Survey: Don't you HATE it when...?

...you are speaking to someone in their office then someone walks up and just starts talking to them, without even politely excusing themselves, apologizing, or otherwise interrupting YOUR conversation with the other person. And then the person you WERE talking to, just talks to them instead of saying "can you give us one moment please, and I will be right with you".

Rude on both counts. More importantly, it just isn't professional.

I really hate that. That is probably one of my biggest pet peeves at work, because it happens so often around here. What can I do to help things when this happens, with out being rude?

I would point out that I was here first and ask the person who I was talking to if they wanted to continue our conversation or talk to the person who butted in on my conversation. Unless the person who butted in outranks me and then I would excuse myself and as I was leaving I would tell the person with whom I was talking to give me a call when they are free.
