Most of us do, I know that I do. I had my 6th of the college season this past weekend and after I ejected the player, his coach came out and wanted to just personally attack me. He started to tell me that I had a "chip on my shoulder." I got freaking pissed but I stayed calm. I asked him if he was talking about me doing my job: keeping players and coaches in the dugout, not allowing them to argue balls and strike from the dugouts and coaches boxes. Not allowing the center fielder to yell at my partner working the plate, not allowing them to wear wind shirts, having a pitcher remove his entirly white glove and I only ejected his player after I had warned him 3 different times. Then I asked him how far I was suppose to let his player go and if he wanted me to NOT do my job. He turned around and went back to his dugout. And didn't say a word in the rest of game or during the 2nd game of the DH, my plate.
