I do get that this is a cultural thing, but "could you not just have left" gets my hackles up here. Like no, it's not up to me to have to leave the place I need to be to do the thing I'm doing just because that couple over there have no fucking manners and think public spaces are theirs to co-opt.

Because where I'm from, PDA are definitely coded as intensely selfish. Leeway for airports or stations, but after that if you need to make a display of your affection in public it will be read as attention-seeking. You're attempting to force other people into a role you've prescripted for 'the audience' in the psychodrama of your relationship.

Maybe for most who engage in PDAs you actually are oblivious to those around you. But culturally people in my country treat public spaces as an open conversation where you are assumed to be conscious of the people in your vicinity.
