Public display of affection 

Couples operate in public areas, and they display affection such as holding hands, kissing etc. They do this to rub it in single people's faces that they don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
'Woh. There's some serious PDA goin on here. I wish they'd bugger off, they're makin me depressed.'
