"is there really a way to fight this incivility?" In RL? I dunno. I say this because the dynamics b/w employer and employee isn't equal. When I choose to work with ppl, the no-arsehole rule applies. This type of situation you describe is probably #1 problem pg describes in non-technical problems that destroy startups. What I do know is defusing situations is important. You cannot reason with ppl who are aggravated. I suspect reasoning isn't on your perps minds. This (overt attention seeking, interrupting) could be seen as a tactic to garner resources.
