do you ever just think back to a person you briefly encountered in your life? could be someone you had an intense conversation with online once, or a stranger who said something profound to you in the grocery store, or some random jerk you just really wish got their comeuppance. I think about people like that a lot.
the one I wonder about most, I think, is the guy who was next to me in the emergency room when I had to sit there for three and a half hours waiting for them to stitch up my wrist after an accident involving a glass door and tacos. he had been hiccupping for four days straight and was so angry about it.
he kept yelling at the nurse about how the muscle relaxers weren’t working and how he couldn’t go to work or make love to his wife while hiccupping but it was interspersed with little hics and all I could think of was “well my hand is basically ruined forever now but at least I don’t have the hiccups”. It was bizarre and hilarious and when the nurse wasn’t there trying not to laugh at him he would just sit in frustrated silence behind his privacy curtain until that little hic happened and then he’d whisper “…damnit” and he was just so angry about his hiccups.
I wonder if he’s ok.
I’m bringing this back bc hiccup man always makes me feel better
Hiccup man is great but I kind of want to hear the taco story
