rubbed the wrong way

“I don’t know how you can be in a room with Jim and felt rubbed the wrong way,” general manager Joe Hortiz said.

Even though it wasn’t in reference to the MLB season being suspended, many players admitted that they were rubbed the wrong way, including Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, who often interacts with fans on Twitter, and notoriously shares his beliefs about the game of baseball.

“There’s just a lot of people he rubbed the wrong way after that but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t right in what he was saying, they just didn’t want to hear it. But I tell you what, he was always pushing to do what was best for winning.”

That’s what you call getting rubbed the wrong way.

“But I was rubbed the wrong way by the arrogance of the technology companies and the presumption that they knew what was best for everyone. There was this whole idea: You policy guys just shouldn’t worry. We’re a lot smarter. We’ll take care of things.”
