I had a girl's freshman game this season where I called a free throw violation on a visiting team player for disconcerting the shooter. The visiting team coach did not like this call because he said his player is allowed to communicate with her team. I said sure as long as she doesn't disconcert the shooter. He responds with you need to read the rule book. This was the cherry on top of a lot of complaining from him so I whacked him.
While we're getting ready to administer the throw in, I hear a mom from the visiting team yell out in her best mom voice "Come on ref! Two wrongs don't make a right!" That got a laugh out of me, which I think annoyed her even more.

Last game of the season two years ago. It's 1A GV. Team A is 0-18, team B is 1-17 (guess where the 1 came from). The basketball is just awful, and to make matters worse we are working it two man because my partner seriously rolled his ankle in the JV game and couldn't officiate.
There is a group of 8-10 home fans positioned op bench at the mid court stripe one of which has decided he's going to be our 3rd official and call the game with us. He's calling out every foul and violation. He's not belligerent, just really helpful. He's also doing that thing where he's critiquing our officiating to other fans when we have dead balls near where he is sitting. The end of 1st half ends with a buzzer beater attempt by the home team that I correctly waived off. Coming out for the 2nd half I know we are going to hear it. We walk over to our spot and I gave him the "whew" face and said "that last shot was close". He said "ohhh I didn't see it". I said "I'm surprised, you've seen everything else tonight". Everyone's face (including my partner) just goes blank for a second, then all his friends bust out laughing. His wife tells me he won't shut up at home either. Didn't hear a peep the rest of the night.

Not directed at an official, but notably funny, anyway.
High school tournaments over the weekend. Underdog team is leading the favorite by 10 points in the fourth quarter. Underdog student section has been riding the favorites all game. When the favorite is moving the ball around for a decent shot, I hear, "Come on! Aren't you guys supposed to be WINNING before stalling?!"

Saw a travel tonight in the NBA all star game. They didn't call it.
