Seriously. Manually mute your mic. This applies to everybody who uses hangouts or conferences with anything, ever.

It also makes a big difference to use a headset or headphones so the other person's audio is directed into your ears, not played out loud.
Most gamers I know do this via talk-keys. Very handy.
