PDAs Squick Me Out
Posted by Deutlich on May 19th, 2008 | Filed under: UncategorizedWhile I think it’s terribly adorable when people cuddle bug in public, I draw the line at full on make-out sessions. If there is one thing I do not ever need to see, it’s some random assholes tongue shoved down someone else’s throat.
It’s something that just hits a squick button me with me that I can’t properly explain.
I used to wonder if it had to do with the fact that I’ve been single so long, that I don’t want it thrust in my face. But that’s really not the case because, as I mentioned, cuddle bugging is adorable. Little pecks and hugs and things of that nature just make me smile.
Slobbery saliva fests do not.
Case in point: I was staying at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia a few years back when I happened to notice Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova walk past my breakfast table.
At first, I was too excited because, hello, it’s Enrique! HOTTY!
Then they started to make out like angsty teenagers… at the breakfast table… at the Rits-fuckin-Carlton.
I couldn’t decide if I should feel special or not because this was during that time they were still denying their relationship and here I had PROOF! Then I remembered how much I didn’t care and reverted back to disgust.
I could hardly finish breakfast because every time I looked up, there they were, making complete asses of themselves. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more gross public display of affection than I did that day.

PDA is gross. Way back in high school there was this couple who would link arms through each other’s book bags then make out before they went into class — every time! Can you picture it? Sick. My genius idea was to follow them around with a video camera and catch the action, then air it on our morning news program. Yeah, I did that and then got in trouble by several faculty members for “clearly making fun of them.”
I just wanted them to stop!

mmmmmmmmm…tongue hockey. shiny salivia covered noses, mouths, and chins. so awesome. slobbering, slurping, (choking, sometimes). amazing.
i’m just seeing how much i can gross you out, i did a good job of doing it to myself.

I have to agree. I don’t mind cuddling and holding hands and cute little pecks but full make-our sessions are just ridiculous!
May 19th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Yeah, no sh*t: GET A ROOM!!
There is cute and adorable and there is letcherous and gross. The other day in the park (where kids roam) some dude was fingering his redneck chick right there on the bench, in front of everybody. She had a skirt on. they were snogging and pretending not to notice the stares of disgust.
Some people need a fire hose.

This the shit that grinds my gears!

Seriously, I thought tongue swapping PDA went out in middle school. Disgusting. People should have some class.

Squick? Whats a squick? To me it’s like a quick with an S. And thats just a weird noun.
On the Radiohead front I’ve been listening to some oldies, the Airbag How am I Driving. I love Palo Alto of that, reminds me of my youth.
And I’m seriously considering going the festival in Barcelona. Do you think the authorities will mind if I sleep IN the airport. I’ll feel a little like Tom Hanks I reckon.

I agree with you. I draw the line at exchanging fluids in public- saliva or otherwise. You’ve got to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

I am staunchly anti-PDA. In fact, I spent my entire subway ride the other day composing a post in my head (which of course I never got around to actually writing) about how I am particularly squicked out (great phrase, btw) by NOISY kissers…
There was a couple standing directly behind me, lips at ear level, kissing every 30 seconds or so and that slobbery suction sound was driving me NUTS!!!
Ugh… I shudder at even the memory…

Allison – That’s gotta be one of the funniest things I’ve heard today… and something I probably would’ve done too. Haha.
DMB – You? Are sick.
Ajemi – It really is. Blah.
Technodoll – THAT IS DISGUSTING. OOOh my goodness.
Nico – Thanks! That just happened to be what iTunes was playin… altho, I did have it set to one of my 60 million radiohead playlists..
Katelin – Thanks hon!
Mental360 – Ha!
Dolce – Dude, exactly.
Robbie – It’s a fun term I use for being grossed the fuck out. AND GO TO THE CONCERT IN BARCELONA. fuck what the authorities say, people sleep in airports all the time.
Brandy – True that!
Froggy – Just reading that is giving me the creeps. I would’ve been the asshole that told them off for sucking face so damn loudly.

I absolutely hate PDA, especially full-on makeouts. The ironic thing is that I used to be “that girl” making out with random guys in clubs. I blame the alcohol.
May 19th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I agree. Two of my close friends hooked up and they would just slobber all over each other at every opportunity. It comes as no surprise that their first date started and ended with making out for hours in a park. They are gross. I love them but they are gross.
May 19th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
oh, I am so with you on this one. hugging, holding hands, quick cuddles = cute. full-on need-to-get-a-room PDAs? ICK ICK ICK

Don’t even get me started on PDA. My friend and I used to carry around a whistle in middle school and tweet it at couples who used to make out in the halls.
Sure it was immature. But I’d still do it now.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Hm. If I were dating either Enrique OR Anna, I’d probably PDA their faces off.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
There’s a fine line between a couple cute pecks and eating each other’s faces. I don’t want to see that in public. Why do people think others want to?
May 19th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
oof, i hate pda’s too. keep it in your pants.
May 19th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Honestly? I’d rather watch two people make out than cuddle. cuddling = GROSS. yucko.
May 19th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
it depends on the situation. sometimes i think it is hilarious when i see to beyond wasted people sucking face at a bar when you know that there is no way in hell that they would be doing said sucking any other other time.
btw, enrique? he can run, he can hide but he can’t escape my love.

You should have walked over to Enrique and been like, “Hi, Enrique, yeah…sorry to interrupt but I didn’t notice it anywhere on the menu and, like you, I really wanted to eat some face this morning.” Just don’t look directly at his mole…it has mind control powers.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I agree with the gross factor. And I’m totally upset that i missed you, two years ago, on your visit to PHilly!
May 20th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I would’ve have enjoyed it. I mean it’s Anna K! C’mon!
May 20th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I feel the same way. And didn’t realize I felt so strongly about it until just recently. On my last girl’s night out, there was this couple, across the room in a corner and the girl’s skirt was practically around her neck. Even in my drunken state I was so pissed. GET A ROOM!
May 20th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
nice diggs here hon
May 20th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Ah! I use the word “squicky” ALL THE TIME and NO ONE knows what I’m saying.
May 21st, 2008 at 5:45 am
dude, do not come to germany then. there are all sorts of slobber fests on the subways, and cafes, everywhere. at first i was really creeped out, but after reading your post, i realized i hadn’t really noticed it lately. which means ive just been ignoring it – what is the world coming to??
May 22nd, 2008 at 7:56 am
I agree. I hate seeing that really intense macking out. But hugs, kisses and shows of love (as opposed to shows of lust) make me smile.
