Weirdest thing you have cried about.

I am just recovering from a full on sobbing session because the bin bag leaked into the bin so it needed cleaning.

Hormones make us cry over the strangest of things.

Anyone else found themselves a sobbing mess over nothing?

"I ran outside and pelted him with corn on the cob"

I have just woken DP up laughing at that.

I just had a sobbing session because my socks are blue and I wanted stripey ones, but they're in the wash. Hmm

I can't watch the video we took of DD on an empty traditional merry go round on holiday. Makes me really sad to see her going round on her own with all the empty horses and tea cups going up and down and round and round. Wtf?!

Saying that at 38 weeks that's pretty much all I've cried about so I think I'm doing ok.

I cried at I Robot.
I sobbed for hours when we came home because of those poor robots in the containers. Grin

I cried in the supermarket as I couldn't decide which pasta and pasta sauce to buy. There were too many options. Pathetic!!! x

This thread has made me giggle!
I cried in the car early pregnancy listening to Radioheads 'Creep' because he sings about not being special. "I wish I was special, you're so very special, but I'm a creep...." Why isn't he special, WHY DOESNT ANYBODY LOVE HIM?!
Totally bonkers response, snapped out of it when the song finished but I genuinely felt really sorry for him and cried accordingly!

I am so glad I started this thread. It has made me feel like a normal person as it's not just me who cries at things that don't make sense. Aren't hormones great?!

bouncingbelly if the radio version of 'creep' made you cry.

This is the one i was talking about- the man is homeless and singing this. it absolutely breaks my heart. he sings it like it was wriiten about him. when he sings 'i wish i was special' my eyes well up everytime. and when he sings 'what the hell am i doing here, i dont belong here' and 'i want you to notice when im not around' just kills me Sad

off to have a good sob...

BummyMummy77 · 27/09/2013 15:33

So we are on a 4 hour car journey (I'm on the edge already) and the other half has run over a dead skunk.

It smells like hell is trapped in the car with us and now the dog had starting drooling everywhere.

I'm posting on here and just grunting at dh trying to avoid having a Jean from Eastenders moment.

I just wanna take him home and give him a bath... What a talented man :-)

(no tears though, sorry to disappoint!)Xx

Fourbears · 27/09/2013 20:12

I cried when people in our street had taken all the wheelie bins in, except one. I thought it would be lonely with no other wheelie bins to talk to...
Grin

Also the first sign in hindsight that I was pregnant. I had been buying a birthday card for FIL and was walking back across the car park, away with the fairies when I nearly walked in front of a van. He beeped the horn to alert me, I jumped a mile into the air and went and sat in my car and sobbed and sobbed. Partly because it had been a shock and partly because I could have been so hurt and what would my family do then? He had parked nearly opposite me and could see me crying hysterically and was clearly feeling very uncomfortable. I felt guilty about that and it made me cry even harder. He eventually moved his van so he didn't have to look at me... Poor guy! I got my BFP a week later and went ooohhhh, now I understand. Gotta love these hormones!

KirjavaTheCat · 27/09/2013 20:27

Really wanting a bath and realising that DP hadn't cleaned it before leaving for work that morning, which meant I'd have to.

Threw a proper tantrum with angry tears.

Norfolknway · 27/09/2013 20:31

Just half an hour ago when I realised that we had no milk left for toddler's bed time.
I just put my head in my hands and sobbed on poor DD's bed! She made me cry more by asking what was wrong and if I feel better now - weep!

fancydressdiva · 27/09/2013 20:38

Paul Scholes's wotsit willy on league of your own last week.

I started laughing uncontrollably, got slightly hysterical and then for no reason just burst into tears.

Oh and I say down and watched bolt with the kids today and felt a lump at the end!

BummyMummy77 · 27/09/2013 20:59

I get upset about the bath thing too.

I've developed a new tactic to make sure he doesn't forget now. Every time he forgets I throw his toothbrush out of the window and he has to scramble around in the bushes to find it. :D

Beats going nuts and I enjoy the throwing. Then I enjoy the swearing whilst he tries to get it back. It's the little things in life......

CecyHall · 27/09/2013 21:02

I'm not pregnant now but when I was I had what is now referred to in our house as the frozen bread incident where I couldn't separate two pieces of frozen bread and went into absolute hysterics crying that if I couldn't even separate bread, how on earth could I look after a child!

SleepingWithABrokenHeart · 27/09/2013 21:03

I was driving and had dd and oh in the car. I took a glance in the mirror and noticed I hadn't drawn my eyebrows on (they're blonde) I made a joke to oh 'I'll just tell people I left them on my pillow'

This turned into a laughing fit, and within seconds of this happening I broke down into tears. I was crying so much i had to pull over so I could finish off lol.

The crying has settled now, I'm not too bad, but the oh I was sat having a wee, while mallin and oh said whats up? I had no fucking clue.. but it felt good.

Sarahmains40 · 27/09/2013 23:10

Just fancied a sausage sandwich so hubby went to shop with strict instruction of the type of sausage I wanted lol he came back with a Cumberland sausage which didn't cut it. I stomped my feet like a spoilt child and said its just not the right ones and burst out crying. He insisted on going bk to the shop but I didn't want to be ridiculous lol Blush

Felt embarrassed that I got to upset lol followed him in to the other room and said sorry. Poor fella can't do right for wrong. He just give me a hug. It's quite funny and silly now but 4 hours ago I felt pure rage and upset lol damn theses bloody hormones.

I seem to get so angry and annoyed lately like steam coming out of my ears annoyed Hmm

Xollob · 28/09/2013 01:12

I nearly cried yesterday because an old man in Starbucks was brushing the crumbs off the table into his hand. I suspect he was alone and it was his version of housework [sniff][hormones].

Xollob · 28/09/2013 01:14

Oh God - I'm on the pregnancy forum! 'Twas in active threads. I'm not even pregnant and haven't been for years - still feeling pathetic though Blush.

KarmaBiatch · 28/09/2013 01:19

BummyMummy your antics of throwing things has me in hysterics! Brilliant!

I have cried at numerous random things, but I recently cried in the middle of a packed shopping mall (in the states) because I got on the wrong escalator and had to go back up a level. Snivelling and snotting on an escalator in Nordstrom is not my proudest moment.

I have also cried doing the ironing, couldn't figure out why the shirts weren't looking as good as normal, and I'd 'ironed' 9 shirts without plugging the bloody iron in! Had to start all over, got through it all and then crumpled in to a sobbing heap on the floor.. the shirts looked nice though Grin

MrsVDB · 28/09/2013 07:47

My dh came home with the sausage roll I'd asked for but from wrong shop. Cue sobbing. Then sucked it up said thank you and started eating sausage roll. This sausage roll caused crumbs to fall on me. Cue more sobbing about stupid sausage roll.

On a recent flight we were the last to be offered our dinner choices and they had run out of the pasta I was going to choose. Cue sobbing and saying ill have no dinner. Poor air hostess went to business class to get me more options, which I still didn't want as had set my mind on the pasta. The whole (very long) flight she kept bringing me snacks instead. I felt awful

Hattie103 · 28/09/2013 12:09

I'm 4 weeks in and find this all hilarious. Only because my husband is going to suffer terribly over the next 9months. I'm bad enough when not pregnant and hormonal! Let the games begin!

This morning brought a lovely fit of hysterics because I was making porridge and when I poured the milk on the oats I suddenly realised I had drowned them. I was crying because I had 'killed' the oats and then couldn't eat stuff!

The Gmail advert for the Cambridge Satchel Company and Top Gear when 'the boys' did the 24 hour race in a ratty old BMW. I sobbed when JC crossed the finish line. Thankfully OH was at work and I was watching it on Dave in the day so until now it was my guilty little secret.
