PDA sale on the Wal-Mart bus!

Ah, Wal-Mart, where would we all be without you? Wal-Mart keeps us college students supplied with food, clothes, school supplies, and anything else a student may need *cough*LIQUOR*cough*. So basically, Wal-Mart is awesome. The problem lies in getting there. For people like me with no car (and no friends wih a car) taking the bus is the simplest solution.

The bus system here is actually pretty good. We get free rides everywhere as students. Today I went with a few of my friends and we boarded the 1B Salisbury, which is a straight shot to Wal-Mart. As we rode, I looked around the rest of the bus. There was quite a variety of people there. A heavyset man sitting in silence, a woman with two small children going to the Goodwill store... and two students sucking face.

Now, I am a pretty liberal guy. I don't mind a little PDA (public display of affection). But when I see two people going at each other like pirrhana at a cow, I get a little queasy. Thankfully the ride didn't last much longer than that, and I was soon able to escape the human leeches.

This may be news to some of you, but people notice what you do in public. If you are going at your significant other on a bus, the other passengers can and do see you. They probably like it as much as I do, which isn't much (well, probably some of them enjoy watching, but I digress). Save your affection for alone time. Displays such as the one I had the "pleasure" of witnessing negatively affect the way others think of you. You never know when you will see these people again. Maybe one day you will be at a job interview and all the interviewer will think is "that guy was sucking that girl's face off on that bus". You don't want that to be what you are remembered for.
