Today, I was drinking from a water bottle while in a lecture. The water caught in my throat and it felt like I was choking to death. Instead of asking me if I was okay or trying to help, the guy sitting next to me told me to shut up. FML

Today, I was drinking a bottle of water. My friend came up from behind and scared me, causing me to inhale and choke on the water. Lacking air, I passed out. I awoke to him on the ground laughing his ass off. I almost drowned drinking a bottle of water. FML

Today, I took a big sip of water while on a bus. It went down the wrong pipe, causing me to cough and hack loudly. The old woman sitting across from me asked if I was OK. Jokingly, I said, "Just dying." She replied, "You too, huh?" FML

Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML

Today, I was at the pool, casually flirting with one of the lifeguards. He said that he would gladly give me CPR, in the event that I needed it. I laughed and thanked him, stating that it was a sweet idea, even though I wouldn't be needing assistance. I then choked on my bottled water. FML

Today, I was choking on an apple and asked my sister to get me some water. She got some. Then drank it herself. FML

Today, I was sitting at lunch and started choking on a chip. I couldn't breathe and nobody tried to help me. Having to take matters into my own hands, I reached for a juice box that belonged to someone sitting next to me. After I could breathe again, they informed me that they had mono. FML

Today, it's April Fool's day. I had to take a CPR class, and everything was going well. We took a break and I went to get a drink of water and started choking. They thought I was making fun of the class, and made me leave. FML

Today, I began to choke on a large pill while my mom was in the room. Hoping that she would help me, I began to make a lot of noise. After she completely ignored me, I threw my body over a chair, saving my life. At this point my mother asks me to shut up because she can't hear her friend. FML

Today, I was sitting in the break room at work eating lunch when I started to choke. My face turned red and tears began welling up in my eyes. Two of my coworkers were there. They began to argue over who would have to give me the Heimlich maneuver rather than helping. FML

Dude, it was a glass of water, chill the **** down. You weren't about to die, he probably knew you were just being over dramatic.

Completely agree. Its ****** water, not food, its gonna pass, not sit in your throat. Yea it may have went down wrong or whatever the case but so what, you werent about to die. Op was way to over dramatic, yea it feels like you choking but you're fine 10 seconds later.

OP is so selfish for almost dying, disturbing that guy during a lecture.

Reminds of the time at my birthday party, when I started choking on a veggie burger while simultaneously laughing after my best friend told a funny joke. All my friends decided to ignore me. I choked away, still laughing uncontrollably, until I finally coughed it up. So much for friends. I feel your pain, OP.

You should have left the room when gagging while a lecture was in progress.

A baby can drown in less than an inch of water. Are you a baby? You were taking a drink from a bottle and choked. I think you'll survive.

Simple solution: shove the bottle down his throat.

OP, all the water did is "go down the wrong way," which is to the lungs rather than the stomach. You're okay. Luckily, your body has the cough reflux before too much water gets into the lungs to cause more serious complications. Unfortunately, when you were born into this world no one guaranteed it would be kind. Sorry you had an apathetic ass sitting next to you. Next time sip the water. Don't gulp. It reduces the chance of you "choking" again.

I'm glad someone addressed the water "getting stuck in the throat" premise. This girl needs to take a science class and relearn the three forms of matter and which ones can actually get stuck...
