I hate the hiccups. I once got a horrible case of them while in the middle of a job interview. Blech. I had to excuse myself until they went away, which was not until about 20 min later. The person interviewing me was waiting to go for lunch until we were done. I felt bad. But it was the hiccups fault!
My sister, who's a nurse, taught me this trick, and it works every time for me. Get a glass of water and a straw. Standing up, bend at the waist(like you're gonna touch your toes) and drink 3 swallows. Not sure why it works (something to do with contracting your diaphragm (sp?) ) but it always does the trick for me. Thank God, b/c when I get the hiccups, they are always the kind that are painful and last for what seems like forever.
Someone told me to ask the person their middle name and it'll make the hiccups go away. Crazy I get hiccups when I eat carrots or pretzels. Anything hard. Maybe it's because of the air you suck in trying to bite into them? I have no idea.
I had the hiccups last night while I was smoking a cigarette, and whenever I would take a drag I would hiccup. It was really annoying.
I just had the hiccups when I got out of the shower. Another tale someone told me is that when a child has the hiccups it means they are growing. Anyone ever hear that? I must not of had them very much as a child. I stopped growing at 5'1
