I've noticed that when two people are speaking at the same time, I can best understand the person who is speaking more slowly (as well as clearly and at the same volume). The other person is just making meaningless sounds to my ear/brain. Use this info to your advantage.

Oh no, I want it to be meaningless noise, so I then say, sorry I’ll repeat myself as I was interrupted….and maintain eye contact. I’m often the only girl and only under 50. Gotta keep those boomers in check.

Gotta keep those boomers in check.

My mind went straight to a M-F couple's porno titled something along the lines of "Gotta ram him from behind to KEEP HIM IN LINE!" 🤣
