Fondling in public

52 replies

loobywench · 23/01/2013 19:49

Was in a long queue for checkout at a store today and was just looking around as you do. Couple across from me and one starts to fondle and squeeze the others breasts and then moves on to backside in full view of everyone. My mum was with me and was Blush. AIBU for thinking why do some people feel the need to do this in public?

PDA's are a no-no! Grin

I quite like a cheeky bum pinch when out and about.

Sometimes I even do it to DH Grin

I've seen the same. Stood right next to us (myself and my parents) in a pub while we were sat at a table.

I said 'can I have a go?' when the woman started putting her hand down her fellas trousers. My father shot me a look, my mother told me to shut up. The couple ignored me.

I loudly said 'so how big is it?' to the woman. They stopped, gave me a dirty look, the woman told me to fuck off, but they stopped fondling. My parents and I left quicksharp. The night had been somewhat spoiled by it all. My parents were not impressed with me at all.

They were in their 20s, had 2 kids with them and both female.

A good bum pinch never goes amiss :o but the boob fondling in public is a bit OTT, even for the young :o

MammaTJ · 23/01/2013 20:03

Boomerwang I like your style!

Can't see why your parents were not impressed with you, I am!

It was the couple that were out of order.

Really, any more than a peck on the cheek-get a room!

Gunznroses · 23/01/2013 20:03

Oh dear boomerang! What are you like Grin? Wish i had the guts to say something like that, have your parents forgiven you Grin?

BadgersRetreat · 23/01/2013 20:05

cheeky bum pinch is fine, full on fondle is gross and showing off

Oh dear, I'll give DH bum a pinch or rub but do try and be subtle. Wouldn't be happy if he was grabbing my boobs. Just no need

Narked · 23/01/2013 20:12

That surprises me. I would have thought bum fondling first, working up to the breasts.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 23/01/2013 20:15

I saw a couple in a large supermarket beginning with A, she bent over to get something, he stuck his hand out, I thought he was playfully going to smack her bum, no he put his hand between her legs and casually rubbed her fanny! Shock

Is this a new thing then? Foreplay starts in the supermarket?

LizzieVereker · 23/01/2013 20:19

I suppose it's better than screaming abuse at each other in front of the DCs but a bit OTT. Especially the fanny fondler.

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 23/01/2013 20:23

Some people like to be risky with that lovely 'thrill' of getting caught Hmm

I happened upon a couple in the supermarket, he whupped his cock out and she bent down and put it in her mouth - it happened very quickly and was immediately put away.

This is why I online shop Hmm Grin

hett1e · 23/01/2013 20:26

nothing wrong with a quick fondle, just be discrete

FlorentinePogen · 23/01/2013 20:33

Did she then sprint to the kielbasas for a bit of public sausage fun ? Shock

Aaah this is why when there's a "Child standing in the trolley with their outdoor shoes on" thread, posters say "That's the least of your worries.

I'll bet they don't swab their hands with anti-bacterial gel after they've copped a handful and then groped the bread.

pluCaChange · 23/01/2013 20:43

I just can't believe these stories, especially the last one! Shock

IThinkOfHappyWhenIThinkOfYou · 23/01/2013 20:46

I'm guilty of the arse thing but I draw the line at breasts and genitalia are way over the line.

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 23/01/2013 20:49

That's not even the worst. Dd (aged 12 at the time) and I were crossing the road into town where the water gardens are and there was a couple having sex on the bank in full view of loads of people - it's the bit where the homeless and the drunks hang out opposite the job centre.

Dd's voice carries "oh gross it looks like they're having sex"

Me - "they are having sex, lets go that way instead "

Dd - very loudly - that's DiSGUSting!!!!

I was thinking fuck lets get out of here they're clearly all pissed.

SashaSashays · 23/01/2013 20:57

A couple started having sex in the McDonalds near us, about a year ago.

There were really young children around and caused uproar I nearly forgot to dip my chips in milkshake

Tbh they didn't look all that together and were most definitely pissed.

People have no shame.

Boomerwang · 23/01/2013 20:58

MammaTJ and GunznRoses My parents have always been the type not to draw attention to themselves. They absolutely hate to get into confrontation of any kind.

To be honest, there wasn't much fun to be had with just us three anyway. It's not like I could have a frank conversation with my parents about anything. I was only in my early twenties at the time and we're all the stiff upper lip type.
