People who argue in a public place.

It is very embarrassing to be caught in this public spat.Some are so loud that even when you try to avoid them they continue with their rant.One in fact commented when i was looking down that it serves no purpose.The person who he was shouting against realised his folly and was trying to make amends but the person who was shouting continued with his ways.I think some people aren't aware of public etiquette.

Yes I have also come across many such incidents where people argue their personal affairs in public places.It is very uncivil.They have no business to argue their personal matters in public places where no one except those involved in argument are interested. As it is their personal matter no one cares to listen or cares as to what they are arguing about.But certainly it causes annoyance to others.They should be aware of it.But many do not care. I feel the Government should hang "Silence Please " board in all public places or put placards in all public places stating that "personal discussions are prohibited here and those who violate shall be fined ".That seems to be the only solution as I think...

Dear friend, This reminded me of argument with a husband and wife, as the wife slapped him on the face in the public. May be the public just left seeing the wife slapping on the face of her husband, we could just see the reason that the husband hesitated to catch their small baby. The argument was loud but it was really a shameful act. What would be the future of that child would be really unhealthy.

I am always arguing in public places. Of course it will be embarrising if the arguement is something private but if it is just something stuiped and meaningless then i dont really give a damb.

It is normal to argue with someone. It is human nature. But to do it in public, is a doing of uncivilized people.

It is pretty ugly as people recently behave on the street.Shouting,arguing and swear while they could solve their problems at home that bothered others.

Watching people argue in public places is very much comparable to how frequent people watch a car crash/accident. You are definitely right about that. Aside from how distracting it is, some of it are kinda disturbing too. Some would even have a fist fight which can put to danger passing civilians. Anyway, those people should get a hold of themselves. I mean, it is really embarrassing to get people's attention because you argued with someone particularly in a public place. If I were in a heated situation where arguing or maybe shouting can possibly happen, then I guess I would try to avoid the embarrassment of creating a scene in public and try to resolve whatever problems as much as I can without having the need to argue loudly that other people may notice. Thanks for sharing by the way. :)

I regretfully remember acting out in public in past times, however, as I got older I learned more lessons and acted out less and less. But every so often if someone upsets me I still have the tendency to misbehave in public. Like I got very annoyed with this bus driver for a very good reason and I couldn't help myself when I gave him a good piece of my mind a couple weeks ago. And believe me, my son and I, are both paying for my angry outburst at him as we have to put up with him unforgiving bad attitude against us when we get on the bus almost every evening. I learned a big lesson.

This is very embarrassing ,thu sometimes we don't like to listen about things people argue,we cannot avoid it or we cannot stop ourselves to hear over it. And i just couldn't imagine people arguing in public esp when it is about personal matters,why can't they just go to other place where no one can ever hear them (so annoying)

Same here. I cannot stop listening to their arguments especially if its rather interesting. But Yes I think they should not do it in a public place. They might say something that supposed to be known only by them or it could embarrass one of them (as if arguing in public place is not embarrassing enough ). As for me I haven't experience arguing with someone in the public place. Its always best to settle it in a private place.

It is very hard to not look or try to listen when people decide to argue in public. If they wanted privacy from prying eyes, they should take the argument behind closed doors. If they choose not to then we have every right to hear what is happening. As long as you are not going out of your way to catch the argument than you are right it is like looking at a car wreck, you don't want to look but what choice do you have?

This father and son got into an argument in front of me at the library where I volunteer. It was really awkward. But that's the only time it's actually happened in front of me before. I just think it's too embarrassing to argue in public where other people will stare at you.

Yeah, it may be the most uncomfortable things in the world if we meet some people who are arguing in a public place. In most cases, people will lose interest in everything because of such a bad situation. I really can't understand these people who lose their temper in public. Have you considered the feeling of other people around them? Why they can't treat others kindly? Perhaps they just want to attract others' attention by this annoying action.

Well, I am not trying to listen especially if I am eating my hard-earned meal. I am concerned for them yes but I can be concern while enjoying my meal. As long as they don't pull out anything and get violent or tumble over in my meal, I am fine with them. I shall keep one and one-half eye on my meal and the other half eye on them. When I finish and they are still arguing, I shall leave. By the way, the same couple who argued will probably be at home kissing and making up a few hours later while I am at home complaining to my partner about the seafood dinner I could not fully enjoy due to their disturbance if I allowed them to distract me. I love everybody but I love my hard-earned meal more.

I was in a retail store once and there were two employees arguing. As the man walked away, she called him names and used bad language. It was right in front of us too! Then she looks at us, smiles and is as nice as can be. What is up with that? That is so unprofessional.

When people are out in public places, they really should pay more attention to their behavior. Arguing in a public place is not necessary. You are just calling unwanted attention in your dirction. Save your arguments for more private places. not everyone wants to be subjected to the problems you have with another person. People need to show consideration when they are out in public places.

i agree with you but we cannot do something about it as when we tell them off, then we'll be told of minding our own business. it's better to leave the place or ignore these people.
