Meant for private consumption

I realize that in some ways I am a very private person. So I find myself at times surprised by the things that some people deem acceptable to do in public settings. Take the following example...

I was in the BYU library using a computer at one of those clusters of computers on the fifth floor. The computer facing mine on the other side of the table was being used by a nondescript male patron. An amorous female who I assumed was his wife pulled up a chair next to him. They began talking and smooching and so forth. It was a little awkward.

Then, she did the most unexpected thing, and I wish that I had not seen it transpire--she reached over and popped a pimple on his face. They both continued the conversation, not missing a step. Obviously, this was common behavior in their relationship. Never has the phrase "get a room" been more appropriate.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Also, hasn't someone else posted about this before?

Yes, this is an old story. I was just reminded of it when I was in the library yesterday and had a very smoochy couple sitting behind me. And I thought, "at least it's better than that one time..."

That is disgusting. I'm so sorry you had to witness that. Regardless of whether it was a long time ago or recently... it is still sick.

I think that is illegal in most states. If not, it should be.
