Stupid things said to me at work, #523
Me: Ugh I had a Charley horse this morning and now my leg is achy
Coworker: Eat some mustard, that'll instantly stop the cramp
Me: It's not cramping now, just sore
CW: Okay, but mustard

1) It's not going to stop the post soreness
2) Even if that actually works (heavy doubt) if I'm woken up by an intense leg spasm, there's NO WAY I'm safely getting *down the stairs* and across the house just to suck down mustard. Am I supposed to keep it by my bed??
@yirggzmb Mrs. Bat gets cramps all of the time and swears by it for instantly relieving the cramp. I can't speak to the soreness. Lucky for her she just yells, "BAAARRRRYYY! Mustard!!! Now!!" And off I go.
Mustard doesn't need to be refrigerated so you 'could' keep some by your bed if so desired.
Also they now sell pickle juice in bottles just for that. You know the stuff we throw away when the pickles are gone? I'm actually kind of mad about that one. IDK why.
@Batronyx I hate mustard so much though lol
I have tricks for stopping the cramp that are also more or less instant, discovered* during my teenage years when I used to get them all the time. Mostly just a particular stretching that works for me. Of I catch it in time, the post ache is way less (used to not be able to walk after) but never zero, y'know? Lol
