I was so mad. Never forgot that, though.
Then, this other time, we were in another meeting, and this woman just butts into the room and falls at the main speakers feet and breaks this really expensive jar of perfumed ointment over him, and starts smearing it all over his feet, and his hands, and...well...you can imagine my indignation. First of all I couldn't believe the sheer waste, and then, of course, this wasn't on the agenda of the meeting at all...I mean...why couldn't she have arranged a private meeting or something...It was all so annoying. I wanted to ask her to leave immediately, but, you know, the main speaker would have none of dat....
Some people just have no sense of decorum!!!

All interruptions are not created equally!
Guy busts into a meeting accusing the preacher of stealing his Twinkies when they were back in high school is a little different from a guy busting into a meeting shouting that the place is on fire.
Back to your examples. The first one is self-centered. The second one is Jesus-centered.
Like I said, all interruptions are not created equally.
