I don't think I would have gone that far, but I would have been uncomfortable and annoyed.

I wonder if the great Mr. Vickers ever had an uncontrollable tickle in his throat?
Several years ago, I had plans with a group of friends to go see Dance Theatre of Harlem at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley. Trouble was, I was getting over a cold, which had a nasty lingering cough. I felt fine, but I sounded like Harvey Fierstein. I didn't want to cough and be a distraction during the performance. I went anyway. I loaded my pockets full of lozenges. It was fine.
