Get a room!

Ok, I will start out by saying that I am not a fan of PDA. No, I am not against little electronic organizers,  Public Displays of Affection are always super uncomfortable for basically everyone. A small kiss, a quick hug, an amorous high-five - I couldn't care less about the small stuff. It's the big stuff that weirds me out. What constitutes "big stuff" you may ask?

Well...

A few days ago I was at work. I looked out the window, saw that it was one of the rare nice days we get in our town. Since we basically only get 4 of them a year (I'm not kidding, we were honestly crowned the "City with the Worst Weather in America" by The Weather Channel), I decided I would go for a morning walk.  I grabbed a co-worker and we headed outside for a relaxing morning walk.

That particular morning, I was not the only one who decided to take advantage of a sunny, low-humidity, surprisingly-thunderstormless morning.

We get about a block away from work and walk past the downtown public library and there they were..I had decided to enjoy the weather by taking a walk around the block - BUT a large couple had decided that they would celebrate the nice weather by making love on the grassy knoll right in front of the library. My morning walk was ruined...not just my walk, but BOOKS IN GENERAL might actually now be ruined for me.

A few questions come to mind:
1) In what universe is this OK?
2) Why is it only the couples who are not considered traditionally..."attractive" who have no shame? Not that it would be ok if it were a couple of models who were mauling each other in front of the book depository, but it just always kinda seems...
3) WHY GOD WHY?
4 Did they get bored waiting for the library to open for the day and just needed something to do? Because there is ALWAYS sudoku. Dear god, I wish they would have chosen to do sudoku that morning.

I just shuttered, shook my head and continued on with my "relaxing" morning walk.

So if you are in love. FANTASTIC!
Am I happy for you? Yes!
Do I think that people who attack each other like a couple of jungle animals in heat in shockingly public places should be pelted with water balloons? Absolutely!

When you are out at Target, or the grocery story with that special someone, don't be a jerk and make it uncomfortable to be in the soup isle with the two of you. Knock it off before someone hoses the two of you down. Or just call the cops...and if they don't arrest you, they could maybe just mace me so I don't accidentally catch another horrifying glimpse. Either way.

But seriously, tone it down when other people are present.
