One night taxying in at Baku I wasn't happy with wingtip clearance.
ATC was getting stroppy, the 'Follow Me' was driving in circles in front of us (no kidding) and our station manager whom I'd permitted to sit on the flight deck (never again) was loudly telling me that there was plenty of room.
Of course only one opinion counted and we moved slowly forward when I decided that it was OK to proceed.

Once had locals jumping up and down and shouting over a cargo door problem in Spain. Again, we went when engineering control and I had both agreed that it was safe to do so.

Never be pressurised into taking an avoidable chance.
