It's strategically smart to be flexible with your coworkers from time to time, but don't let things go too far -- you don't want to set a precedent that you are some sort of pushover! So speak up if you start feeling like a doormat and don't be shy about protecting your territory or clarifying a misunderstanding. Sometimes the only way to get respect is to demand it. A quiet word to the right person will get you all the satisfaction you need and it will show others that you don't mess around.
