Are the following rude actions or do I need to get with it?

Question

1. Showing too much sexual affection when out socialising.
2. Wearing sunglasses when talking to someone (especially indoors)
3. Texting when out socialising

Answer 1

I think they're rude. All of them have to do with the offender(s) basically considering their lives of much more importance than yours. They have no concern for your feelings and would far rather be isolated in their own little world than actually interacting

Answer 2

1. Rude!
2. Less than polite when indoors.
3. Rude, unless it's a quick text about something very important.

Answer 3

For number 1 it depends on the person and who they are around.

For number 2 get over it.

For number 3 - if it is a long text - maybe you should be concerned. If it is a short text then over look it. At least the person is not talking on the phone when they are out with you.

Answer 4

1) RUDE

2) Indoors -- rude and ridiculous (you are inside -- there is no sun!) Outdoors -- depends how sunny. In FL, the sun is BRIGHT, so I think keeping sunglasses on outside in the sun is acceptable. Nightime -- never acceptable to wear sunglasses.

3) Texting is stupid anyway. But this is akin to talking on the phone. If you are focused on texting, you are not focused on the person you are with thus, it is RUDE.

Answer 5

1. Define too much? Some people are very touchy-feely, so short of actual sex in public, I'm not sure what would be too much...
2. Unless the wearer has a massive migraine, I'd say it's rude.
3. That's like talking in the cell phone..rude, but somehow acceptable in our culture

Answer 6

hmmm....never would have considered the wearing sunglasses when talking to someone....I wear mine all the time.....I rarely take them off and if I do, they end up on my head. I wouldn't classify that as being rude though. And texting? I guess I don't think that's rude either....Too much affection in public? Not rude in my book either as long as they aren't having sex in front of me.

Answer 7

Yes, Yes, Yes. There is a time and a place for all of those things during social times is not one of them. You can be affectionate towards your significant other but you don't have to put your sex life on display. Sunglasses are meant to be worn outdoors when its sunny. Texting is fun but completely rude when you are supposed to be spending time with your friends.

Answer 8

1) Yeah, you look like your desperate or like you finally let out all of those horny sexual frustrations. Makes you look like a pig.
2) Are you blind? or do you think you're better than anyone else?
3) Makes it seem like you have a very busy social life and/or you want others to think so. But, # 3 is probably the least rudest-if you have to text, then do it.

Answer 9

#1 is rude because it makes others very uncomfortable.
#2 is stupid because if you are inside, there is no sun.....so why would you need sunglasses except to TRY to "look cool"
#3 is fine as long as it is a quick one here or there and not a 30 text marathon with your boyfriend.

Answer 10

I think you need to get with it. Whenever I am anywhere with my husband we are all over each other, it doesn't matter if it is the grocery store or a dance club. Why should I remove my shades just because I am speaking to someone? And lastly, if someone texts me, I will text them back.

Answer 11

Your mother wrote this question for you, didn't she! She snagged your computer while you were out sticking gum under the table at McDonalds so when you come home, she will have back up from everyone here about habits she considers rude. "Now, see? EVERYONE thinks it's rude".

Shame on you, mama, it's RUDE to snag someone else's computer!
