Narrative:
Requested a guide man to guide us in. After docking; I was contacted by the chief pilot on duty at ZZZ on my cell phone while walking to my next departure gate; asking why I had asked for a guide man; that I was the only one requesting a guide man; and what they could do to help me. I stated that I was uncomfortable using the docking guidance system.
