Come on!

So, what makes people think they can be rude, insulting, and cruel and still get what they want from you?  It makes very little sense to me.  Point in case, I was asked by someone I know, not a friend but someone in my life that has been there and will be there for awhile yet, to use my car.  Now I had no issue letting her use my car, she had just had surgery and needed transportation.  I said yes, well she decided to be rude, no real reason, just an insulting reply to a text.  But I decided, sorry, if you want help from me you have to at least pretend to have respect, and no you cannot use my car.
This caused her to sort of flip, like 20 text messages, 15 or so phone calls, and at least 5 emails in an hour or so, all telling me I was a bad man, or I fucked up, or I don't know what I did.
Lets see if I can get this right, you asked me for the use of my car, I said yes, you became rude, I changed my mind.  Is there really more to it?  Maybe, just maybe, you should try to be kind, nice, civil, keep your toxic tongue still?
So what makes some people think this way?  It goes along with the rest of my rants on society today.  Once someone gets what they want there is no need to be nice.
Common courtesy folks, ask the people that are there to support you, wives, boyfriends, family, friends for help.  don't ask a friend and then treat the friend like crap.  Civillity, its whats not for dinner.
If the majority of people just kept some things in mind when interacting with people I think the world would flow slightly better.
