Good posts Have Hope and Rive.  I was thinking the same thing about leaving the room, if this is happening in person. If it's on the phone, I'd say unless they are going to listen to me, I'm hanging up. Then do it if they don't respect me and cut that OUT.
I was taught it's rude to interrupt people or talk over them. It implies that what I'm saying is more important. Maybe this isn't taught anymore. I don't know. I have a casual "friend" who did this a LOT when I first met her, and after I repeatedly asked her to stop doing that she finally stopped.
I haven't spoken to her in months, though that's not the reason. It just seems the friendship isn't as deep as I thought it was. And I don't even miss her. Another "friend" is even worse with her interruptions and domination of the "conversation", being loud and overbearing. I don't miss her either. If I can't talk to them in a real back and forth way, it's not a conversation.
Arbie I hope things get better and you get through to their THICK skulls........
