To that teenage couple making out in the back row of the
bus, you're not fooling anyone. And please at least do it quietly...
PDA (public displays of affection) is a matter argued over
much amongst the youth of today. First, second and third relationships, in school
particularly, are so exciting and new, everyone wants to flaunt their new
partners to their friends and spend all their time with them. Who wants to hide
the most exciting thing in their life? Not me for sure, but where is the line?
How can avoid crossing it and becoming that-weird-couple-who-is-always-grossing-people-out?
Well, that line is as fine as can be, I would say, normally
a peck on the lips for hello or goodbye is accepted, but full-blown making out
is definitely not. Can we find a middle ground? How long can that peck go for
before it gets weird for everyone around, watching as friends, or just
strangers passing by?
I DO NOT, however, want to see two people sucking each others faces off in a very public place that I cannot remove myself from, short of throwing myself from a moving vehicle. There is the line!! We found it!! If your audience is forced to watch and/or listen to you both exchanging saliva, I think it is safe to say that your PDA is no longer accepted.
There are just so many little things that get on
my nerves. Pet peeves that could be fixed so easily if people were to simply
consider others around them! With PDA, yeah, I get it whatever, but even just
some people walking around in public don't know how to behave!!
For example, it is common knowledge to just walk
on one side of the footpath not in the middle. I understand if you don't
want to walk on the left (as is normal in Australia) and walk on the right,
that's fine I can accommodate that. I'm flexible. I can move over. But seriously,
please keep to one side!!
Today, some girl was walking right along the
middle and didn't care in the slightest that she pretty much pushed me off the
path, right into the muddy puddle next to it. Thanks a lot by the way. These were my
favourite shoes, and now they will never look the same. That is seriously not
even an exaggeration!! Ugh!!
Just, please, if you are reading this, keep in mind
other people around you. Think, this is a person to, is what I am doing right
now going to harm them? Is it unnecessarily annoying? Am I just being a bad
person for no apparent reason? It is not that difficult to just have good
manners. It’s really not that difficult. Being kind and courteous is not
uncool. In fact, people actually like it better!!
And signing off just a little bit frustrated.
Until next time!
