PDAs
Every Thursday evening there's a discussion group I try to meet with. I usually have enough time to get home from work, grab a quick bite to eat, then walk to Capitol Hill, which takes about half an hour. The weather hasn't been too rainy of late, so the walks have been quite enjoyable. Capitol Hill is a very colourful part of town with plenty to see. Yesterday I got an eyeful.
For the duration of my walk I was behind a couple, presumably boyfriend-girlfriend. They held hands when they walked, and sometimes put their hands into each others' back pockets. They didn't attract too much of my attention until we stopped walking at red lights. That's when the couple started making out. With each progressive red light, the wilder they got. By the time we arrived in Capitol Hill (were they heading to the same pub I was?) they were groping each other, sometimes leaning against walls or even parked cars for support. I was afraid to walk past them, lest I get unwittingly sucked into their necking session.
Eventually our paths diverged and the couple disappeared down a residential street, and I walked on alone, shaking my head. Some people have no shame when it comes to public displays of affection
