Over the past year or two I've become really intolerant of that sort of thing. I'm an asshole sometimes when people either finish my sentences, interrupt, or listen to what I say and deliberately respond as if what I said had another meaning.
And I say I've become an asshole about it since I let them know it annoys me. If someone interrupts me I immediately stop, let them speak, and then dismiss what they said, and say "What I was saying was..." and then start from just before I left off.
If someone tries to finish my sentence I'll let them finish, and then dismiss what they said and either repeat it myself, or just not finish it and not give them any indication of whether they were right or wrong.
I know it gets on their nerves, but it's one of the most frustrating things I can think of, when someone interrupts me. I say 'What I was saying, was...' far too often for my own good, I think.
