Especially when you're trying to help a student and the student argues with you and states that they don't agree with your answer.
I was trying to help this student the other day and he kept on arguing with me, "I think I understand what you're saying but I don't agree with it." Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't make up the f*cking rules!
We were given the answers and I try my best to explain it as much as possible. Don't argue with me if you don't agree with what I say - I'm just stating what is in the answer key because I don't want to give you the wrong instructions on approaching this problem. So really, it's not me that you're disagreeing with - it's the prof.

the best one I ever got was, "I understand but that's not how I see it in my head." Argh.
if you can't redirect them to the prof, here's an alternative approach. what was the student supposed to learn, or have learned, in devising a solution to the problem, and did the student demonstrate an understanding of that knowledge? if not, you have your answer. if yes, the question is at fault and someone has a good point.
that's easy to deal with
just ask them to talk to the prof.
or another trick. just take the exam and say u will look into it. then give it back after a week and by that time the student would have calmed down
