Twice in my career...once in a HS Varsity game, once in a D-II game. Both times had the total support of my association/supervisor.
Best one I ever saw was watching a buddy ref a HS State Championship game...his partner calls the 4th and 5th fouls on losing team's "star" player (both legit calls right in front of him) and kid's Mom is sitting at the table as their scorekeeper. The State has an official scorekeeper, but teams can have their own sit beside him/her...anyway, Mom pops off with some comment that makes the partner stop and turn back towards the table. My buddy was already headed that way as they were switching so he says "I've got it partner" and walks to the table and leans toward Mom and says:
"I understand you are frustrated, but you aren't allowed to make comments from the table."
So she asks "Well then where can I make comments from?"
Buddy doesn't miss a beat and replies "The parking lot."
So she got up and walked out of the stadium...
