This happened to me very recently. It was a meeting with five people and I asked for some information. But when she started answering I realized I had phrased my question poorly, and as a result she wasn't really addressing my actual concerns. When I tried to interrupt to clarify my question, she slightly raised her voice to drown me out.
So when she concluded her explanation I had to go "sorry, what I actually meant to ask was ...".
