It depends on the circumstances how I act when being interrupted. But I have experienced more times than I can count being interrupted or ignored when talking to people at social events. That's okay and they only have to do that once and I'll shut up mid sentence, take up my phone and let them be. A couple of times someone implied I was rude and anti social for being on my phone. I don't give a shit. If you can ignore my while I'm talking directly to you, I don't understand why you can't do the same when I'm not.
