So you already know they are being manipulative. Good. Now what remains to be done is how to become so that they aren't able to take any advantage. Think about why you gove in, why you comply? Is it because you don't what to be seen as mean/rude? I think it is okay to disrespect them, but it is not okay to disrespect yourself. When you take shit from people you disrespect yourself.
