  1. Calmly tell them that they have a habit of interrupting you.  


  2. Chip, just say excuse me I'm not finished with my sentence! Thank you and continue, it works for me every time!

  3. The best way is to politely put your hand up to mouth height and say sorry l haven't  finished talking yet.

  4. Well, it happens with me also at work. And they are just so annoying and wouldn't stop talking about an issue that doesn't even concern work. Which of course makes the situation even worse.

    I just neglect what they are saying cos it doesn't even interest me.

    Or I just cut them off as they did and end the conversation very quickly by saying : " Yeah sure, of course" Or just nod and move on.

    Of course it bothers them that I leave "so quickly" but when they ask I say that I have a lot to do and I don't have time for conversations.

    If I wanna be rude like they were to me, I don't even bother to answer.  

  5. Just watch them overtake.

  6. when you are in the middle of conversation to someone, then s/he just cut you off while you are talking you have the right to stop him and ask him to shut up until you are done talking. Because this people kind of personality are the people who disrespect you and to anybody else, someone has to stop till they learn to respect others.
