couples walking through shops holding hands

[DosDuchas]

Has anyone ever BARGED through the barrier they create and shouted STOP HOLDING HANDS FGS YOU ANNOYING PEOPLE?
( or perhaps something snappier?)

marks and spencer today - it was like british bloody bulldog, especially when the man LEADS the woman through the shops, swerving past racks of clothes, creating a four foot wide barrier

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I never have but often want to. Just gtfo of my way, saddos.


Except for elderly couples who I think look adorable when they hold hands.

[PattiODoors]

Wasn't me. I was holding little 'uns hand today (put knee through only decent pair of school trews on Friday. FGS child couldn't you have wrecked the scabby ones grrr)

[Bair]

The leading thing is weird and takes up stupid space.

But I love people holding hands. It's sweet and I do it all the time with DH

[fiveacres]

I am in the annoying camp. Especially when walking down the street.

[ProbablyMe]

I'm a saddo and proud

[DosDuchas]

there should be clearly indicated areas where hand holding is permitted.

if you HAVE to do it.

It makes me all annoyed. I think ' how much longer do I do this beofre I can break off"

[manaboutthemaison]

I often hold Mrs masons had in shops, also in parks , on beaches , in town etc …. You get uptight over it in M&S cos it may hold you up for a few seconds ??

[Callaird]

I hate it too but just because it makes me realise how much I miss it! Same as kissing in public places - please don't, it makes me sad!!

[noddyholder]

yes old people exempt from pda ridicule- look

[fiveacres]

It's when you have to step OFF the pavement onto the road because of two people who can't be parted I get annoyed.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I don't think there's anything wrong with holding hands per se. I think there's a lot wrong with people being rude enough to think their lovely shows of coupled up-ness are somehow more important than every single other person they come into contact with and are getting in the way of.

[DosDuchas]

I was dodging and ducking behind this couple today. I thought 'oh fgs i am pretty sure she can get to the escalator all on her own.'

[noddyholder]

ah thats wrong pic damn

[DosDuchas]

added to this men who STEER you - by your shoulder or waist

OOH I HATE THAT TOO turns on hate everything button

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

A couple were strolling towards the escalator at snails pace doing it today and I thought there's no fucking way I'm staying behind this! I said excuse me and they moved aside instead of disconnecting. I'm an unromantic cow

[tilliebob]

We always hold hands - if it pisses people off, even better wtf

[ThatBloodyWoman]

I've been married WAY too long to hold hands.
When I see other people doing it I wonder how I became so bitter and twisted.

[MrsEvadneCake]

I'm a hand holder and proud!! I steer him though. Feel free to jump over our hands through the gap...although we will let go to allow traffic to pass.

[DosDuchas]

i LOVE YOU GlitzAndGigglesx

[Katedotness1963]

Married 30 years and we hold hands when we're walking. Feel free to walk round us!

[paramedicswift]

Don't move out of their way. Just look distracted or look at your phone. Make them walk around you.

[DosDuchas]

for me its nothing to do with the affection thing - I am naturally NOT a hand holder, and thats just me - its the OBSTACLE as they drift about


NB these kind of couples will also shop for clothes for her together and have a shared email address' we have nothing to hide' ( no but I BLOODY MIGHT HAVE)

[CatherineOfAbdomen]

I hate it too.
My dh attempted to do it a few weeks ago, I hissed " For God's sake man we are in Sainsbury's, get off!"

[DosDuchas]

i know of a couple who run holding hands

One of them is on their THIRD marriage. We giggle that its to stop the current spouse running off

[Mrsjayy]

Its the teenagers that do that vice hold thing that annoys me they wander about arm ovet shoulder and take upall the space and god help you if you walk in their path they WILL mow you down
