A comment on “Let her speak please”. Parent comment
Good conversationalists will match each other's way of speaking and come to some common ground. It usually happens really quickly.
So you'll know when someone is done, or you'll be able to interject ideas into what they're saying.
It isn't rude, in my opinion, to interrupt someone in this way.
"So, I saw the craziest thing the other day when I was driving by the coffee shop..." "The one on main?" "Yes, that one!"
Etc...
It's called a conversation. It'd be really weird to save your questions until the end in a setting like that.
That said, let people speak. Listening is more important than talking.
