This was literally a lesson in school when I was 7. It seems to have stopped after my class. Most notably, it was a common occurrence in the HOSPITAL where I worked, committed by DOCTORS in residency/internship regarding non-urgent matters. They would see you talking to a nurse/doctor they wanted to talk to and just start talking OVER one or both of you like conversation double dutch. At another job, we had a coworker that would literally stand between you and the person you were talking to, physically inserting herself in the conversation as she talked over everyone. And today in class, another student yelled about her black Friday anecdote from across the room as I was making chit chat with the lecturer.
tldr; say "excuse me" or wait for someone to look at you or bare minimum STOP TALKING, if you want to join a conversation.
5 year olds know better!
Edit: Originally said "my generation" instead of my class. Someone pointed out that that made me seem old as Hell. I'm only 35 (which is near middle aged?)

1. That's not me. 2. That gif is at least 6 years old. 3. No idea who the girl is; think she's Polish or Russian.

Maybe you they are talking about personal shit and the doctors need to get their job done.
ShutUpMeh
Yeah, but everyone chats at work. Just say "excuse me" before you start talking. I totally understand shop talk being more important 1/2
ShutUpMeh
But acknowledge other people's existence. Say "excuse me" or "sorry, this is urgent".

I wait for a pause before trying to interject, others just jump right in and interrupt me. If I do it I'm called rude. Am I so unimportant?
ShutUpMeh
No, they're just wieners
