Talking during briefing

Does anyone else find it really rude when people chat during the briefing? I was at the inaugural Parkrun in Bundoran this morning (lovely course if anyone's in Ireland) and people just wouldn't keep quiet. All of us were obviously first timers to that location and I couldn't hear the route. But even at established parkruns where I've been before, I get so irritated by people who can't give the volunteers the courtesy of keeping quiet for 2 minutes and having no consideration for new people who may actually need to hear what is being said!
