Of Social Norms

Nowadays, young couples appear to treat their surrounding as if they are all opaque.  They can kiss (I mean wet kiss) each other any time and any where.

I witness one such incidence today.  The young man in the car in front of mine had just stopped at a traffic light junction.  I saw him bending over to the girl on his left and started holding both her cheeks and started kissing profusely.  Then they engaged in deep kissing, locking their lips for quite a while.  They were oblivious to the people on both sides and behind watching them.  

It took a good 2 minutes for the light to turn green.  Even then, I had to wait for another 15 seconds before alerting the man that it's time to move ahead.   After that the car sped off,  overtaking a few cars via emergency lane.   I believe he was trying not to let me recognise his face....lol
