People who are telling you how wrong you are are either A) never been in the situation, so they can't realistically tell you how they'd react, or B) too much of a pushover to get what they really want.
IMO, you're way too young and inexperienced yourself to make these kind of statements. (by the way, you've been making a lot of definitive statements in the very short time you've been on this board... is that your signature move?)
I'm neither A or B and found myself in many similar situations when traveling both on a budget and in more expensive trips. Proper communication and politeness IME yield better results than yelling at people, insulting them or physically assaulting them. Different personality types I guess...
