Does it annoy you when people kiss at public?

Many times I have heard my friends complaining or getting annoyed when they see couples kissing at public places. But for me, I really don't get annoyed with this habit. Maybe, it also depends on the couples. I like seeing people in love and if that's how they express theirselves, I simply ignore them. However, I guess people should not be judgmental and tell bad things about these people. I and my bf are in long distance relationship thing and when we meet again, I guess we will also be the same...

Well, i do not really get annoyed when people show affection for their special someone on public. But this affection should not go beyond what is accepted in the society. Holding hands and kissing in the cheeks are normal and acceptable. But having more beyond, I think people should do it in a private place.

I am very disturbed, if there are people kissing in public. Kissing in public, not worth it. There are many children, who can see. And it's not a good example, for the children. Kissing in public, is an act that is not commendable.

I don't get why people are annoyed at that either. When you're in a relationship with someone, and it's a happy one, you want to kiss your significant other, and it's completely nonsense to wait to be in a private place to do so. Public displays of affection are something completely normal, and should be more widely accepted.

Yes, it annoys me. I've never had a girlfriend and have never kissed anyone, but I think I'll have girlfriend some day in the future, and I won't ever kiss her at public.

I think that a peck and cuddling is fine but anymore should be saved for the right place unless like yourself being in a long distance relationship and meeting up after ages is well deserving of a long smooch reguardless of the place.

If we are conservative type of person and you see this scene publicly probably you will not like it. And it is also depend on the couples who do it. If they are husband and wife they do it simple as they are caring its others but if they are lovers and you see them kissing it has a different meaning and gesture and you know it much intense. We can see the expression of love by kissing and embrace and many things if they touch each other and there was a sensitivity. Well i f I were in this situation and if i have a long distance love affair maybe i can do the same but with control! I'm shy...

Hi reco, Like others, i find long smooches rather vulgar in the public, why can't they just get themselves some private place if they want to be that intimate. Normal pecks and kisses are sweet, sometimes even admirable. Other than that, i have seen some very horrific things on the internet, by mistake.

I am not annoyed to see people kiss in public. it is nice to see people show each other affection. When it becomes too graphic in public is when kissing displays can turn me off.

It depends on the level of kissing. is it a quick kiss, or is it going on for minutes on end. In all honesty, I really do not care one way or the other. i do not live in an overly conservative area, where it is offensive to the culture.

hi..it really depends what kind of kiss it is.well,if its just a kiss on the cheek then I really don't mind but if its something like locking tongues or something,then my word is not annoying but awkward.I haven't really seen anything like that much in my country. its ok to kiss..however,I wish we know the limits and where to do it without being getting too much attention. ;)

If seeing couples kissing each other in public bothers them a lot, why bother staring at them. What's the purpose of talking about it, if it doesn't have anything to do with you unless you wanna try it. Will they be the one to be hurt when people say things about them, of course not. Its just a matter of conservativeness, if you really care of what others think, why do it?.

It's very annoying! Maybe at western country it's ok to them. But here in our country, It's a Shamed that you kiss in public. Many people will think that your a easy to get person.

It depends on what type of kiss are they having. if it is simply a smack on the lips , it's okay because it's a way of greeting and not vulgar to look at. If it's a kiss on the cheek or on the forehead , it's okay because it's also a form of greeting or acknowledgment of the other guy's presence. However, if it is a torrid kiss, a French Kiss at that, then they better get into their bedrooms in doing it, because i find it vulgar.

Hi friend... I do accept with you. I dont feel it as annoying when two people were kissing in the public. Its their way of loving them selves. Or the situation may be like that. I can understood them .But if they are not lovers or friends i really wont accept them. I mean if and if they are money people. I simply like to shoot them. And i also love to kiss my girl in the public when i cannot stop my self to kiss her. I really dont mind hen people are kissing in public and i too simply ignore them as you did if and if they were in love. Have Good Day... Friend... Bye.

well, i think that depends. if they act normal ,i would certainly accept that. But if they are annoyed by other people i think that would be ... anyway, i don't care too much about that,people like each other and do intimate things. we should understand,and i'm wondering that whether i would do the same thing as you said that you and your bf are in long distance relationship...

It doesn't annoy me, I mean who are we to interfere or judge on the way how would they express their love to each other. I guess it's better that we should ignore those people or lovers and move on with our own lives, give them privacy.
