I have always viewed people finishing my sentences as they are growing impatient. When I think they are growing impatient it adds stress to the situation, which makes me stutter worse. At work it is especially bad, and when it starts happening more and more, I take the time to tell people to just let me finish. Most of the time just the quick "Talking about the elephant in the room" is enough to alleviate the situation for a while.
