Does it piss you off when couples constantly whisper to one another when they are in a group setting?

I know a couple that does this, I wouldn't say it pisses everyone off as much as shows how little and insecure they are. We just end up walking faster or moving away to give them space so they stop looking like giddy preteens.

Sounds like they are swingers and just talking about how much they want to bang everybody in the room.

This is what I figure, just take the compliment and go about your business.

Me, my gf, my sister and her bf all hanging out at my sisters apt. My gf and I came into town for the weekend and we are making plans for the next day. I say something about what I want to do, my sister turns to her bf and they start communicating in low voices/whispers discussing what they want to do/if they want to do whatever I said with my and my gf.

And Im just sitting there like... am I supposed to be bothering to listen to this? I cant really hear and dont really feel like putting forth the effort if youre gonna whisper to each other about it. Its just weird how they do that in the middle of a group discussion. They are pretty quiet people in general and my gf and I are not when we are around friends/family, so idk. I just dont get it.

Immediately call them out. My sister used to do this, drove us all crazy until we had a family decision and decided we were gonna call her out on it every time she did it. It was a borderline intervention. She's still not great about it, but she's better.

I definitely think it's a younger generation thing. The first time she did it around my grandma, grandma goes "SPEAK UP HUN I CAN'T HEAR YOU", we all died laughing. Grandma was legit confused about why she was talking so quietly.
