TRYING NOT TO COUGH IN THE ELEVATOR

So i was gracing Brisbane city with my presence yesterday. I had to deliver some stuff and figured i would do a bit of window shopping. Ive had a very bad (and totally NOT contagious) cough for about 3 weeks. It kinda resembles the sound of like..an old man with lung cancer dying. Thats not funny.

Anyways, i was in the Queen street elevator with a bunch of people. And i felt a cough brewing..i tried to hold it in..so I was frantically drinking my boost juice trying to stop the cough. The grossest thing even is when strangers in a confined space sneeze/cough. I didnt want to be the gross coughing girl. UNDERSTANDABLY i might add.

I was doing pretty well restraining myself but the boost juice was soooo cold and it was giving me brain freeze...so i stopped drinking it. I felt it building back up. i thought i could do a little throat clearing cough. So I gave that a go. It came out as...how can i explain?? Ok you know that sound a little kid makes when they are debating something. like MMuuuUUUUuuuuUUUuummm.. just imagine that noise. but with no word. yep. Thats how it came out. like uuUUUUuuuuUUUUUUuuuUUUuu kinda like a donkey tho. that husky sound. So all of a sudden i was the psycho in the elevator.

You know that look that people do. The OMG WEIRDO look. I got that from about. oh lets say 8 or 9 people. how does a non crazy girl respond to making unusual sounds in the elevator???...with an overly aggressive "WHAT!?!?!?" ofcourse.

Im not crazy.

  4. I like the fact you know what a donkey deflating sounds like...
    I had a similiar situation once. but it was in high school and we were watching a debate and i felt a giant cough coming and i held back for as long as i could, waiting for the speech to finish so people would clap and i could cough but the kid just kept talking. Eventually I got up and attempted to leave the library at which point a teacher had a go at me for disrupting the debate...
    sheesh.
