That's not to odd... I work in Property Management and write Violations too and I had a guy just literally 5 minutes ago ask me if I could wave a violation from April for garbage or something... He started chatting with me and all of a sudden he goes "I was in Atlanta to see this a FIRST competition." I just about flipped out in my office and needless to say the violation went away.
The oddest place I have chatted about FIRST had to have been NCA cheerleading camp... It's always odd to have another FIRSTer, much less a cheerleader, notice a random button you have on your duffel bag and start up a conversation.

In DC for JSA I talked with none other than Ralph Nader about WildStang and FIRST after he spoke to us and he seemed interested in it... but then again he is a really quarky guy so you never know.
