This.
The people that FRC is meant to be for are a bunch of high school students across the world. We can all pretend like they don't know foul language and all manner of things, but I bet if you really thought back to when you were in high school, you were doing similarly terrible things and saying things when your parents weren't listening!

At one of the regionals I attended this year, there were a bunch of unwashed windows near the entrance to the arena. I walked past these windows to the volunteer entrance and noticed that the kids had applied many illustrations of $@#$@#$@#$@#$@# to the windows, while this is generally frowned upon, it's still relatively harmless and pretty funny.
