Okay, I have a life hack for you.
Last week, I got attacked by the most painful and persistent hiccups of my life at work. My co-worker heard me hiccuping and said, absently, “Got the hiccups?” and I said miserably, “Yeah.” And she said, “Prove it.”
And I glared at her, because why the fuck should I prove anything to her? And I waited for the next hiccup, which would prove that she was a dick and that I was, indeed, suffering from hiccups. And… that hiccup never came. And she smirked and said, “My daughter calls me whenever she has hiccups and when I ask her to prove it, she never can.”
And that was weird. But later that night, I got hiccups AGAIN, so I said to my boyfriend, “I HAVE HICCUPS.” and he said “Yeah, you do.” And I said, “No, ask me to prove it.” And he gave me a look like I was a crazy person, and I hiccuped again and insisted he ask me to prove it and he did and BAM. I couldn’t do it!
And a few days LATER, I got the hiccups WHILE DRIVING ALONE, and I said, out loud, “DUDE, I have the hiccups.” And then, in another voice, “PROVE IT.” And bam. Couldn’t do it.
The moral of the story? Apparently hiccups are little shits who refuse to perform on command.
There you go. Hiccup cure. I can’t promise it’ll work for everyone, but so far, it’s worked for me like six times.
You’re welcome.
Also, asking someone their middle name can help!
My two favorite hiccup cures that I’ve seen work several times each:
- “Hey, what color is an eggplant?”
- “When’s the last time you saw a squirrel?”
I don’t know why they work BUT THEY DO
In high school art class, I had hiccups and the girl beside me asked me in annoyance to stop. I was then so afraid to hiccup that I just…. stopped immediately.
So far the cures are:
- Performance anxiety
- Confusion
- Social anxiety
One time someone dared me to stop hiccupping so i did, just goes to show humans can do anything if it’s for a dare
