It was a regular commuters train. People rushed to their seats because it stopped for three minutes only and after some time the tumult died down. The passengers started to look around. As most of them took that trip quite often, it was of little interest to look out of the window. They knew the sight of every tree there. So they started to cast sideway glances at other passengers. There was a couple that drew everybody's attention. Though nobody stared but most of the passengers watched them from the corner of their eyes.
They were a man and a woman in their early thirties. The woman was shapely with a round pretty face. Her companion looked handsome and athletic. They were holding hands like teenagers on their first date and looking at each other with gleaming eyes. It was that expression of fond happiness that made them look so attractive and special. They didn't seem to notice anybody around and were talking animatedly.
Very soon almost all the passengers were listening to their conversation volens nolens. There was no need to strain the ears because the happy couple was speaking in clear loud voices. The talk went on like that:"-Oh, mine used to get up with such a greasy face, it was a shock to see! -Mine made such squelching when he drank beer that it made me sick!" As everybody guessed, the happy couple were discussing their ex'es. They shared with each other about every fart and every blunder their ex'es had made, described in detail their little habits while the passengers of the carriage were listening silently and thoughtfully....
I wonder what you would think in such situation?

They're just enjoying the trip without considering the others thought. Not caring what the others said, 'coz the world is theirs. lol So, I conclude they will love each other. A perfect couple! rofl.
Thank you, pelmenik:)))))))
They should not air their 'dirty laundry' to the public because even though they were talking about their ex-spouses, but it was part of their life before. Furthermore, I believed they made other people uncomfortable though some people would definitely listen to every salacious details.
Inna...
I would think it's better keep silent and don't pay attention lol
I agree, Masi, there must be some limits to honesty, it is better not to reveal everything.
It's a good thing to be honest with your friend, but this does not mean you have to reveal others' secrets especially in public. In other words, you don't have to be honest at the expense of other people's lives. We all have our weaknesses and there is no such perfect person. In the end of the day, who wants others to know about one's own weaknesses?
Let me say one thing you wrote fantastically I imagined myself one of passengers sitting there, but enjoyed listening to their conversation which was entertaining me and made a trip more interesting. :D
Keep writing! :)
Thanks for reading my story, Arif.
Well, to the best of my memory, I've read similar story somewhere where happy couple whispered each other's ears for their private matters, passengers thought as if they were conspiring or backbiting passengers around them. The passengers or people never come to a positive conclusion when it comes to judging others. A large number of people in this world are psycho :). So, don't pay so much attention to the psychopathic people.
Thank for sharing.
It is good to discuss things that you like and you don't like in a relationship and maybe sometimes happens to discuss about your ex but not in such low level and not in front of people. Noone is perfect, we all have defects and it is good to think about them and try to improve ourselves and not to judge others.
