My first ejection was really quite humorous, and had nothing to do with me or my umpiring partner at all. I was working a charity tournament, I believe it was 12U, maybe 10U, and there were these two coaches from the same team, yes, the same friggin' team, who kept arguing with each other on how to manage the game. My partner and I found it humorous for a while, but then, while the team was taking the field, I noticed one coach throw a drink on the other coach. The second coach picked up a bat and was threatening the first coach in the dugout, when my partner and I intervened. We ran them both. Actually had to take time away from the field to escort them separately to the TD and their staff.
