Up I Hic

Having the hiccups while trying to works as a cashier is... let's just say amusing at best.

"Good evehic!ning! Did youhic! find everything ohic!kay? Your tohic!tal is $24hic!.97, excuse me, that was supposed the be $249.97. Have ahic! goodhic! night!"

Finally got rid of them only to have them return as I was rounding up carts from the parking lot. hic!

Of course, there's no way I can sleep like this, so I'm up for a while.

I don't know if sharing cures for hiccups works, cuz I've often wondered if it's just one person's method of dealing with them and they're as individualized as fingerprints. That said..

I find that drinking water very slowly works.. just little sips and swallows, lots of them, and don't let up for at least 30 seconds. Works for me, of course YMMV.
