I've seen this so many times at malls and movie theaters, with said couples often in their teens. It's as if they become oblivious to their environment, not letting anything get in the way of their groping or tongue-wrestling. What's worse, sometimes they reach for each other's butts and other private areas.
I blame this, in part, on the parents. There's no reason these kids should be out that late in the first place. I recently learned that a mall near me is implementing a "curfew" policy where those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult after 9 p.m. I think every mall across the county should follow suit.
Excessive PDA is disrespectful and inappropriate. It sends the wrong message to other people who may catch a glimpse of the unseemly behavior, especially impressionable children. A kiss or hug should be more than enough.
If a couple finds it too difficult to keep their hands off each other in public, they should go somewhere private. They should not think only of themselves.
What's your take on this? Do you think too much PDA is tasteless?
