Prime places to exhibit PDAs in Toronto
Here's another "just thought you should know" item from my daily "adventures"...
So Friday was the Engineering Science Education Conference (ESEC) where students brought speakers from all over the place to talk about each of the eight options from which second-years can choose. Naturally, there was free food afterwards and so I stayed to take advantage of that food. By the time I was sufficiently satiated, I left campus with the intention of taking the 18:30 northbound GO train.
I boarded the train in one of the coaches that have high headrests (to facilitate on-train napping), and found a nice seat where I could stretch my legs (ordinarily, I wouldn't be able to because of the high passenger volume during rush hour). As I was looking around, I saw a couple in the corner of the train - a brown man and an asian woman - thoroughly engaged in each other for the rest of the passengers in the coach to see. Well I guess it wasn't "thoroughly"; they were kissing each other at various intervals - the occurrences could probably be modeled through some sort of wave equation. Luckily, I seated myself sufficiently far away from them so I couldn't hear what they were saying... otherwise I might have needed to go to the on-train washroom to empty my stomach of the free food previously consumed at ESEC. Instead, I focused all of my efforts on falling asleep so I wouldn't have to see any more PDAs from them.
Phasing in and out of sleep, I noticed that the couple de-trained at different station stops, which was a relief for me because then I wouldn't have to speculate on what would happen afterwards (not that I would, anyways).
So apart from this mildly revolting PDA in a very public area, I pose these questions to you: what kind of PDAs are you willing to tolerate? where are such PDAs acceptable?
By the way -- if you don't know, PDA = Public Display of Affection

richard, i hate PDA. a little peck on the cheek or what not, i'm okay with that, but i don't know why couples have to be all over each other in places where you aren't suppose to be.
i think its all for show. maybe they want to show the world they can get some.
lol that sauce was really tangy. it was a nice contrast.
lol that was my intention. i wanted to pretend that i was lifting the wall but then when i looked back on it, it didn't look very convincing.
teehee =) hi richard! i was so intrigued by your blog today so i thought i might comment! i actually witnessed PDA to its max when i was waiting for my streetcar in toronto with a couple other people. and this one couple next to us was making out "passionately". did i mention they were lesbians? regardless of sexual orientation, i don't think it's appropriate to do it in public. I think a peck and holding hands is okay .. but after that.. people should get a room.
