Me and my fiancee were walking to the entrance, and some dude wearing headphones was in front of us. I took a sip of water as we were getting to the door, but then a drip of it went down my throat and I started quietly choking on it as he held the door open for me.

Normally I'm big on saying "thanks" for door-holding, but since the dude had headphones on and I was choking on the water, I made the snap decision to not bother trying to say anything. Unfortunately the guy turned around and made dead-on fucking eye contact with me, before continuing on his way. I was like "shit" and felt bad, and continued on to the check-in desk, but the dude was standing there waiting for me when I got there.

"...you're welcome."
"Oh, sorry about that, I was drinking water, it went down the wrong pipe."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, I started coughing."
"Mm-hmm."
"Well, thank you...?"

Guy gives me a funny look and walks away. We started going upstairs, but as we're walking up, I notice him talking to someone, then points over in our direction as we're walking, and laughs. Feels bad man.

Also the guy was Black, which made it even more awkward.

To demonstrate that it made things more awkward than it would if we were the same race.

Because I imagine in his mind, he probably thought it was a race thing, hence why he didn't seem to believe me when I said I was choking on my water.

why the fuck do people expect an audible "thanks"? A simple head nod is more than enough. You're holding a door not curing cancer.

How do you know what he was "probably" thinking?
