Sapmi,
When dealing with pricks like those guys you mentioned earlier the best course of action is to be non-reactive, they are seeking a reaction from you, if you give them a negative reaction i.e. being angry or by lowering yourself to their pitiful name calling antics you've lost. Instead show restraint.
Sometimes surrender is victory.
