Hiccups?

Ok, this is really quite peculiar...
I seem to get the hiccups at the same time.
For instance. Every evening when I get off the train and walk through the station towards the exit (with the intension of walking home) I get the hiccups. They're mild and don't last longer than the time it takes to leave the train station, but I am not exagerating when I say this happens every day.
Also, whenever I park the car in a shopping centre and walk through the car park I get mild hiccups which, again, will be gone by the time I get inside the shops.
I'm in no way nervous during these situations, and I don't think my breathing pattern changes particularly. What's going on? :?

Try this, but don't read the spoiler until after you have done it.
The next time you get hiccups, slowly roll your left sleeve up, and they should go away.
[spoiler:831bfd63d1] This is just a mindgame, but it worked for me, of course, it only works once.[/spoiler:831bfd63d1]
How long has this been happening? Have you noticed anything unusual or linked events when this starts happening?
:roll:
I'm serious, it works. After a while you don't even have to concentrate; you'll hiccup once and then they'll stop. My cousin thinks it's because you're bringing an unconscious action into your consciousness, and the you're not able to do it, but I don't know if I buy that. All that matters is that it works.
Just a joke. *sigh*
In all seriousness, drinking from the far side of the glass has never failed me.
I tend to get the hiccups when I'm really drunk. It *sucks*. I've had them last more than an hour at a time. Awful.
Sometimes I hic-, but I never -up.
Solutions such as exhaling deeply, repeated swallowing, drinking water, and holding your breath all have some measure of success because they apply forces to various parts in the affected system, and may dislodge whatever irritant is causing the spasms.
However, hiccups are not always caused purely by a physical irritant. Wiki says that infants can hiccup in the womb, and the theory is that this may be a muscular exercise for the diaphragm of infants as part of the developmental process.
Most likely though, its to do with your eating/digestion habits.
