If you say so. From my experience every coworker or manager or teacher with a reputation for being mean has never had any problem being friendly to me.

This actually sounds worse than you think. Because generally rude people are not associated with being more intelligent. They also tend to fall under more psychopathic behaviors. Even more incidentally, psychopaths tend to get along with each other better than non psychopathic people.

While mean people are not necessarily the case, when you're so mean that it's more of a reputation, that's never a good sign.

Plain and simple, being nice is more useful in most situations and nets more useful results all around. People that don't recognize this are generally pretty dumb.
