My partner finally asks me, did he pull his foot? I say "Yes he did" and he then calls him safe. Vistors proceed to score five more runs. Home team loses. After the game my partner is all pissed off at me for making that call because we had to umpire for another 35 minutes. Got a new partner after that one.

Good for you!! I hate people like that really. Let the players decide.
I was calling a quarter finals of a JV tourney. Scored tied in extras. Partner got piss cuz I would not change the way I call ball and strikes for the home team to get to get that "needed" run to end the game. Turns out the visitors win it and end up going to the finals to lose in extra innings there.
Call it like it should be called and not what you "need"
