Arrogant people and those who belittle others generally have deep issues, and their arrogance is usually borne out of their unhappiness and problems in life.
Nibble at them, I say. Meet one insult with another in return.
I mean, who really cares about rude people anyway ??? They deserve every bit of crap that comes back at them.....hee hee.
That is one method. Sadly, too many of them will complain about you to your boss so that's why I suggest the other method.

I had to deal with an arrogant inclusion teacher in a classroom a few years back. He would belittle me and correct me in front of the kids. When I said something to him but not in front of the kids, he reported me. My principle at the time was understanding. However, she said I had to find a way of dealing with him.

Some of those arrogant people are just close-minded bigoted socially-ignorant SLOBS, who are unable to empathize with other people.
