People kissing in public is revolting

Post Reply New Topic

I don't have a problem with people breastfeeding in public. It's just the kissing I don't like.

So what is the difference between the two? I'm comfortable with both.

So two complete strangers unaware of your mere presence because they're too caught up in kissing know that you're single... how?

And breastfeeding in public isn't gross either. It's the only way the kid's supposed to be fed for the first few months of its life.

It's just the fact that people really don't need to kiss in public. There is a reason for breastfeeding though. I'd rather see that than hear a baby screaming. People kissing in public is just something I personally dislike, like people eating, listening to music loudly, talking loudly. I accept that people have the right to do these things, so I just get on with what I'm doing and try to ignore it. But that doesn't change the fact that I dislike it.

So... Just get over it and don't make it into drama?

Agreed

I'm just replying to the questions people are asking.
I've already said that the original post was not meant to be serious, it was in response to a comment made on another thread, so I'm not making anything into 'drama.'

Or better yet, respect the fact that others will have a different viewpoint than you?

This is a thread on a discussion board. I doubt many consider that drama. It isn't like anyone here that has expressed a negative view of the act is out in the streets protesting kissing in public.

Sometimes you do, though. Unfortunately most cities and buildings do not provide public couches with privacy screens at convenient locations along with rest rooms, public phones, and drinking fountains. Sometimes you are out all day and there's no place to go to kiss . . .
Sometimes I think the more crowded the location, the more appropriate it is. If there's only a few people in a room, people will notice you and stare and its a bit rude, but in a large public area with lots of people milling about, no one has to look. They can move 4 feet and look at someone else.

No, you don't. No one needs to kiss that badly. I could understand if one of them was about to die or something, but it's usually just idiots out shopping or or something, I don't want to see that.

Yeah. A little reassuring kiss is no biggie,
but full make-out mode, to me, is pretty
much equivalent to them having sex. It
doesn't necessarily bother me, but I don't
see much difference.

Most people wouldn't agree that they are the
same though.

But you've already admitted earlier on that people *do* have the right to do it. You're not going to live every day of your life and never see anything you don't like, it's just part of life. I see people doing things all the time that I don't like. What about littering? You like to see people doing that? And that one, by the way, has actual repercussions in that it damages the environment. Still though, I don't sit here and make a load of drama about it.

What do you mean by kissing?
A little peck on the lips?
Or a full French kiss?

I don't really mind at all unless i know them.

I don't mind one small kiss or something, if one of them's going somewhere else o they've just met up. It's anything more than that that's just unnecessary and inappropriate.

I'm not.
I'm answering people's questions.

Hey, me (28 years old) and my new girlfriend (56 years old) are now facing the prospect of kissing in public without getting made faces at by other people. So when you're revolted by people kissing in public, be greatful that the majority of them are at least in the same generation.

Last night, I informed our waitress that my girlfriend and I were on the same check. She gave me the weirdest look, then gave the check to my girlfriend. I placed my debit card on the check, and then the waitress returns it to my girlfriend again, despite the fact that a man's name was on the debit card. Our waitress had simply decided that we were mother and son -- and nothing was going to change her mind.

I'm only 28, but I HAVE seen stranger things in this world than a cross-generational couple.
