Apparently you've never actually heard someone choke or have been choked before. It doesn't sound like a laughter. At all.

I am dying from this mental image xD

You're kidding right? There's this little thing called consent...if you touch someone, even it's to help them, without their permission, they can sue you for assault. Dumbass.

i completely admire your enthusiasm to help an individual in need' haha on the flip side, its pretty amazing youve mistaken this womens laugh for a 'choke'. two thumbs up man you made my day.

Today, while dining in a restaurant, some weirdo wrapped his arms around my torso and started humping me.

I was an emt. when you come upon an unconscious person or one in distress, ask "are you ok?" ask it exactly like that, as some people don't speak English, but even foreigners understand the word "okay."

are you even trained in first aid? if not then what you did would be normal. but if you are and actually know how to do abdominal thrusts, then you should know what choking would really sound and look like and you are a dumb@$$.

its called consent

have you ever heard of the universal sign?

YDI OP. you should get them to cough first, then firm patting on the back to dislodge it. You're a massive retard.
