While pondering this question late last night while lying awake in bed (thanks to some very annoying and bothersome heart palpitations) I could not come up with anything. Seriously. Not one single instance. All I kept coming back to was the television show My Name Is Earl. That's right. A television show.
You see, the premise of this show is that this man (Jason Lee AKA "Earl") has a near death experience which causes him to reevaluate his felony career. He then learns of the theory of karma and proceeds to write down everything bad that he has ever done to anyone in his life. He rights his wrongs to earn back karma points in his life. This is the premise of the entire show until it's untimely cancellation in 2009. The entire series in on Netflix if you are interested.
Anyway, back to my high road story. I realized that the reason why I couldn't think of any specific time is because I always try to travel on the high road. Like Earl I believe that the universe will give you back what you throw out into it.
Therefore if you are constantly berating others with condescension and hurtful words then that is exactly what you can expect to get back from others in return. While if you choose to respect and use kind words during interactions with others, even if they are not kind in their response to you then you know you will be rewarded in some other way.
In other words, if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.
