Driven to MadnessCaptain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Nonsensical interruptionsWhen you're having a conversation with someone and they keep interrupting you saying "yes" or "I know" or even the deeply irritating "yeah, yeah, yeah". I don't even think they are aware they are doing it but it really gets on my tits.
It's especially annoying when explaining something complex and they keep butting in. So I try to set myself a challenge of catching them out.
"So, we need to speak to ..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
"And once they've done that then we'll be ready".
And watch the puzzlement cross their face.

I think what you're talking about is human interaction.But what you want is an efficient talk protocol. How about introducing a little signal to indicate when you've completed the current transmission phase, and you want the other person to switch from Rx to Tx?
Perhaps you could make a "beep" sound, or a single clap or something?
