How do you think your co-worker should respond to the other one being an asshole to them?

Be direct. "Look, I have something to ask you in all seriousness. You're not being very nice to me, and I find it hurtful. Could you stop doing that, please?" if they don't, you now have a case you can take it to HR of someone continuing to do something after you literally spelled out that you would like them to stop. Without that, if you had merely been faking ignorance and asking questions? You have no case. You egged them on.

Politeness doesn't mean passive, nor does it mean acting nice while trying to get revenge. Be honest, direct, and professional.

That's a very fine line to walk. In my experience, being direct and honest like that leads to people thinking you're a bitch for making a scene, not letting things go, etc. Confrontation, even if it's professional and non-malicious, tends to be frowned upon. Maybe it depends on the workplace.

I wish it always could be like you described - I'm a very blunt and confrontational person and I prefer to have things in the open and move past them rather than let them fester. It's something I've had to reign in to the point where at work, I will often hold my tongue even if I think I have a reasonable right to say something. Sadly, I've even recently been proven right. Speaking up just draws negative attention. :(
