I strongly disagree with this statement. I have been in the most packed concert mosh pits and "excuse me" still works. You don't have to say "excuse me" quietly, often you have yell it at a regional. When its noisy (like queuing for a match), I think most people expect you to be yelling. If someone wont move because you said "excuse me," they are not going to moving if you say "robot." If an indoor voice works, why not use an indoor voice?
Excessive car horn honking in New York got banned for the same reasons. Certainly it was not a tradition that added to the New York atmosphere.
