What's the dumbest thing you've ever cried about?

[Extra-Ordinary]

I understand what's big for one person might be small for someone else but simply on a basis of you judging yourself, what's that memory (or memories) that you look back on and think "You know, my emotions should not have been so high over that."
You know those nights when you think about your regrets and you just think "Man, that's embarrassing"? Well, I had one of those nights, that's what made me think of this.
My personal story goes when I was getting into Godzilla, I was about ten, I'm hoping that's some kind of excuse.
Anyway.
I started with Godzilla 2000, which had English dubs. But when I rented the older Godzilla's with subs only, I threw quite a fit, yes, tears were shed. I simply couldn't comprehend the idea of reading subtitles at the time. Goodness, that's an embarrassing one.
So!
No judgment here, share your own First World Problem.

I have clinical depression. I've cried over the absolute dumbest things you can possibly imagine. Including, but not limited to: Realising that I am out of milk and have to go to the store, birds chirping outside my window while I am trying to sleep, and dropping my last chicken nugget on the floor. All of these happened within the last year. Depression does fraked up stuff to your emotions.

Depression does fraked up stuff to your emotions.

It does :/ Hell, there was one moment when I managed to break out in tears when I realized that after a shitty day, my beer got all lukewarm too because I forgot to put it in the fridge >.>

But the dumbest thing I ever cried about? My ex. Honestly, better off without her.

Spooky, that was gonna be my exact post! (replace clinical with maniacal though).

For me, dropping a crisp and feeling like a stupid failure because of it.
Being around too many people, then crying because you're pissed off at yourself for crying.
Bumping into something by accident which didn't hurt but I felt like a stupid blundering idiot.
Realising I forgot my cardigan when I went out so I couldn't cover my arms.
Then there's the bursting into tears in the middle of listening to music that isn't even sad.

A lot of movies set me off too, even if they're not weepies.

Fuck hormones...

Wow, this thread started off serious. I don't really have anything to match that so uhhhhhh...

I cried once when I was 12 (I think) when I got given detention for forgetting my homework. Marginally embarrassing, sitting in class trying to hide it. That counts, right?

Agreed I feel kind of petty with my cry moment now but...

OT: I'm not a crier. I've gotten tears in my eyes due to movies/tv shows/books but I've never really "cried" cried except for once...

I got "Let Go" from my old job (temp work). I did not see it coming in any way so I felt completely and utterly blind-sided by it (even though I'm a temp...we're expendable, that's our job). I was absolutely crushed for the next few days. I had myself about a thirty second breakdown of a cry (seriously, that's like a super world record for me) and was pretty depressed for about two days.

Now in retrospect, it was the best freaking thing that ever could have happened to me. I realize now that I wasn't a great employee and instead of talking to me like a good manager, they let me go. I got moved to US Bank two weeks later by the temp agency and I've now been very happily employed there for the last two and a half years.

Huh. Guess mine might lighten the mood a bit.

I cried at Lego Racers 2 when I failed to beat a cheating asshole ten times in a row. It was my first video game rage at eight years old. In this boss race, the boss is a stupid ice monster. He starts at the second light and is as fast as fuck. The various powerups that usually slow other racers down, do not work on him. He was more difficult than the final boss was. I nearly punched my computer once because of him.

When I was younger and questioning my sexuality, I couldn't help but notice that Russel Brand is a sexy, sexy, SEXY man. I was watching his stand-up thing on Comedy Central and derping around online at the time so I was looking up info on him...and the comedy and my research got to the point where it went into some detail about his past with drug use...and I'm straight-edge...and it just got me depressed...I didn't cry-cry...but still...

As for outright crying, Up. The film Up. That isn't so bad though because ya know what other movie made me cry? Click with Adam Sandler.

 

[username sucks]

I haven't cried in a few years (not going to go into my childhood when I was so messed up that I cried alone about 70% of my waking time), but the most memorable recent time I was sad over something insignificant was when I heard Taylor Davis' version of the Serenade of Water from Legend of Zelda. It's extremely difficult for me to feel much emotions over anything anymore, but for some reason hearing that song brought me back. I've even replayed the games in the past few months and didn't feel anything, but the song alone did it.

I will admit that while I didn't cry, I came pretty close.

 

[Foolery]

Dumbest thing? That bit in Lord of the Rings when Gandalf gets dragged down into the depths of Moria by a Balrog. I still tear up somewhat whenever I watch it.

Beyond that, I don't really cry over trivial stuff.

I'm pretty sure I overreacted to my first and only bee sting. This was in high school.

Thinking about it now, it really didn't hurt as excruciating as I always feared. I didn't even know I'd been stung at first. I was moving around my room and making up my bed when it happened. I remember yelping and just sort of cursing, wondering what the hell it was.

Went over to turn on the light to see what happened, go back and see a bee moving around on my bed.

Just had a straight panic attack. Like: OMIGOD, I was stung by a bee! Immediately burst into tears for a while, went to another room away from the bee to stare at the stinger sticking out of my thigh. Cried some more then called my mother in a panic over the whole thing.

My only excuse is that my oldest brother is allergic to bees and so I was always terrified of what would happen if I were ever stung. But yeah, looking back on it now, I feel a little silly.

I also cried when I dropped my Ice Cream as a child, it was my favorite flavor *tears up thinking about it*

D:

How did you manage? It's so sad. You're such a survivor!

*hugs*

OT: I dropped an ocarina I got for christmas when I was 7 or so. It was my favorite gift that year because I was so into ocarina of time at the time.

It fell on the tile and shattered into a bajillion pieces.

 

[FPLOON]

I remember standing up to my first bully... and beating the shit out of him shortly after... I was crying all the way through, even when I was finally pulled away from a nearby teacher and set to the Principle's office... I was 7 years old at the time...

The whole scene, as I look back, seemed like a cliche slo-mo one-sided fight sequenced that would play classical-like music while the scene would sometimes zoom in on my sobbing face as I was taken away... (or the kid equivalent to a reverse hate-crime, I guess...)

What makes it dumb, to me, is that the moment before I threw my first punch at the kid and the first moment of recognizable sobbing were, at first, unrelated to each other... But, then as I was pulled away from laying any more [good] punches, the sobbing that time was for the fact that I thought that I actually killed the bully in question since he wasn't even moving the last time I glanced back at him...

Later, I found out I broke the dude's nose, left a few noticeable bruises on his face, and there was blood coming out of both his nose and mouth... Only, the blood from his mouth was actually from a loose tooth the kid had that almost came out that day...


...And that's how I became the bully "middle man" on the playground all through elementary school... as well as the last year I was given an award for being an "outstanding student" in said elementary school...

I know there're probably so many, I just can't think of anything specific right now.

There was one time I had a bad reaction to a certain brand of contraceptive pill that temporarily made me a crazy person so there was a day where I started crying for absolutely no reason, then I started laughing because I was crying for no reason, then cried again because I thought I was losing my mind.
Good times!

Oh, oh, one time when I was really little, I cried because my mom put carrots on my dinner plate even though I said I didn't want them.
She didn't make me eat them or anything, I just cried because they were there.

 

[Spider RedNight]

I also have double depression so yeahhh a lot of stuff I cry about is REALLY mundane and it makes me laugh sometimes when I describe emotional moments to my friends and I realize just how dumb it was. Recently it was three in the morning and I REALLY just wanted to watch a video and it kept BUFFERING. It was TERRIBLE.

But on a completely other note, I cried because I went to the store to get something for my sister and they didn't have it. I KNEW it was a stupid thing to cry about especially because it was just something to get my sister just to be nice and it wasn't MANDATORY but I still found myself tearing up in the little girls aisle, staring at the wall and being so sad and sorry for myself that I couldn't find what I wanted for my sister.

I got stung by a wasp once and I LITERALLY thought I was dying... I was swimming and WHAM, right in the small of my back so I quickly ducked down under the water and screamed like a baby. Passion and tears and chlorine and it was so flashy and melodramatic. It was a sting. I've broken bones and I didn't cry but a wasp got to me. I'm so ashamed

 

[BobblyDrink]

Once stood on some lego blocks, with my initial reaction to leap my foot up and hold it to hop around going "AH YOU BASTARDS!". I forgot there was also stuff behind me, so fell into the box of Bionicles my brother collected. Didn't cry so much as just really water up at the eyes. They're pointy devils.

 

[Mutie]

But the dumbest thing I ever cried about? My ex. Honestly, better off without her.

I'm with you on that one bro... I fell in love with a French lass, we were pretty much a couple just without the physical aspect as we're both inexperienced. I finally confessed my love to her and managed to break down her barriers and see why she was so reserved. Unfortunately, her response to all this was more along the lines of "Thanks for giving me confidence, if you're into me then other people will be too; I shall now use this to flirt my way into employment with your favorite production RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, then rip your heart out on the way home and have you finish the "break up" whilst I sit in nothing but my pants and a tank top".

I cried for the first time in six and a half years (also over a girl, I vowed never to cry for that reason again...)

A few weeks later cried when the job center lady was a ***** to me, whilst on the phone to my Dad...

...

Don't fall in love with French girl. They will break you.

Three incidents come to my mind (they all happened when I was little which back then I tend to overreacted)-

1. I didn't had spam sandwich for breakfast and I couldn't tell my dad I wanted that since I didn't know the name for spam back then.

2. I didn't wanted my friend to leave when the sleepover week had ended.

3. I didn't wanted my mum to throw away my favourite socks (it was black with an image of an astronaunt on it) when they were damaged too much.

There is a forth one but I can't really remember what caused it. All I can remember was that it was in primary school and I was hicupping alot because I was trying to holding back myself from crying alot.

 

[krazykidd]

I cried at the end of xenosaga episode 3. It was the first time i cried in my adult life . I was 23 at the time. But after playing the series back to back i kinda got attached to the characters.
