Yeah, aesthetics are a really difficult thing to pin down ( & unwise to argue about ), but universals do exist such as a speedo on the wrong person. It's like pornography - you know it when you see it
I had an experience at the Marriott Playa Andaluza resort where one of our bags did not initially make it to Spain with us & I had almost nothing to wear the first two days ( we learn after this trip to divide your things between bags). It was October & finding a bathing suit in a local store proved a difficult undertaking. I could find lots of speedos for @$19 but no regular trunks. I finally found a pair which cost $65. There was not way I was wearing a speedo as I know my wife would never let me forget it.

this is a common sense guide to conduct. But I think it increasingly falls on generationally indifferent ears.
As an aside, I'm surprised at how vehement feelings are about lounge TV sacrilage. I myself am a more solitude-minded person. I travel to get away from talking heads ( and folks who speak from other parts of their anatomy
). As in all public situations, one has to cede some portion of their individuality. But I detest a loud TV and see it no differently than someone yacking loudly on a mobile. I'm thankful for MP3 players which allow one to zone out apart from the ranting masses.
