People are complicated. Few of us are always anything, either polite or rowdy. Rowdy people are capable of acts of kindness, quiet well-mannered people can be extraordinarily rude. When you get big groups of people, as on the big campsites their behaviour is amplified, and they often behave differently than they would on their own. I also think behaviour runs in families. Youngsters will do what they see you doing, rather than what you tell them to do.
We all have 'hot buttons' certain things that particularly annoy us, but other people may regard them as no big deal. I visit war sites,especially those from WW1 and have a tremendous respect for those who fought. The most disgusted I have ever been with English speaking people was at the Arc de Triomphe. There was a ceremony of some sort, they were changing the guard at the eternal flame and there was a 2 minute silence with hundreds of people paying their respects. A teenage boy shouted out in the middle of it "Up the IRA." I looked round, expecting his father to slap him, and the whole family burst out laughing.
Now that particularly upset me because it breached many of my principles and view of what is right and wrong, but clearly for that family their values were different.
