Different cultural styles sometimes conflict. I liked Deborah Tannen's "You Just Don't Understand". She describes this pro-interruption style as "competitive", whereas pro-taking-turns is "collaborative". Of course, if you have some people whose ruleset is "compete/joust", and some whose ruleset is "collaborate/defer", there'll be tension. Overall, Tannen reckoned that those who get the short end of the stick would benefit from different cultural styles being acknowledged, and why it might lead to conflict.
