Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT

I'm in. I was at L.A. on Saturday, and while it wasn't being yelled (per se), it was being said.

My usual response? Seeing as I was usually standing where there was plenty of room to maneuver around me, I just stood where I was. If someone had asked me to move politely, I most certainly would have, especially if the area was crowded.

I've said this before, but if the safety people are practically ordering teams to do this, do it as loud as possible, as close to their ears as reasonably possible, at every excuse, and nowhere else. They'll get the idea of how annoying it can be really fast. Bonus for then offering them hearing protection, BTW.


(There was also an air horn in the L.A. Regional stands, which was rather annoying and is banned by the Administrative Manual--but at least the user used it quietly and at appropriate times.)
