Today, whilst choking, my brother threw a cough drop at me instead of helping. FML

And next time he sneezes, throw a tissue box at him

But what if it was a magic cough drop

Since he was choking, I'm surprised your brother found the energy to throw, far less help you.

It's a grammar quirk. Because there was no subject given for "whilst choking", that phrase took on the sentence-nearest possible subject: "my brother". If you'd said "Today, whilst I was choking, my brother...", your sentence would've been clearer and the commenters would have had nothing to poke fun at. :)

To summarise, I was just being a pedantic ass.

he tried to catch a wild choking OP with a poké cough drop
