To be embarrassed by two teenage girls snogging today

[jandymaccomesback]

I was at a children's theme park in a queue for a ride and a little way in front of me were two teenage girls who were all over each other. I felt really uncomfortable. I think I would have felt uncomfortable if it had been a boy and a girl when there were so many young children about, but WIBU?

Public snogging is ice, regardless of age or gender. But I bet you wouldn't have posted if it had been a boy and a girl. I spy homophobia.

Ick- not ice.

surely, if they're teens, upsetting old fogies in their twenty's and beyond will be part of the point?

Would you object less, or more, if it was a pair of pensioners?

I suspect the op would have been fine, so long as the pensioners were a man and a woman!

I was in a mixed group in a pub and had a couple next to me play tonsil hockey. Obvious tonsil hockey. I could count papilla on tongues .

My reaction would have been the same regardless of age sex, whatever... but they were both women and I can't help but think it was done confrontationally and to shock.

I like to see people kiss even if its a bit slobbery - I used to spent hours literally hours kissing my boyfriend was 17/18. I just had to look at him and I wanted to kiss him [shrug]. When I see kids doing it now, it reminds me of how in love with him I was and 20 years later I still quite like him and should probably spend a bit more time kissing him!

When I was a teen I thought snogging in public was what adults did, since this is what they do in films etc. It is inappropriate though' maybe they did not realise?

Public displays of affection are one of my pet-hates so YANBU. I don't care if the offending couple is gay or straight, young or old, it's vulgar and usually attention-seeking and therefore gets on my nerves.

DH and I are pretty hands-off when we're out and about so I prefer it when other couples respect public space in the same way [prim disapproval emoticon]...

My Aunt married for the first time ten months before my wedding day.

They were clearly still in the newly wed phase because they kissed through the ceremony, recited vows to each other as we said ours, gazed into each others eyes, held hands, stroked each other in various but thankfully non-rude places, called each other by very sicky nicknames and then snogged throughout the afternoon meal - they didn't eat any of it until the pudding course, when they fed each other little bites and giggled a lot. The snogging continued into the evening and there was a short time when they vanished to god knows where to do god knows what.

My Aunt would have been about forty six when I got married, her husband was (and obviously still is) my age, which was 26 at the time. So not teenagers. I can only assume it was the newly wedded bliss that caused all that. Some of my guests still talk about it now, eleven years later, almost to the day. Our anniversary is tomorrow.

PDA's can be a bit embarrassing OP but I don't think it matters really how old or what sex either of the couple are.

Comma - yes, I have a relative who's all loved up with new(ish) man. She's 58 and he must be around 50 as well, so well beyond the teenage years. Seeing them all snoggy in public makes me doubly determined not to let my dh so much as look at me askance in front of anyone.

Hand-holding and the odd wink/affectionate glance is fine, but anything else is icky IMO, regardless of age or gender of the participants.

C'mon seriously?? Would you have even paid any heed if it had been a mixed sex couple? Shock horror.. Teens snogging.. Must post on MN?

I don't mind kissing but I hate it if they make slurpy noises. Also detest people touching each others arses. I had to change carriages once because this couple were making me feel sick.

a useful tip if you want a snog is to take DP to the railway station and stand by the station gate.

People will assume one of you is going for six months to Antartica or Leeds or somewhere.

This is an old thread, but for those who thought I was only embarrassed because it was two girls, there was a heterosexual couple doing exactly the same in the Bank yesterday and I felt just as embarrassed, nay even nauseated, especially when she started groping his bum!

exactky fareleyknuts

would be very suprised if someone posted same on a mixed sex couple

anyway...

Clearly in the minority here but snogging teens make me go 'awww how cute' and feel all smiley. It's always love and the real thing at that age and that's lovely.

OP, I if I was having a good old snog on the tube at 7am I'd be having such a good time I wouldn't give a fuck about whether I was shocking or not. I greatly doubt the show of affection was 'look at us, we're lesbians and we care not for your hetrosexual uncomfortableness!' I think that may have been in your head. Snogged a few girls myself, for myself though, not to shock someone I've never met on a train. It's just two people, nothing more.

I don't think their gender is important here. Public shows of affection make me barf. Of course if you've never seen lesbians kissing before it would be slightly more weird/uncomfortable.

You should have shouted "GETTA ROOM".
