Say what you mean and mean what you say. Like I said some people could interpret anything as anything. I have seen people who get bent out of shape about saying hello or smiling, so saying a bell is bad is just as silly.
In the case of needing people to move out of the way or alerting I am there it is a more urgent matter, a bell makes that easy.
