Was remembering a recent incident with a friend today, and curious whether others would also consider that this was a bit odd and rude, or that IABU.
Friend is 30 years old and lives in a different city. I was making a trip there, and we agreed that the two of us would meet for an afternoon event that was somewhat outside the city. We got public transport there, but she said that her bf, whom she had been with for about 6 months, could probably pick us up in his car on the way back.
We had a few hours together, all nice, and then her bf came to pick us up. I hadn’t met him before. When he arrived, I can’t remember if he briefly said hi to me, but they basically just started snogging and cuddling like teenagers, eyes on each other no interaction with me, and carried on for about 15 minutes. The event had finished by that point and there wasn’t anyone else around, so there wasn’t really anything for me to do, so I sort of wandered away for a bit, came back to see if they were still going, wandered away again, till eventually they were finished. Then we drove back to the city and had dinner together, before I took off.
AIBU to think that’s fairly odd/rude behaviour by our age, and that they could have waited till they were alone later in the evening? I get it when people are teenagers, or if one of them worked away most of the time or had just returned from a long voyage, or maybe if it was a brand new relationship. But they had been together for at least six months and were seeing each other regularly. It sort of felt inconsiderate at best and a bit creepily exhibitionist or at any rate show-off at worst.
Would you just see it as normal?
