Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML
Today, my five-year-old daughter told me she was going to throw up. I told her to rush to the bathroom. I followed her a few seconds later, only to find her sitting on the toilet and vomiting onto the floor. FML
Today, I was babysitting my baby cousin. I was lying on my back playing with her, while holding her up in the air. As I was doing that, I made cooing noises and funny faces to get her to laugh. She laughed and threw up in my mouth. FML
Today, after I finished giving my baby a bottle then burping her, I lifted her up and was bringing her in for kisses. As I was doing this, I felt this warm liquid hit my lips and slide into my mouth. I instantly pulled her back and she'd vomited. It took everything out of me not to vomit myself. FML
Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I came down with food poisoning of some sort. After hours of scrambling to the toilet to vomit and empty my bowels, my three-year-old daughter got fed up and is now trying to potty-train me. FML
Today, my daughter was feeling sick. She threw up on the floor. As I was cleaning up her vomit, she threw up on my head. Twice. FML
Today, I spun a two year old upside down, in circles. She wasn't remotely dizzy. I threw up on myself. FML
Today, my 9 year old shitblossom of a sister decided to wake me up by hocking a loogie into my mouth. FML
Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have never heard of that trick. Looks like it doesn't work.

All these people with either silly "cures" for hiccups or hopelessness. The reason you get hiccups is because your rib muscles and diaphragm (the primary muscles for breathing) get out of sync. To fix it you just have to get those muscles re-syncronized, which isn't actually all that hard because you do have conscious control over those muscles, you just probably aren't accustomed to paying attention to them. As a trained opera singer (who frequently gets hiccups) I just have to pay attention to breathing properly for a minute and the problem is solved. For beginning vocalists, hiccups are an opportunity to test if you understand breathing for singing. If you aren't a vocalist, holding your breath or taking deep breaths are things to try that have a high chance of success. You could also try inhaling like you're trying to expand like a blowfish and exhaling slowly a few times.

That never works. Holding your breath is the best way and there's no risk of barfing. I'm going to say you did this to yourself.

Just drink water you don't have to be upside down (always works for me)

I eat peanut butter when I have them. Water never works for me.

There's like dozens of ways to stop hiccups and you choose the one that requires the most skill and effort why?

Upside down?

Get them to hold your hand, tell them to look deep and sensually into your eyes, and to squeeze your hand every time they feel like they'll hiccup.
