We were recently on a pitch in County Kerry, Ireland, in between 2 other units. One was a teenage couple (Dublin reg), dressed very inner city, tracksuits, leggings, etc) the other was an elderly couple (UK reg), well turned out at all times.
One couple were loud in general, banging the doors of their campervan (once about 30 times between 11pm and half 12), talking very loudly till well after midnight, generally oblivious to other people nearby.
The other couple you would hardly know they were there, kept themselves to themselves but always pleasant. The day they packed up and left we didnt hear a thing.
Now ..... which couple do you think matches with which ?

My money's also on the young couple being more considerate, mostly because I just don't think you can stereotype people.
That said, we've just left a site near Argelès (in south-west France), where, towards the end of our stay, we were awoken at around midnight by a van arriving on the pitch behind ours. The newcomers made absolutely no attempt to keep the noise down and were slamming about and talking loudly for a good half hour. To add insult to injury, they then cut through a gap in the hedge and walked across our pitch, taking a short-cut to the sanitaires (despite that the path was just one pitch away from theirs).
In this instance, they were a young couple, totally ignorant of camping etiquette and clearly with little respect for others.
Over the years, we've found most campers to be amiable and considerate, but there's always going to be an ignoramus now and again, that's life.
In our case, I blame the site for letting people on at such a late hour without restricting them to the area around reception. Then again, anyone who walks over occupied pitches is a bit arrogant, whatever their age and however they present themselves.
Rant over!

What's the problem with people cutting across the side or corner of your pitch? OK, walking right through the centre where you have all your things spread out would be a bit different, but just skirting the edge or cutting across a corner doesn't seem the worst thing in the world. Though I don't (as a rule) cut across occupied pitches, I may trespass a few cm on the edge sometimes, sorry!
My attitude is, if you havent paid part of the pitch fee then you're only welcome on the pitch by invitation. Cutting a few feet off the corner is one thing, walking right beside the car, bikes, van, etc is another - and the time I described above was another.

I find the further south you go, the more relaxed things are....except for one site in Switzerland where the site rules specifically stated you weren't allowed to walk on occupied pitches. At one site in Italy kids were running straight through the pitch next to us to get to the friends behind....the occupiers didn't seem to have any problem with it at all.
In the words of our hotel landlady in the Tyrol during our honeymoon in the 90s, just after we had hung some smalls out on the balcony to dry : "This ..... is Not .... ITALY".
