Today, I got the hiccups during an exam. I wasn't allowed to leave to get a drink of water, so I had to sit there and take my test while hiccuping violently. The teacher ended up sending me to the hall and ripping up my test for "distracting the other students". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. FML
Today, my professor tried to scare the hiccups out of me. Some pee came out instead. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML
Today, my school took part in a standardized state test. After finishing, I decided to take a nap, only to be awoken by the test monitor, who wanted me to leave. Apparently, I was ferociously farting in my sleep and was disturbing the people still taking the test. FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I came to school really sick because I had to take an important exam. After I finally finished, I accidentally sneezed on my answer sheet right before turning it in. The teacher refused to take it. FML
Today, I was in an exam and was chewing the end of my pen, stuck on a question. My mouth filled up with ink. I wasn't allowed to leave, so I had to sit for another hour with a foul-tasting blue tongue and a half-working pen. 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, I have a condition that when I get nervous, I get horrible diarrhea. I was taking an online math test worth a huge portion of my grade when I felt the rumble. Turning off the camera is an automatic fail, so I had to take my laptop to the bathroom with me. The teacher kicked me out of class. FML
Today, I woke up with bowel problems which have been causing me to violently pass wind every couple of minutes. I have to spend the next two hours sitting an exam in dead silence. FML

You should go to the principal about this. That’s not a reasonable reaction from your teacher, and you should get dispensation to retake the exam.

Holding my breath has never gotten rid of hiccups. The only way I can get rid of mine is by drinking water.

Drinking water doesnt help me but holding my breath for like 15 seconds stops it.

Everybody’s different. While it works for some people it may not work for others. Drinking water worked for a while with me, then it stopped working, so I had to move onto holding my breath. Things change. The body adapts.

This happened to me a lot as a kid. My hiccoughs sound weirdly like a mix between burping and almost vomiting so it's SUPER distracting. Teachers used to think I was doing it on purpose because other kids could burp on command. I never learned how to do that, but teachers never believed me.

I’ve had hiccups so strong, I almost knocked my desk over in class. Freaking out about it can make it worse, calm deep breathing can lessen the severity and frequency. Cold carbohydrates set me off - cold french fries, refridgerated bread, plain room-temp pasta.

I had a teacher who once told me to get out and not come back until they were gone. Came back at the end of the period to get my stuff and she was pissed as hell.... until I hiccuped in front of her. Your teacher sounds like an ass

I’ve never understood why people become teachers if they dislike kids.
