PDA
No, not those hand-held electronic PC/Organisers. I'm talking about public display of affection. No, I am not a prude but there are just some things you can keep to yourself and out of the public eye. No, I am not bitter =P.
I was on the train on the way to Uni today. It's early, bout 8.00 am. A couple of stops before my Uni, a couple walk in and sit down opposite me. That's cool, I don't care. I'm listening to my music, looking out the window. I turn around for a bit and there she is, feeling his thigh and moving on to grope him. She reaches her destination. I roll my eyes and turn back to look out the window. What distracts me next is the sound. They are sucking face like no tomorrow, and its VERY noisy (she's still groping him by the way). This goes on for 10 minutes, I kid you not, by which time I have to get off the train. As I'm getting off, I see them through the window and they are still locked by the lips.
At work the other day, this couple come through the register. Middle aged... large (for lack of a better word) people. They are all over each other (well, as all over each other as... large people can be. They are more like bouncing off each other. I'm mean =( but it's true, and I'm pissed off). Anyways, included in their shopping are not one, but TWO packets of condoms. I cringe and try to avoid any mental imagery involving these two people, and because I was tired, and at work, I decided to be a little wicked.
You see, some products come with a security tag which will cause the checkout sensors to beep really loud if they are not deactivated properly. I can't divulge too much of the company's secrets =P. Anyways, I decided not to deactive them. As soon as they tried to leave, the sensors beeped. So I called them back over. The thing with these sensors is, all eyes are on you if it beeps. All customers anyway. I asked to go through their bag and see if they had any toiletries (usually the stuff with the security sensors). So I pulled out the condoms and said (in a voice a bit louder than I usually use when speaking to customers) "It's these condoms! They aren't deactivated. Bring the condoms over here so I can scan them!". The couple both went a furious shade of red. Needless to say, they felt awkward showing PDA after that incident and they didn't even walk back off with their arms around each other. No, I'm not going to crack a fat joke here.
Moral of the story/post. Don't do PDA. It sucks, ok?
