What did you do when someone kept interrupting?

Many of us have experienced incidents where someone keeps butting in when it was our turn to talk. Annoying, was not it? My reaction depended on who my listeners were, and the occasion we were in. My alternatives were stop talking, and asking the interjector to continue talking. In most cases the interjector realised the error and kept quiet. I then continued where I left off. In another variation I simply refused to continue even after the interjector has stopped, citing lack of interest among the listeners. The second alternative was a bit harsh. I simply cut off the interjector and asked whether he wanted to take over or not. So far no one said yes. What about you? What did you do when faced with a similar situation? all the best, rosdimy
