Cleanup on aisle two
We’ll have none of those Personal Displays of Affection in this store:
Oh, and a little plea to the coupled people of the world: Though it might seem a perfectly lovely idea to you to go to the Wal-mart on a Saturday at 4 pm, and walk slowly side by side down the aisles, arms about each others’ waists, and stop periodically to snog, trust me, the bitter single people who are out trying to quickly get food so they may get back to whatever semblance of a life they have will not feel happy for you and look longingly at you wishing they were you.
Rather, they will mutter, “Get a room, already” under their breaths and push past you to get to the cereal aisle.
I’ve never seen this sort of thing myself — where I shop, if there’s a couple, they’re usually trying to get an unruly child to cool his jets — but I’m sure it could be quite annoying.

Snog, eh? That’s a new one.

“Snog” is very British.

where i shop, the parent(s) are generally oblivious to the shrieks and mayhem their offspring are creating, so p.d.a.s are low on the list of annoyances for me ;)
