To think the couple on the tube should stop kissing each other every four seconds

62 replies

LancashirePudding · 02/03/2016 18:00

There is a couple stood next to me on a busy tube train, having a conversation which is interspersed with noisy sloppy kisses about every four seconds. WIBU to ask them to save the revolting love in until they get off the train?!

Which line are you on that you're getting WiFi so well?

Central line MrsBertMacklin I can get 4G on overground parts. Have thankfully escaped my kissing companions now!

Ah, I'm on Victoria line for my commute - I long for the free wifi to work anywhere but Vauxhall.

Personally I am nothing but jealous. I think that stage lasted DH and I about two weeks three months. Eight bloody years ago.

lighteningirl · 02/03/2016 19:00

Maybe they just got engaged good for them it's bliss that totally loved up phase and it doesn't last still kissing all the time after ten years

icelollycraving · 02/03/2016 19:13

The mention of a 69 ^ has really amused me,haven't heard it for years. The term having it off also cracks me up.

ouryve · 02/03/2016 19:18

Aww. They're all loved up :o

(It was the perfect moment to mutter "Oooh! Slurpy slurpy!" Shame they've gone)

lighteningirl I'm all for romance and being head over heels for each other...just not six inches away from me on a busy train where I have no option to move away from their constant slurpy kissing

Aw I find this stuff very sweet when I see it. I've never liked the English horror of PDAs.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 02/03/2016 19:35

Ugh. If I didn't live in Cardiff I'd be straight over there with a bucket of cold water. YANBU.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 02/03/2016 19:37

They're six inches away? Can you just lean in and lick one of their faces? Then when they look at you, say "....What?"

lighteningirl · 02/03/2016 19:47

Ah six inches not nice yadnbu

"don't share your foreplay with other travellers"

Euwwwww! I think you should've shouted that at them OP. Or puked on their shoes. Or joined in the slurping noises

beardsrock · 02/03/2016 20:20

Sigh. Let them be.

I was once like that (old gimmer emoticon)

'Spring is in the air'

Or as they say here in Canada 'the maple is rising'

HotNatured · 04/03/2016 12:56

Rude and inconsiderate. I was a on a tube once and the couple next to me were virtually shagging. He was dry humping her it was rank. I had to tell them that what they were doing was making the whole carriage sick uncomfortable. They got up and moved. This doesn't come from a jealous place as I'm v much loved up and don't mind a discrete PDA myself, but I draw the line at fucking each other in public. Also couples who snog on the escalator when you're standing behind them. So awkward. You kind of feel like it's wrong to be there. Have some bloody consideration !

RaspberryOverload · 04/03/2016 13:29

I don't get to see a lot of this stuff where I live, but on one train we had a couple snogging.

I do generally ignore it, but this pair made the most horrendous noise while doing so.

I admit it's the only time I ever said anything. Just said that I wasn't bothered by the kissing but the accompanying loud noises were distinctly unsexy. Kind of wish I hadn't said anything cos they looked embarrassed but it really was loud.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 04/03/2016 14:02

I was on a train once with a young man opposite, a few stops in a few girls got on,there were not enough seats so one of them sat next to young man, they struck up a conversation, all very innocent and pleasant. Not long after he put his bag on his lap and she put her her hand under it and there was quite a bit of jigging going on, I was glared in a very passive aggressive manner and hoped I wasn't seeing what I thought I was... then she got off the train and he moved carriages, wtaf I assume they were strangers wtaf

squoosh · 04/03/2016 14:11

I sat opposite a couple on the subway once who were stroking each others crotches. Was so gross.

They looked hard as fuck though so I just studied the floor intently.

squoosh · 04/03/2016 14:11

hard as fuck as in rough and tough, I didn't see if his member was 'hard as fuck'.

squoosh · 04/03/2016 14:12

Eccles maybe it was a couple living out some stranger on a train fantasy. Or maybe they were actual strangers on a train. Either way 'ewwwwww'.

LauraMipsum · 04/03/2016 15:12

Maybe MN could submit an entry to the Travel Better London poetry campaign (the really awful four-liners that never rhyme or scan properly, illustrated with people with creepy rectangular eyes.)

Although you may be in young love's haze
Please avoid any PDA's.
We know you think each other marvellous
But don't share your foreplay with other travellers.

MinesaBottle · 04/03/2016 22:15

LauraMipsum brilliant! It even scans better than the real ones

I was on a fairly busy bus last year, sat in a window seat and a young man in early 20s sat next to me; his gf then sat on his knee and they snogged passionately while I was trapped in my seat. Perhaps it was the same couple?

I've never been so uncomfortable or felt so old British. Thank God they got off before me (fnar).
