Tell me your embarrassing crying stories

I'm not really much of the crying type, I tend to be the one to keep my head about things.

A few years ago when Max bit me and shredded my arm I was gushing blood all over the place and went to the hospital. I was bawling because I was worried about how much the hospital visit was going to cost.

One time a while back i had just cooked a really nice dinner for Colin and I. When i did, i got a little crazy with the garlic bread and it was a pinch to garlicy. At the time i was uber stressed out, exhausted, tired, and had pms...you name it- Colin and I sat down for dinner that night and he commented on the garlic bread and said "Hey Nikki, did you get a little happy with the garlic tonight?" (he ment it jokingly) and i just looked at him and started bawling- i mean BAWLING! He just had this stunned look on his face and immedately started appologizing Looking back- it was hysterical- lol....but at the time i was just soo stressed out i needed to cry -and well, i'm sensitive, so that's all it took was some bad garlic bread Poor Colin!

I really try my best to not cry in public. Silly things usually don't make me cry. But things like taking a pet to the vet and finding out terrible news, makes me cry uncontrollably.

I don't think I could have done that!

I purposely eat alone, go to movies alone and do many other things alone. I enjoy the "me" time. It took a bit of courage, but it really is rewarding. I know other women like this as well (haven't talked to any men about it yet). The toughest thing about taking myself out is other people, such as waiters, etc assuming I am waiting for someone or have been stood up lol. Maybe some those people you see eating alone are happy and enjoying themselves

My crying story would be in my college biology class three years ago. My brother was in the hospital in a coma and no one was sure if he would pull through. At the time of the final he had been there for about a week. I found myself on the verge of tears constantly, especially if I stopped to think about anything. Of course, becoming quiet and trying to think for the final, I started crying and sobbed all the way through, trying to be quiet for the other students. I finished the test and when I thought I had myself under control, took the test to the instructor and he asked if I was okay. Started really crying then, mumbled something and got the heck out of there. Emailed him when I got home and explained.

Good news: brother was in coma for 10 days and spent some time in recovery. His lungs will never quite be the same, but you could never tell. Also, received a "B" in biology - Whew!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Crying at work? Been there, done that!!

I think the worst time was when my manager's boss came into a meeting that was scheduled and told me, "As a client, I was offended by what you wrote in the meeting request." I was so stunned, and then horrified at the thought that I OFFENDED someone, I started crying and crying. My manager was there, and she tried to say something, and the witch told her to be quiet. She then went on to ask me why I was taking it so personally and that I was overreacting (btw, this woman is a ROBOT, I swear).

Thinking back on it, I'm more horrified that I let her get to me than I am of crying overall. She's no longer working there and recently my boss did tell me that the woman had a PERSONAL bias against me...yeah, talk about a hostile work environment!

Another time was after my mom called me at work and told me my cousin had passed away (drug overdose). I went to my manager at the time (different one than above) and started to explain to him that I needed to leave work to drive to my brothers' place because they weren't answering their phones (they lived about 40 miles South of me). I was all fine until I started talking about what happened and I just lost it!!! The poor man didn't know what to do!

Then there was the time when I was a student and told my boss (at the top of my lungs) that the reason no one respected him was because he was too busy trying to be everyone's friend to be their boss. Yeah, all my coworkers hid behind trees outside, let me go off on the boss. When I went back to apologize because I was MORTIFIED at my behavior, he just hugged me, said he was sorry, and that was that. *shrug*

I am completely rubbish!!

I cry at happy songs, sad songs, videos of cute kitties, my kids hugging me, when I get BIG love from the kitties, and sometimes just driving along singing to the radio, thinking how lucky I am to be alive!! (it is usually happy crying!!)

I did burst into tears all over my boss the other day when one of the other Team Leaders and I had had a bust up. I was soooo frustrated with what had happened,and all the words just came tumbling out - then next thing I knew I was blubbing like a baby!

Oh yes, and I cried after we said our wedding vows - I was just sooooo happy and relieved that we had done it despite all the trouble we had gone through to be together!!!!

Yup, I reckon I cry most days!!!!!

I had been at my new job for about a week and was finding it really stressfull, we had just bought a house and moved in, and no one was really talking to me at my job, and my fiance text me to tell me my hamster has died. I went to the toilet to cry but my new boss saw me and she wanted to know what was wrong. She, and no one else in the office at the time really had animals so they all thought I was a loony!!
A few weeks later, I was still finding the job really tough, so asked my manager for a chat in the boardroom. She said I could talk to her about anything, so I just told her that I was struggling a little. I was more upset because I was struggling with all the stress of just having moved to a new place, and having just bought a house, and ended up really crying! I told her I was just stresed outside of work, that I wasn't crying because of work. Worse, she told the director, who obviously thought I was a loose canon, and my probationary period got extended! (I saw a note she'd written.) Seems it's unproffesional and a crime to have emotions in my office I'm still there now, 16 months later, goodness knows why!

Hm. Lets see. It was 2001 and just a month before the World Trade Center had been hit. Didn't know anyone personally in that but it was still emotional ya know. Especially considering I was pregnant.

Anyway, 8 months pregnant and I was working with my father in law in the manufacturing dept. (My normal dept is printing). We had just went to Louisville to pick up hubby's brother from the airport. We got home about 1am and we needed to go to work the next day. So I was trying to get some sleep and after fighting off the endless heartburn... I finally dozed off. Then at 3am our phone started to ring. It was in the other room so I could still lightly sleep and not be bothered. But then finally at 5am I got even more annoyed that whoever was calling kept calling over..and over..and over. So I answered and said "What the *** is your problem!".

Well it was hubby's grandmother (FIL mother). They were worried because we had went to a big city and not checked in.. Hello didn't think I needed to!

Anyway we get to work and FIL starts yelling at me because I spoke to his mother that way. Hello she was calling from 3am till 5! So we have this big fight.

Boss comes in and talks to me and I finally just say I'm going back to the printing dept. even though the health risks are more (because of chemicals). And I told him I'd never work with FIL again! Then I started crying because it was just all too much. I hadn't had very much sleep. I was almost due to deliver Sierra and I had just had enough. I stayed in the back for two more weeks cleaning. Yep that's all I did. I sat down all the time and just cleaned off some materials. I think my boss just kinda rolled his eyes. He's not very sympathetic to women. He didn't really know what to do..

I'm offended! I'd much rather have someone who expresses their emotions than someone who hides it until they explode. I couldn't deal with working in a job that acts as though crying is a crime.
