If I am running the carpet machine, and I'm on a deadline, and someone interrupts me repeatedly with requests for things that can easily wait, and I've stopped the machine and respectfully answered all the questions and followed with polite requests to not be interrupted, then when that person comes back, is it rude to say, "I'm asking politely that you let me finish my job, but what I mean is, 'don't interrupt unless the house is on fire?'"
Asking for a friend...
