AIBU – Over the top PDA and now glaring?

I’ve been spending time with my elderly neighbour, who’s been teaching me how to knit. One day while I was visiting, some of their family came round - A man and his girlfriend (she’s a bit older than me).

She sat straight on his lap with her arms around him, they were even snogging in front of everyone, and she kept looking at me while doing it. I’ve no interest in him at all so it’s not jealousy, but I found it inappropriate, especially in someone else’s home with elderly people present.

Since then, when I’ve been in my garden, I’ve noticed her glaring at me. I’ve barely said more than a polite hello to her, so I honestly don’t get what her problem is.

I should add that my elderly neighbours are very family oriented and always have people round, so it’s not unusual for relatives to be visiting when I’m there. I’m also not even sure if this is worth making a post about, but I don’t want things to become awkward. Part of me thinks next time she glares I might just say, “Everything alright?” to shut it down calmly.

AIBU to think her behaviour is unnecessary and rude?

Oh you have just reminded me of a couple who went to my college.

They made out absolutely everywhere! But if you even dared walk passed them they would stop and stare at you as you walked by.

They always stood against the wall in the busiedt corridors. My personal fave was when they were basically lying on top of of a table. A few classes had to go to this table to sign in every morning. I actually had to say excuse me and pull the sign in sheet from under the girls bum. They looked so annoyed at me.

I put it down to them liking and audience and maybe making up a roleplay that ppl were jealous? Etc
Maybe they just exhibitionists.
