I used to interrupt and tell them to spit it out or get to the point or I'd wave my arm in circles and say 'and.......'. I had/have poor impulse control too.

I've been taking Adderall for awhile now, and I'm much more tolerant, but I haven't run into one of those type of people in a while, so I don't know how I'll react now.
