So, my typical switch comes when someone has a question for me. I first give the interrupter a "one moment" gesture. I continue working on the code until I find a place where I feel comfortable pausing. I then let them know I am ready. They will ask their question. By the time they have finished asking their question, I have figured out what new headspace is needed, and I will ask them to repeat their question. For some reason the switch to trigger the new headspace cannot be flipped until the question is asked.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
