He was usually mad about people not following the rules or not completely filling out a form and that attitude usually carried out throughout the rest of the day. Also, when he would say, "Who loves zipties? Yell zipties!" I understand how he was trying to "hype up" the people in the pit but he didn't approach it at the right angle, it was unfortunately just annoying.

Note: I'm not saying this announcer is bad, he may of just had a bad couple of days or something, I'm simply suggesting that the announcing needs a new approach.
I thought the opposite and thought it was the best pit announcer I've ever heard. Usually they're so bland that after 3 days I don't listen anymore, but I found myself still listening even Friday afternoon. Never had a pit announcer make me laugh before - 'You! No Running! You in the Green Shirt! You're still going! Stop! I can still see you doing it!" Pure gold.
