturbing and everyone doesn't want to see that. Imagine the influence it has on young kids, especially pre-teens who may look up to that kind of behavior thinking it is cool. Public display is rude. I think if people started saying something to these individuals, they may rethink the matter. And then again maybe not. Worth a try!!


myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

Glad to hear that I am not the only one that thinks there is a time and place for everything. My kid was with me at the time and he looked at me like "is this supposed to be happening?"


myLot reputation of 96/100. kareng (3091)   ranked 2,569 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

That would have been a good opening to tell him no, these people are a little strange (said in a LOUD) voice and most people do not behave like this in public. It is rude and uncalled for. grinn

w00tb]Me too, i don't like watching couples doing too much public display of affection.
Love is so sweet. Sometimes people don't care what other's are saying. Or it's just that lovers have created their own world. raspThe world that the outsiders doesn't exist.
That's why the people who see them and who are disgusted by their display of too much affection, is like a bird to them. Just an audience of no relevance. Sometimes, if i see couples like them. I just ignore them.

No, I am with you on that one because you don't want to see a couple making love in line while your waiting to pay for you groceries. There's a time and place for everything.

Sounds like you had an encounter with industrial strength tacky.

I faced that when I went to junior high and high school, as the kids couldn't get rooms or move out, so they used the halls as make out central. It got so bad that schools started placing 'no contact' rules in the books.


myLot reputation of 85/100. relundad (1047)   ranked 165 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

I guess they kept doing it as adults! That was probably them at my neighborhood convience store...lol

 
8. myLot reputation of 94/100. bieke81 (598)   ranked 3,530 out of 18,108 in relationships   3 months ago

Maybe they are just starting out. I know when my husband and I were just together I couldn't leave him alone either. Nowadays I'm lucky to get a kiss once in a while, at home, when the kids are sleeping lol. It wears off, you know, you need to enjoy it as long as it lasts, I know I did. And sometimes I would like to go back to those days.

Have a nice day thumbup


sweethopia (59)   ranked 11,911 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

My partner and I were the same way. We have been together for 12 years. When the relationship was just starting we were all over each other ALL the time. I remember one time we were at a mall and we had just gotten back together after not being with each other for a couple of weeks and we were just kissing on the escalators and stuff and people looked at us funny. But I was young then so...
...now we don't kiss or hug in public. Maybe just a peck on the cheek:)


myLot reputation of 94/100. bieke81 (598)   ranked 3,530 out of 18,108 in relationships  3 months ago

You see, you were like that too, when you were younger, so let the kids have their fun. They'll be all grown up in a short time, so let them have their fun now wink

Have a nice day thumbup

 
9. myLot reputation of 38/100. jenalforque (110)   ranked 5,895 out of 18,108 in relationships   3 months ago

I agree. Maybe they love each other so much that they can't help to show affection for each other whether public or private.There's a proper place for everything.

 
10. myLot reputation of 77/100. littlepinoy (322)   ranked 6,419 out of 18,108 in relationships   3 months ago

It could feel a little awkward for me. They're in front of you and you have no way of looking somewhere else. If you continue looking forward, you can see them and people might think you're turned on with the scene. If you look around to avoid the scene, people will think you're disgusted.

I just wish they have the courtesy to do it in the privacy of their homes or at least, not directly in front of someone else.
