I saw some other threads in the search that had similar ideas but they were closed due to other issues that popped up (apologies if I missed one...).
I was wondering what people here think about things a visitor should do to avoid being rude. Not the "how do I act local" things, those topics have been flayed and fried in other threads pretty thoroughly. I'm thinking of stuff like, bring something with you when you visit someone's house. Take off your shoes before entering someone's house. Chill out, don't honk your horn at people in your car. And of course, be yourself, respect the people who live there already and don't be patronizing by trying to "act local"...
Am I breaking that last one already? I don't mean to -- just want to be good to the people I meet.
I guess I could rephrase this as "what are the things mainland visitors do that peeve you" but I don't want to start it off negative like that.
