You know, I do admire people with gumption and tenacity right up until they prove their lack of respect for the boundaries of others. Sometimes I think it's because they're not all that smart and lack the ability to tell when they've crossed the line. Those are head-shakers, but they're easier to forgive than the smart ones who just don't give a shit about who they might be inconveniencing with their impossible requests and subsequent bitch-fits.
Really, I do hope that being a rude prick is going to become so overblown that it falls out of favor with the group that feels it's their right to get what they want no matter the situation. By all means, state your case as succinctly as possible, and state what you hope the outcome will be. If you can be accommodated, then we are all happy. If you cannot be accommodated, get over it or die mad.
You're not located here to tolerate disrespect from ANYONE. Some people you can't help/placate/pacify no matter how you try. In fact, the harder you try the more they ramp up: They can't/won't hear you and that's it. Turn your back and walk away. The fact they can't or won't be respectful does not mean you have to allow them to leave their dirty footprints all over your prone body.
