Sure, you can get pedantic about the cultural nuances of courtsey but I'd say that it generally boils down to don't be an inconsiderate a-hole. I live in a country where it's not illegal to take up-skirts I'd say it would be pretty universal to say it's common courtesy not to do that.

An example is not a definition. Like i said, what is common courtesy and where? What is an a-hole? You mention these terms as if they have a universal definition, they don't. Chewing gum in Singapore could be an a-hole move. Is it in the USA? So what gives?

And thanks to all my know-better self-righteous downvoters. I didn't know questions were inappropriate.

Yes, what is common courtesy varies by location. That's a given. And it's another example of why short term rentals can be problematic; the people staying there don't have time to learn the local customs.
Commenting about being downvoted is inappropriate.
I take it it's not common courtesy??
Human interaction isn't math. The law isn't even math. Neither ever will be.
