Interruption

Have you ever noticed in speaking with some people they constantly interrupt you mid sentence or mid thought to tell you why you are wrong?
Even in debate (or argument), one party gets to give their point of view, then the other party gets to respond...uninterrupted.
Interrupting someone mid sentence is a simple show of immaturity and lack of respect for the speaker. Not only can you not wait your turn to speak, but you are assuming you know what they are going to say before they say it and in anticipating your interpretation of their idea, are in fact stating you don't even respect their need to think. Not only is your impatience leading your action, but in NOT listening to what your counterpart is saying, you are stating, "I can't wait my turn and what I have to say is more important than what you think or feel."

If I may suggest to everyone - wait your friggin' turn.
