Bumping this elderly thread.

Yesterday, I was at a coffeehouse that I regularly frequent. A geeky couple walk through the door; both big and doughy, with the man wearing a fedora and speaking in a deviated septum-inflected voice. They sit down on a couch, begin a conversation about anime, and within five minutes they’re both going to town. With _loud_ slurping and moaning noises

I’ve never seen patrons of that coffee shop make out there until now. Hugs, pecks, and the like, of course, but not the “hey, get a room!” kind of PDA, even among the high school students that drop in.
