PDA

On our way downtown on the MAX coming from Beaverton, my wife, sister, and I encountered a strange couple. The man was obviously drunk or high, and the woman was so intoxicated or strung out that she was practically passed out or asleep. It was fairly crowded, and they sat down next to people who were clearly uncomfortable.

The wasted couple began making out and groping each other. Massively inappropriate. The dude next to them didn't really know what to do, so he slowly moved to another seat away from them.

An older lady actually rolled up her newspaper and thumped him on the back of the head, scolding them. The man became furious, turned around to her, and started yelling at the top of his lungs, "Don't you EVER f***ing do that again!" He continued to excessively yell at the woman, and everyone was worried that he might be a violent drunk. Thinking that he was going to go over and hit the woman, I attempted to calm the man down by reassuring him that she was going to keep her hands to herself. My wife and sister were not happy that I tried to intervene.

Eventually things calmed down, they quit the (nasty) public display of affection, and got off downtown.
