Can we have another 'stupid things I've cried over' thread please...

[OnTheRunAndUpTheDuff]

...because yesterday I cried because we ran out of raisins.

Proper full-on sobbing. I wasn't trying to cook something with them or anything. It wasn't some kind of culinary emergency. I just noticed we had run out.

Can anyone make me feel less pathetic by sharing their own stupid crying stories?

Ta.

I have been doing this strange thing since being pregnant - uncontrollable cackling laughter that slowly turns into violently hysterical laughter which swiftly morphs into crying and laughing...and then ends up with just crying and hardly able to breathe, mascara running down my face and coughing my guts up ! I completely fall apart !

The 3 times this has happened -

My DP told me a story (before I was pregnant) of when I sent him to buy a pedicure voucher for his SIL from a tiny but swanky nail shop on his bike, he was trying to read the menu outside, whilst holding his bike, whilst on the phone to me, then proceeded to trip over his bike and fall flat on the floor in front of the window of the packed nail salon, all the women inside saw him and were laughing....then he had to walk in there and ask for a voucher. Fast forward a few months and we were driving past this nail salon...I remembered and pictured this happening and burst into the most hysterical, evil and relentless laughter imaginable !! Just laughing in his face !! He was driving and stared at me like I had lost my marbles, then started laughing at me....I couldn't stop then it slowly morphed into the sobbing !

It happened again when he tried to roll off the sofa in a cool way and ended up falling flat on his face on the floor.......

And it happened last night when I was trying to describe to him a type of chicken wing that I was craving and got stuck on the word "battered" "battered" "battered" ...then completely fell apart laughing and then sobbing.

I nearly had a moment this morning. DS (4) was being his usual boisterous self then asked for a cuddle, said "I like you mummy", then while he was hugging me, asked "Will we last forever?" I just hugged him back and all I could say was "Yes."

Also, handy hint, if you're feeling a bit tearful anyway, DO NOT go to Mumsnet Classics, then read through all 24 pages of the 'Lines in books that make your throat catch'. Big, ugly sobs. It's not that the bits of books are stupid things to cry over, just stupid that I chose to read over 500 excerpts of 'sad bits' and expected to be OK afterwards.

I cried when my cat stood on my foot too hard...

I cried when I put my DH's jumper in the wash because it said wash at 30 and it came out completely ruined and full of holes.... Was devastated and felt so guilty ! He was lovely and didn't care at all about the jumper.

I cried at Up.. Obviously. Wailed at DH "I don't want you to get old and die and leave me all alone!" He sobbed the same back to me ! That movie.....

I cried at an article about lonely men getting duped thinking they were getting an amazing new job & new life as a farm custodian in the outback but really they got there & were murdered and had all of their worldly possessions stolen by these con- artists... Their hopeful, trusting faces in the photos accompanying the article was what got me... Was absolutely in floods... DH had to take the paper away and stop me reading the rest of the article.

I cried that my DH was at his friend's house having a roast dinner & I was missing out, even though I was 10 weeks pregnant, in bed at the time & didn't want to go in the first place.

Eepie, you sound a lot like me. I've been doing the hysterical laughter into crying thing too

Just cried at all the Dutch presenters getting excited about the speed skating in which they have a world champion

I find it is just so random what brings on a flood of tears. It's not normal stuff either!

Asked daughter for a drink of her coke in the car. In passing it to me the bottle got dropped and it went everywhere. Bawled my eyes out. Poor kid thought it was her fault and asked how many months I wanted to ground her for :-(

I cried because I had to take the kids to a birthday party and I just wanted to stay in my PJs all day.

I am now crying at the farm custodian story and resisting googling. Those poor men. They just wanted a new start.

DAMN, you beat me to it!

Was about to post about my silly cry today. I asked DH to wipe DS face after dinner tonight and he replied "of course babe". I promptly began sobbing uncontrollably because it meant DS wouldn't get a rash (he had hand, foot and mouth recently).

I was all "My poor baby had a rash and now he wont get another one WAAAHHHHHHhHhHhHhHhhHhHhHhHhhhhhhh....".

Weirdo.

Another Winter Olympics cryer here. Had a breakdown watching the ('just-sob-so-sob-beautiful') 15 year old Russian figure skater. She really was amazing.

I cried in Sainsburys yesterday because I couldn't decide which type of potatoes to buy.

DH started watching The Walking Dead last week. I started sobbing about ten minutes in because of all the poor dead people (yes, I do realize they're zombies ) then became inconsolable and had to leave the room when main character realized his family had gone. Have not yet attempted episode 2.

this is the best thread in have ever read! im so glad I'm nit alone.
I was watching paul ogrady animal orphans - the title alone should have made me change channel. There was a wee blind penguin and all the other penguins picked on it and it had to get put to sleep. omg I was heart broken texting everyone I knew to tell them penguins are horrible bullies! dh thinks im nuts.
and my dd who is 2 asked me the other day if I was happy? fuck me I just dissolved. . .

Last night I had to get DH to take over dinner because I couldn't possibly cope with the pressure of taking baked potatoes out of the oven and putting left over chill on them. He cut the potatoes the 'wrong way' and I stormed out of the kitchen. When he brought me my dinner, I burst into uncontrollable tears because he brought me a small fork! How could he be married to me all this time and not know I hate small forks!!!!

Thankfullly even I knew it was all a bit mental so ended up doing the snorting laugh cry and sounding like an asthmatic walrus

I often get the crazy nut lady laughing that can very easily topple over into tears.

We were at the cash register in the gap when I farted and stunk the place out. Instead of playing it cool, I completely lost it and laughed so much there were tears streaming down my face. I walked away and left dh to deal with the shame of being married to a stinky nutter. I stood out side in the middle of the mall howling uncontrollably. Im still amazed security didn't call the men in white coats!

The rubber duck in my bathroom looked a little sad yesterday.

I've been leaking all day so far. Started with the Olympic slope style, ended up in sobs because boyfriend had found my favourite spoon in the garage and put it back in the cutlery drawer (we moved house yesterday, and were trying to rationalise our piles of unnecessary crap, he thought my spoon waa crap.. cry..)

I was laughing at how silly you all are and then I looked up the lyrics to White Wine in the Sun. Now I'm lying here blarting. I don't even have kids! Sillytown, population me, I guess.

I cry at the MasterCard advert every Christmas - you know the one in the airport - and I've still never been able to watch Dumbo all the way through. I also once cried because DH used too much washing up liquid!!!

I cried my eyes out at the pedigree adverts the other day.... haha pregnancy hey!!!

Anytime anyone is remotely teary on TV, I am in tears....

I bought my hubby some venison burgers from the market and then really fancied one so suggested wr have them for lunch. He put them in the oven and I got then out put one each on the plates when dh said oh do you want one? I burst into tears- ended up having half. Was mostly upset because we could have cooked another he just didn't ask!

I'm six months pregnant.

I cried three times watching Billy Eliot. Uncontrollably when the miners went back down the mines.

I cried watching a smoking cessation advert. Random, as I don't know anyone who smokes.

I welled up watching people queue for a bus during the London tube strike.

I sobbed watching a group of roller-blading Santas. I felt so emotional thinking about Christmas and their camaraderie.

Today I spent a good hour sobbing after sending an uncooked meal back in a cafe.

Sobbing at 'Call the Midwife'.
From the beginning.
Before Alec even had his accident.
My baby is 19 months.
I am not pregnant

I cried because I had lost a hideous court case to do with DCs, am heavily pregnant, awful round ligament paid leaving me incapacitated for a whole day, DP been away for a month, behind at work, lonely (despite numerous in laws who I love helping out), CAMHS due round to see DC1, lunch needed to be on table but hurt too bloody much to make a sandwich. Emotionally, mentally and physically wrecked. DC2 tells HV sorrowfully "mummy did cry because she tired". Yeah, that too. OK on reflection was justified in a bit of a sob. And only on phone to DSIL. Who rang DP, who rang MIL, who came over and helped me out all afternoon. Which makes me feel tearful.

I never ever normally cry.

missing me too all the way through and after- absolutely uncontrollable. Dh was out and when I told him he said why would you watch a programme called that had to explain through sobs it wasn't a baby who had died, then made him promise never to climb a ladder!

I did that Facebook film thing.

That was a mistake.

Cried like a loon when my most-liked post popped up and it was the one announcing DS's birth.

There's no way I'm 'sharing' that film as I'll cry again anytime someone likes it (plus EVERYONE seems to have shared their film and I don't want to add to clogging up people's feeds).
