We have all been in situations where it becomes evident that there are differences that cannot be assuaged and that we're stuck in a situation that's meant to be little more than a learning experience in how to work effectively when you'd rather give into your urges to express what you really think/feel. You know--those experiences where you realize that you're being presented with a level of crap the likes of which you've never seen, and/or people (professionals) who are, as the kids may say, more interested in trolling than anything else, even when you think you're old enough and at a high enough level of professionalism that your colleagues are beyond that.
What have you found to be best practices in these sorts of situations? How do you both maintain your effectiveness and professionalism, as well as your integrity, ego/reputation, and peace of mind? Particularly, how do you take the higher ground and be pleased by doing so when others are so fervently trying to pull you back down to a lower level?
Both personal and professional solutions are welcome, though I'm fairly pleased with the personal routes I take, which are mainly (a) off-color humor and (b) playing video games for a good hour or so, effectively requiring my mind to focus on something else.
