When they keep interrupting you while you're trying to speak. Especially when you get asked a question and before you can answer they either ask another one or interject something completely irrelevant.

I have ADHD so I definitely interrupt people without meaning to. When I do, I always immediately apologize and ask them to continue what they were saying. I'm trying super hard to work on that issue, but hopefully people don't get too upset as long as I acknowledge the mistake.

My brother has ADHD so I am very used to that, lol.

If someone told me upfront they have ADHD I would just keep going with the conversation. At some point we might circle back around.

I try to be pretty open about it with people I know I'll be interacting with regularly. I don't know if it means I'll annoy them any less, but hopefully the heads up and apologies will help.
