Hey all, OP here. To clarify a few things: it was at the airport lounge, the mother and son had a double couch together and I had a single chair next to the son. The water bottle was disposable and on a clearly visible pocket in my backpack. I still have no idea what I did wrong.

Mothers are very over protective you don't know what there thinking.
Yeah, I'd bet she's one of those health nuts so she doesn't approve of water bottle use.
Ya, but I think this mother just has a case of stupid parenting

Actually, she said that because water bottles are not allowed on air planes.
Water bottles are definitely allowed on planes
It was probably the hand that was playing pocket pool that concerned her not the one holding the water bottle.
Mother of all trolls! no strange thinking
You're allowed to have a water bottle as long as you purchase it after you go through the security checkpoint.

Probably think u were chewing
Where exactly did chewing come from again ?
He cannot be sitting next to her. The woman clearly said "Promise me........the man next to u just did" . If he is next to the kid, he cant be sitting next to the woman, unless of course in a circular table !
Op: *Gets up to walk away* Mom: "Son, don't follow such bad example" Op: *turns head back wondering what he did* Mom: "Look at that, that's what I want you to never do" Op: *leaves in a fit of rage* Mom: "See son, the moral of this story is that the act of trolling is a great power. With great power, comes great responsibility. Use it well"
Maybe she's a bit drunk...
No, he sat down next to the child. What an awful person.
Well maybe she wasnt talking about you? There's a lot of people in an airport...
She said "the man next to you." OP is the only person besides the mother next to him
How do you know that OP is the only man next to them?
Because unless the chairs are lined up three-dimensionally, everyone is only entitled to two people next to them. The kid's mom and OP are next to the kid, and I doubt the mom was talking about herself. Or at least, that's how I pictured it.
They could have 4 to a row.
There could be 100 seats in the row and it wouldn't matter. There's still only 2 people directly next to the kid; the mother and OP.
Next to you could also mean two, three seats over. Not everyone is absolutely literal in their speech habits.
Finally, some common sense on this thread. Thanks for being smart, #110.
It doesn't say the kid & his mom were sitting. OP could have sat down next to where they were standing. Thus, several other people could have been "next to" the kid. Also, if they were all sitting, it doesn't say that the mother was next to the son, she could have been across from or behind him...js

The sad part is that they were correct the first time.
No. "A lot of people"is a plural subject. He was right to correct it. However, on his profile picture he doesn't need parenthesis because the order of operations.
They are a lot of people in an airport?
No, you're incorrect. The comment this person meant to reply to was "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what there thinking." If it was correct, it would have said "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what they're thinking." They're meaning "they are". So if we put "they are" into the sentence it should say "Mothers are very over protective you don't know what they are thinking." There represents a location. They're means "They are" Their takes possession of something. like...it's theirs.
Maybe she's just paranoid
That's when you start giggling and muttering under your breath.
And bring out a suspicious looking box. Though that might get attention from more than just mom!
And leave your bags unattended!
Wow, people are just extremely rude. Maybe you did something self consciously?
I agree, maybe you were digging for Gold in your nose, without realizing it.
