It's literally not her house, there's no expectation of privacy during a family gathering at a place you don't live

I get that, and 100% why would they be having sex there, but then why knock at all? Like why knock on a bathroom door and not wait a couple second to see if someone’s in there

Let me introduce you to half of American households. The knock is an announcement of entry, not a request for it.

Probably cause she doesn’t expect to see OP and her girlfriend hiding away nakedly sucking mounds in what was probably a children’s room.

From the sounds of it, it’s her room at her grandparents’ large house. I’ve known many a grandparent to keep a room for their grandchildren, even after their all grown up.

It was a bedroom, not a bathroom. And a quick knock before opening isn't abnormal, though I agree it's dumb if you don't wait a few seconds

Real question, though, what purpose does knocking do if you don't wait for a response? What does it accomplish to knock then immediately walk in?

You'd have to ask someone who does it. Maybe avoid startling the easily startled?

We live in a society. Social customs exist so that people are used to interacting with each other in a relatively consistent way. Everyone acts differently, sure, but when a social customs is violated, it's extremely noticable. They don't always have practical use or make sense.

Knocking before entering is a social custom that people follow even though they intend on opening the door without a response.
