I upvoted you, because I think this is useful advice to some extent. A lot of people go into programming because they want to be objectively right all the time and they can't handle extended interpersonal dealings. Programming gives them those opportunities; the compiler makes a binary decision about whether your code is "right" or "wrong", and they can always shut people out by saying they have to work on code. As such, difficult personalities are very common in corporate IT. You can't leave every job over it. Gotta suck it up and just learn to get work done while avoiding your co-workers' triggers unless you know the problem is truly extreme in your workplace.
