I'm sick of going to talks where the speaker gets interrupted 5+ times for somebody/ies else to share their stream of consciousness questions. If it's a seminar for outside your lab, make it accessible by letting the speaker explain their slides in order without interruptions.

Don't invite them if you'd rather give a talk yourself. Don't invite them if you can't manage the audience. And certainly don't invite people from outside your lab, who aren't zoomed into questions or feel like it's "just a chat", people who came to listen to the speaker not you.

Replying to @o_guest
One of the most irritating ones I've noticed is at conferences where people ask questions in such a way that they're unanswerable in the 2 minutes of time given, and are just designed to make the speaker look stupid

At least it's not an interruption, but yeah, this is another type of BS. Not really conducive to academic debate. More like mindless point scoring.
