Had an interview today that turned me off completely. I corrected the interviewer's mistake, and things went sideways. She got upset, then said she doubted I could even do the job. Now they want my references, but I don't even want this job anymore. What's a good way to say no thanks if they contact me again?

Wow, I am shocked someone said that to you in an interview. Honestly, it sounds to me like you dodged a bullet. If they contact you I would just tell them you already accepted another offer and thank them for their time.

Dont be too hard on yourself. There are some degenerate interviewers out there that have no people skills and act like god. Just ignore em until you find the right one.

I'm really curious what the mistake was, and how you worded the correction? There is no need to everything they refusal to proceed, just be polite and direct. "Thank you for the opportunity, however I will not be proceeding with the interview process."
