Elise, if you only get a single breath (of pure nitrogen), then a lot of the time I think you will restart breathing because of the continuing metabolism. But if you're in that atmosphere for a little while (only a couple of breaths), then there's not enough carbon dioxide being produced to restart the reflex. I'm not sure if you can force yourself to continue breathing if you're in a nitrogen atmosphere, but it's odourless and colourless and all that, so you'd almost certainly not notice.
Oh god I'm a nerd.
And I completely agree about the people who let you make all the effort, and you're never quite sure what's going on with them. I tend to avoid them these days, and only go with their invitations if I've got nothing else doing. I generally give people a chance to start with, but if they mess me around, then I become very ambivalent.
