If you're making enough noise to bother him, you are not in any danger, so shut the **** up! Hopefully, your school offers remedial water-drinking classes to teach you to be able to hydrate yourself without causing a geyser, a cacophony and a hullabaloo, all at the same time.

You had a thirst for water. He had a thirst for knowledge. But seriously OP I do honestly think that guy was pretty cruel.

that's crazy. he really didn't have to say that if you were choking. I mean c'mon

While it would have been nice if he'd shown some consideration, you could have as well. If you're coughing enough to disrupt people's ability to understand the lecture, the etiquette is to excuse yourself from the room as quietly as you can, not to sit there and choke in your neighbor's ear. This situation is no different than if you had a sneezing fit at a symphony concert or a screaming baby in a restaurant. So, while he might have been an ass about it, you didn't handle the situation well either.

Well you WERE being disruptive.

My cousin always says that to me when I choke, sneeze, or cough in front of him... Just ignore it, some people are so rude.

people are rude these days no manners , no pride in themselves , no helping other people . If OP had really disrupted the class then the teacher would of said something , so the guy next to her is a douche bag for just being a prick .

Wait...how do you know what choking to death feels like? :P

You= *cough cough* *CHOKE CHOKE* I think I'm choking *cough cough* Guy Beside You= *gives annoyed look* You= *cough cough* Guy Beside You= NO ONE CARES YOUR CHOKING SO SHUT UP

You shouldn't be so useless that you can't even drink water correctly. I say the guy is right for telling her to stfu
