To start a thread on embarrassing emotional outbursts. (LIGHTHEARTED)

[KungFuPandaWorks]

I'm not really a big cryer, so when I do end up crying it is over something absolutely ridiculous.

My favourite - A few years ago, I had been craving pie,chips, and mushy peas from my normal chippy. It had been closed for a while and had finally reopened. Bingo I can have a chippy tea. So off DH goes to get our tea and I ask for the mushy peas separately from the pie and chips. He comes back and as I'm unwrapping everything in an excited manner, my world came crashing down. They'd pour peas over my pie and chips. My DH walked into me sobbing over the food in kitchen because it was ruined now they had poured peas over it🙈😳

The recent one and the reason behind this post. We had popped round too PILs, ended up watching emmerdale. And I absolutely blubbed like a baby when the character died in the factory fire. My FIL looked at me like this and went "Kung you do know this isn't real and the character isn't dead in real life"

In between sobs I managed to choke out " I know. But it's just a soooo sad" all whilst MIL is patting my hand in a there there manner, and PIL is side eyeing me and looking at my DH then back at me.

Recently I've cried at;

• DD singing twinkle, twinkle.
• The advert about the poor abused donkeys
• A video of the US soldiers coming home and surprising their kids. One little boy ran so fast I thought his legs would fall off - I couldn't hold in the sobs.
• The new meerkat advert.
• The poor tiny signet I saw in the pond alone. I think it's mum abandoned it and it broke my heart.
• Animal planet and the mum lion defending her cubs.
• The fact that it's Wednesday not Saturday.
• Having no ice cubes left.
• The amount of maintenance needed to keep my lovely white blonde hair (took months to get it there) from going blorange.

Oh and the best one. Got a Chinese delivered, chicken chow mein being one dish and it arrived with no beansprouts. I was absolutely devastated.

Tbh, it's coming up to the first anniversary of my mums death, dd and I was technically homeless at the beginning of the month, have moved 6 hours away from everyone and everything I know to buy our beautiful new house and have only just got my furniture.
Plus my disc went the other day. So I think everything has conspired to the beansprout moment.
But still... ridiculous.

A few months ago I went to pick up ds from pre-K. I asked where a certain little girl had been recently and one of the teachers told me she'd gone back to live with her asshole drug addled Mother and abusive Father the other side of the country (she'd been with her lovely grandparents). I started bawling and so did the three teachers in the room! The kids were all

The abused donkey advert gets me too.

I cried because I couldn't put the bottom sheet on the bed, each corner popped off when I tried to put it on. I was so tired. Wah.

I used to tease/laugh/roll my eyes at my mum who would cry at everything even ground force (the surprise gardening show) I really thought it was pathetic... Cue 3 kids of my own later, guess who's the one doing all the pathetic crying over everything and nothing with the kids guessing how long it takes me to cry!!!! 😂 😂 😂

They'd pour peas over my pie and chips.

You need mushy pea fritters my love.

I recently blubbed my way through the last few chapters of Mr Stink, my voice getting higher and more wobbly. I swear I was almost wailing through some of it 😂 DC and DH politely pretended not to notice.

I'd cry too if my bloody chips and pie had been pea'd all over.

Pregnant and hormonal. DH went to get a noodle takeaway but they used the wrong noodles. I sobbed quietly into my box and he's never let me live it down

I get really emotional inside but I do NOT cry, so imagine the horror on my mum and sisters faces the other day when they left me for about 2 minutes and came back to my proper full on sobbing! They were at my house, sister had gone to check on DC and mum had gone to get a drink, I picked up my phone and saw a video of a rescue dog who had just given birth, and one by one she was taking her puppies over to her foster carer and giving them to her to hold and then going to get the next one, finishing up with her holding them all and the dog sitting up against her and having her head stroked

I couldn't tell them why I was sobbing, I just passed my phone over with a video on, but that made me worse because I could hear it! I sobbed for a good 10 minutes then I was calming down and I would think about it and start again! "Humans dont deserve doooooogs" 😭

It posted too soon
The dog just looked so proud, and she was so trusting of this human she barely knew after being abandoned by the people she loved and losing the home she knew 😭 I'm welling up just remembering it! I was saying things like this between sobs -
Humans don't deserve dogs
She looks so proud
How could they do that to her, she's so loving, AND she was pregnant
She's going to make a great mum
Wait, what if all the puppies get adopted and she doesn't
Everyone wants babies, but who couldn't love her
She's so trusting even though her family broke that trust
She wants her babies to get cuddles too
It's not faaaaaair
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

DM and sister were stunned and just let me get it out and stayed a bit longer than planned, they've both since checked that there isn't anything else going on, but it was 100% the video

I'm pregnant and crying at some of these

I was referred to hospital after I'd noticed a change in my breast. I thoroughly convinced myself it was nothing to worry about, so I attended the appointment on my own, after which I was told it was likely to be suspicious. I went alone again to get the test results and was told the full extent (very not good). I was FINE.

I'd been prescribed codeine and morphine at that appointment, and took a taxi home.

Still hadn't cried.

Realised I'd left all the drugs I'd been looking forward to in the cab, then howled like a baby

@KungFuPandaWorks hahaha emotional is my middle name....

Last Christmas Eve Eve (23rd) my partner came back from doing his last min shopping with best friend. Handed me my Italian BMT from subway (with Southwest Sauce of course) while I was packing my case for going away for Christmas.
He then starts telling me his best friend (who's with my best mate) had gotten the gf all this stuff - starts listing it.
Now we had previously agreed we weren't going mad on presents last year as I'm in college and neither of us really needed anything that was going to break the bank. Immediately I start panicking, saying he better not have done the same as we'd agreed to go easy on presents this year etc etc. He's telling me repeatedly he didn't, all the while laughing, I wouldn't believe him, started panicking that the big bollox was having me on and he had only gone and followed said best friends lead and had bought an arse load of stuff for me and I'd be only giving him the one gift. Cue the tears, from absolutely god knows where🤦‍♀️ Into my subway BAWLING with my mouth open, all contents showing of course. ' I only have one present for youuuuuuuu 😭'
He was standing in the doorway absolutely gobsmacked, poor lad didn't know whether to comfort me or run, still insisting me he didn't go mad on presents.
He didn't.

Less than 3 weeks later we found out I was pregnant, and sure didn't that explain it all 😂 2 weeks to go! 👶🏻

I cried down the phone to BT. Well I say cried, more like hysterically sobs.
They'd been messing us around for weeks, we had no landline or broadband. They'd missed appointments, lied and said they'd turned up when they have, all those sorts of things. It all came to a head one day and I remember sobbing down the phone to the terrified sounding girl on the other end. Funnily enough they did get my connection sorted pretty soon after that.

I had a full meltdown at a bus stop when I was about 7 months pregnant. DH and I were on our way to town for me to pick up my new phone and get my hair done. I'd already cried that morning after a disastrous driving lesson so I was really looking forward to having a bit of me-time - specifically, the complementary latte and Lotus biscuits that I knew I'd get at the hairdresser's.

The bus didn't come. We were waiting and waiting and I realised that there was no way, by this point, that we'd get into town for my appointment time.

I rang them to cancel, and they were lovely but asked me to pay the cancellation fee, which was half of the appointment's cost. I did, but my voice was starting to shake. Once I got off the phone, DH looked at me and said, a bit dubiously, 'Are you okay?' and I completely lost it. I was just sobbing on his shoulder - mostly incomprehensibly about my lost latte - and saying 'I just want to go home', but when he said 'Alright - we'll go, then' it made it even worse because 'I need to get my new phoooone'.

I pulled myself together. We had Nando's. I got my phone. But I wasn't happy about it.

I still mourn that latte.

"Ive now howled twice watching Eleven read Hoppers letter, then Peter Gabriel swells in with his perfect rendition of Heroes and the tears just heave out of me, it honestly makes me breathless*

Oh dooooon't Crinkle, I only watched it last night and I was proper, big, snotty sob crying. :(

My driving instructor is probably still in therapy following my reaction to passing my test on the fifth attempt. In my defence they were happy tears.

Many years ago my OH was posted back to the UK ( military ) and I went to the doctor with a swollen painful elbow. My English was passable, but not great.
I couldn't think what the English word for elbow was so I was sat full on sobbing my eyes out, complete with snot and everything, while pointing to my elbow. The doctor just looked shocked.
I blamed it on nerves.

That reminds me, @StCharlotte - when I got the results of my final nursing exam, to become a Registered General Nurse, we all collect d our results together, and I cried so much when I read I had passed that my whole set thought I had failed!
