To be sickened by a couple who piles on the PDA every time one of them gets up to go to the toilet?

I’m currently in a restaurant, and there’s a couple at a nearby table who are going overboard with the PDA. Every time one of them gets up to go to the toilet, they kiss, hug, and basically act like they won’t see each other again for years! It’s making the atmosphere uncomfortable, and I feel like I can’t enjoy my meal without being subjected to it.

AIBU to think this level of PDA is just too much in a public place?

How many times are they going to the toilet during one meal for this to be an issue?

Well, the first time; they both got up together to go to the toilet. They both stood up, and kissed for like 2 mins, so I thought one of them was leaving or something. They vanished for 5 mins, after the big kiss, so I thought they had gone but they went to the toilet.

10 mins later, the lady got up and went to his side kissed is face off for 5 mins, went to the toilet and came back. Then shortly after, the guy went to her side kissed her face off and went to the toilet and came back!

So 3 times so far in like half an hour!

Maybe one of them has diarrhoea extremis fatalis and it may well be the last time they see each other?

Why do you keep looking? Unless you are dining alone, the person opposite should , at some points, hold your attention enough that this is an irrelevance.

I am dining alone, which might explain why I’ve noticed it more. But even then, it’s hard not to see when it’s happening right in front of my line of sight every time one of them moves. I get that a bit of affection is normal, but the intensity of it each time just seems excessive in a restaurant setting.
