Why, oh why?

[Kyung]

Why, oh why, must you interrupt the attorney when he is doing the admonishments and reaches the point where he says please do not interrupt me?

I find that in 99.9 percent of the depositions that I take, when the attorney is going over the admonitions at the beginning, the deponent will quietly sit through all of the admonitions. But the minute the attorney says the magic words:

The court reporter cannot take down two people at once or he says please wait for me to finish

then all of a sudden they interrupt that admonition all the way through. Arrgh!!!
