It's happened to you. You're deep in conversation with someone, actually thinking they are listening, when they turn to call to someone else, not just a wave or word, but turn to them as if you don't exist.
Yes, it's usually the stupider folk who do this, and you really should ask yourself, 'what the ras me a talk to this idiot for?' but of course, at the time, you are just stunned.
No matter how many times it has happened to me, I am always stunned by it. Not just the rudeness, but the fact that the person is simply far too stupid to follow conversation.
Now it is going to happen to you; most often you'll be talking to a male person whom you wrongly attributed with intelligence. It happens. As soon as he turns to someone else, stop talking. Stop speaking mid word. Stop talking, and very quietly start walking away.
If he calls to you, smile your best and say, "I finished what I had to say."
And don't ever waste your time engaging in conversation with people who have not the capacity.
