Just a quick little reminder to all guests

The pub/bar scenario would make sense if I was talking about the people in the pub. However, in this "pub" it would be more like being in with a group of regulars, and you and other "guests" on the thread being the couple who wanted to try the local dive, and not liking the atmosphere. This is essentially our turf, not yours.

I didn't come here to read your post. I read it in /r/all/ so it's an accurate comparison. This sub is just a table in the corner, whereas /r/all/ is anywhere else in the pub. And if your post gets randomly selected, then it's read by anyone.

Now, your further post here is a completely reasonable description of things that make your job hard or (and rightfully so) at least get your goat.

I'm not being a jackass. I can indeed sympathise with your situation, but only from this point. The original post doesn't fit what you're providing with follow-up for here. As an example, the gripe about

  • stare at your s/o and giggle like middle-school kids while kissing

doesn't equal an obscene display of rutting behaviour you now say happened. The key is you compared them to middle schools kids, which definitely imparts a degree of innocence as part of the affection. All the remarks about newly-weds are indeed valid.

Oh, heck. I now know about venting and this sub. I think you wanted to rant, wrote an inflammatory post that got a bite, and here we are. All I can say is that your original rant was the sort of thing you'd expect from someone who hates their job in and of itself. Too much of it is just how the job goes even when it's going good.
