Today, after battling for hours to get just a little sleep before my early morning work shift, I finally began drifting off. Then I got the worst attack of hiccups in my life. FML

Today, I was giving a speech at a conference when halfway through I got a sudden case of hiccups. For the next 5 minutes I tried to finish my presentation while hiccuping uncontrollably. The audience found it hilarious and started cheering each time I hiccuped. I’m convinced no one could tell me what the speech was actually about. FML
Today, I got the hiccups at work no fewer than ten times in a row. I'm a cashier and not allowed to leave to go get water. Not only that, but I was called into the office to discuss my “drinking problem.” I don’t drink. FML

Today, as always, I get the hiccups ten times a day, sometimes more. They are very painful, and the only thing that makes them go away is water. The doctors have found no apparent cause. I hate my body. FML

I'm not sure if OP's username would actually help the situation, but whatever works.

Maybe scare yourself? Like move your steering wheel like your about to crash, then stop, and go back to driving safely.

Sleeping while driving should scare op enough.

Drink a bottle of nightquil, not for the hiccups though. Just get really high for no particular reason.

I know the feeling, it's happened to me many times! It's always those deep hiccups that actually hurt, too! They're not easy to get rid of so, water won't do it!

I always get hiccups that feel like they're realigning my ribcage. Hiccups are a nightmare.

It is your diaphragm that causes hiccups, not your throat. So f-ing your throat will probably have no effect on the hiccups.

Whenever I get the hiccups, I always get them with heartburn. I just drink a glass of milk and that seems to help. Maybe that could work OP.

Actually drinking water does help if you drink from the opposite side of the glass (put mouth on farthest side from you and bend over). My 90 year old client taught me that. Works like a charm!

Take a tiny nap in between each hiccup.

I'm sure you'll be fine. This was just a minor hiccup. Don't lose sleep over it. If it keeps happening though, I'd understand if you got tired of it.

If only, counting hiccups was as effective as counting sheep?
