After catching myself getting all choked up and crying at the fact that I saw someone being hugged (they were possibly crying too) on my way to lunch and last week at the fact that all the cars in a traffic jam moved out of the way for an ambulance...I ask you ladies, what are the most bizarre things you've found yourself crying over?
Hormones are a crazy thing and I'm crying at the slightest things now - oh the joys of pregnancy

Not me but my lovely batshit MIL.
Anyone remember shadrag on emmerdale?
When he died we were all finishing off a chicken dinner at PIL's house. MIL sobbed for an hour in earnest into her gravy until FIL politely suggested she might like a hot bath and he'd bring her a cup of tea .
Even now when I have a hormonal moment, DP always says "Bloody hell, has Shadrag died again?" which never fails to make me snort laugh

Okay this is really terrible and I've NC'd for this!
I had an argument with DH durin my first pregnancy because he was hoovering the house but he wasn't doing it right. He was hoovering before tidying. I'd told him this is the incorrect way round many, many times. I somehow got so hysterical he shouted back at me a bit, and for some reason I felt threatened and called the police. My DH is one of the most gentle souls I can think of and would never hurt me, to this day I still don't know how the situation escalated to the the point of me calling the police.
After a few seconds of being on the phone to the emergency operator I realised how stupid I was being, and said, don't worry actually, I was just being silly, nevermind, etc. But of course they still have to send someone round in these situations in case you're in danger. So the police blue-lighted it to our house and I then had to convince them that I genuinely was fine and that it was just my pregnancy hormones. The male police officer took DH into the kitchen for a chat and the female one spoke to me in the living room while I sat sheepishly clutching a teddy bear like a deranged child. Luckily the female police officer seemed to understand. God it was so embarrassing. The information was also passed on to the health visitor so I had to explain the whole thing to her too. 
I got a few extra visits from her as I think she was a bit worried about my mental stability but luckily after giving birth I was absolutely fine and didn't suffer from any depression, anxiety etc. It must've just been the crazy pregnancy hormones!

When a parcel wasn't delivered correctly and I'd have to drive to the depot to collect it. I rang to complain and ended up sobbing down the phone to the depot manager who got the delivery driver to come back that evening

Watched Toy Atory whilst pregnant with DD1 and cried because my childhood rabbit teddy was in the loft. Was so hysterical that's she would think I had abandoned her that I made DH go up and get her out for me.
She now lives in DD's room

Loooooong time ago (DS is 11 soon)....
I only like toast that's been vaguely waved at the grill. Went to the butty shop near work & asked for two lightly done toast. First pass through the rotating toaster thing and toast comes out perfect. I told the woman behind the counter that was great thanks.
She stuffs it back through, ignoring me totally, saying 'that's not proper toast. I know what toast should look like'. It came out again v dark brown & smelling like burned bread (smell makes me feel sick at the best of times).
I told her I couldn't eat it like that & she started getting huffy about how it was perfect, that's how she has her toast, toast should be dark brown like that. So I burst into tears. Embarrassing, snotty tears.
The manager was horrified, came over and sat me down, made me fresh (perfect) toast on the house. All the while I was apologising for making a fuss and not wanting to get the woman into trouble.

Brushed out my very curly hair before I hopped in the shower to wash it, sobbed in a heap on the bathroom floor when a knot snagged and it hurt

Many moons ago now...
I read Pat Conroy's "Beach Music" during pregnancy with dc1. In the story there is a dog called chippy, who dies.
The thing is, the story is that the bloke has lost his wife and is bringing up his child alone and he talks about the great dog chippy as the hero of a story about his wife. Then the grandmother says the dog was just a dog, nothing special. But when he tells the story of the great dog chippy and how he tied to save his mistress - something which didnt even happpen - I sobbed like a baby.
My DH still laughs about the great dog chippy. 20 years later.

I cried when DH came home from Tescos empty handed after I sent him out for strawberry nesquick. Sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, then got on Ocado and did an entire unneeded grocery shop to come the next day, just for the 500g tin of strawberry nesquick (which I had about 4 glasses of until my craving subsided and then the rest went in the bin when we moved months later ).
