Compromising denotes neither party getting what he or she wants. For example, if your husband wants Italian food for dinner tonight at a restaurant and you feel like eating Chinese food, to compromise means to go to neither an Italian nor a Chinese restaurant. Instead, you could end up compromising by having Mexican food. Both of you would feel better if you try to negotiate. By this I mean one of you would get to pick a restaurant of his or her choice tonight while the other gets to pick his or her choice of restaurant the following week. This way both of you get to have a choice of the type of food you would like to eat.

A lot would depend on the particular circumstances. But, I would say no if: someone was about to inadvertently hurt themself by not following a safe manner of doing something; or if I was the one who was ultimately responsible for the good outcome of a project; or if something had just gotten so ridiculous I felt I had to say something.
But, if it only affected someone who got argumentative with me, I would advise them of the likely consequences and probably walk away...letting them know not to ask me to fix the mess. These days, I don't let a lot rattle me for too long. Life is too short to let someone else screw up my day...I can do a pretty job of it all by myself.

In a work environment I would be open to suggestions/comments, but ultimately if the resolution were my responsibility I would have no other choice but to act in the best interest of the company. And my decision would be exclaimed that way.
At home, again, I am open to any logical solution to any issue. But my home is "my" responsibility and my wife has always trusted my judgment. My home is a totalitarian state and I run it.
