It takes only one person to say something stupid but it takes two to argue. If one of the parties to an argument is you, what are you doing arguing? If you don't cooperate, there is no argument. 

If they start complaining about the pen you provided them so that they can sign, tell them to get their own pen and sign, and that you don't have all day! The rule is, if someone starts an argument with you, you find a way to cut it short. Interrupt if you have to, and don't worry about being perceived as rude - They are already perceiving you in a few negative ways already, so being perceived as rude is no tragedy as long as you get what you want in a timely way.
