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

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?!

Urgh god. I cannot bear the sound of lips smacking together passionately. Especially when there is groan thrown in. It's horrid. It's different when you're doing it yourself in the throes of passion at home in missionary position, but in public. Just NO!!

I don't care how much spring is in the air. NO CANOODLING.

I once was the poor sucker pressed up against the snoggers in a packed tube. A guy with a giant backpack kept giving me sympathetic smiles. It was so packed I couldn't turn away without nudging them so I just sat and looked as creepy as I could every time they came up for air.

I wasn't brave enough but I wanted to lean forward and say something gross. "Room for one more?", maybe.

Iliveinalighthouse They're lucky they're not in Dubai. Kissing in public is illegal there and so it should be.

That's the main reason I won't go to Dubai, it looks amazing, but DP and I are very much hands-on, and while we may not do noisy snogging in public, we will kiss and hug and generally be affectionate to each other. He loves whispering rude things to me while we're out to make me blush. We'd be in prison within half an hour of getting off the plane. Especially as Shock we're not married!

I think all you anti PDAers are miseries, I love seeing people in love, expressing their affection for each other, especially older people. Nothing more spirit crushing than a couple sitting ignoring each other over dinner - I'd much rather have my dp feeling me up under the table Smile

I don't blame you for cringing OP. If they did that 6 inches from me I might be tempted to mutter for gods sake or something.

Pretty sure I was one of them a few 25 years ago.

Now I'm a middle aged married mother who wears Spanx and goes to PTA and WI meetings .

Still, my DH and I did snog (quietly, I think) in a crowded Covent Garden Underground lift in August 2011, so maybe I haven't completely lost the old me Smile.

Genuinely LOLed at that, Fanjo!!! That'd learn 'em!!

Yanbu!
Absolutely disgusting. Ughhhhh.
I'm not completely against PDA. It's cute seeing people holding hands Smile Just not squelchy disgusting snogs.

OP - YANBU.

I would have had to move. I might have said 'get a room' as I passed.

This is in my top-3 public transport nuisances

Msvestibule that's about as assertive as a person from Edinburgh gets socially Grin

I will allow an occasional peck. Full on snogging? Jog on.
