Osu, that's good advice and something that I really try to do. I don't avoid or shy away from anything that could be used to develop personal experience and character.
As for the co-workers in question, i've been known to be a pretty easy going person. I can take a direct insult and keep the mood light. What probably kept them pushing was that they finally found something that pissed me off. Even if it was gradual. (even if i did end it at the start by saying "yea, she's hot" or "Nope" it would have been me as well as them giving disrespect)
What I am addressing though in this post was respecting your instructor and to what point? To the point of breaking ties with people you've known for at least a little while when they decide to get too familiar with something that is intensely formal by nature? Before that? Or is there a point at all?
