So I am trying to keep this lighthearted.... When I was about six or seven, I won a Whoopee cushion at an arcade. I would play with constantly, pranking other people in the car, sticking it under my shirt and slamming into it, using it as people walked by our car at the gas station, etc.

One day my grandparents were babysitting and I pranked them with the cushion. (Why was I like this?!) My grandpa accidentally ripped the cushion. It no longer worked, and us kids started crying. My grandma said "boys can be rough", but looking back, it was probably because it was so cheap lol.

Yes-- I shed actual tears over a Whoopee cushion lol.

Any similar stories?
 
The dumbest thing I can think of is, years ago I was playing Neopets and I saw one of the games *Jubble Bubble* had low high scores so I tested my luck and I played that thing for hours.

I was soo close to beating, and getting a trophy but I failed. If you fail the character your using looks sad, while all the others fall to the ground and hurt themselves. Soo instead of getting frustrated I cried, I sheded some tears. After I tried again and just couldn't get it, so it made me so sad that I shaded more tears.

My mom asked what was wrong and I was like *I CANT BEAT JUBBLE BUBBLE, ILL NEVER GET A TROPHY, IM SO BAD 😢"

Then later that week my friend asked how various games were going, and I said fine. When she said Neopets. She knows I play the arcade games often. I mentioned Jubble Bubble, and she's like *Danny you look kinda sad* and I'm like just like *I don't think I'll ever beat it. Ill never beat it* whiping my eyes..

I honestly look back and I'm amused I got so upset by it. I took a bit of a break from Neopets after that ^^;

I’m pretty sure I almost cried when I had a portable Neopets toy and my Aisha left (I was at school for the day) so I had to adopt a new one. 😭
 
I didn’t cry, but I was absolutely distraught when my favorite character was eliminated from Disventure Camp. It’s similar in plot to shows like Total Drama and Survivor. I relate to her very much, and she means a lot to me as a character!

Edit: OH. My dumbass cried over the employees accidentally putting whipped cream on my banana split at Dairy Queen. I asked for one without it, and I had a fit. I was, like, 7… Don’t judge.

I don't cry much at all so it's difficult to pinpoint times when it's been unnecessary.

The last time I cried was on the way home after a job interview rejection.

Because I got all these nice clothes beforehand and I was in a good headspace for the interview. I really wanted to work there.

I wasn't feeling 'sad'. I was crying because the moment of rejection was rather overwhelming and I couldn't cry in front of the employer so I did it in the car.
 
When I was in my first year of high school (so, 13 years old here) I got my end of year report card. Out of 10 subjects, I had gotten nine As and one C (there were no +/-). I went to my dad sobbing, "I got a C" 😭, because that was my first time and I was disappointed, lol. Honestly, so funny to think about given how silly it was, lol. Also it was in Phys Ed 🥲
 
Another dumb reason I cried…about two years ago it was *that* time of the month and I saw a rabbit outside with the TINIEST baby bunny. Like it was so small it could fit in your hand. It had a tiny milk spot on its head, and was so precious I burst into tears. 😭 I don’t think I’d ever seen such a tiny bunny before!
 
PMS, lol. Not because of the pain but because the hormones just kinda mess me up sometimes???
Like one time I was walking in the mall listening to vocaloid hype songs when i started crying..... because the song was so good?? it wasnt even an emotional song. it was just. a really cool song. and i started to cry in public
and I know a lot of couple vloggers joke about it but i am also very emotional w my boyfriend during that time of the month. he took me out to casual dinner once and in the car i started crying because i was so touched he was going to take me out to eat pasta. he went ???? did i do something wrong?? and i was like no omg of course not, i just. idk i just really really wanted pasta at that time
 
I haven't cried since 2011, and it was to mourn over the loss of a loved family pet.

I don't know, it was that moment on I chose to never cry again, only cry tears of joy. So no, I can't remember what really dumb reasons why I cried as they were too long ago for me to remember.

Since I started birth control and things got more regulated, my PMS hasn’t been as bad, but I still feel the tears in my throat at the smallest things. Like, I’m not sobbing over how cute a baby bunny is anymore, but I still feel like I could lol.
 
Also, I cry whenever I hear a lullaby…or even a music-box instrumental of it. I have no idea why. I did this ever since I was little (no longer a baby). Now that I’m older, I found that kid show songs make me cry, too, like when I looked up an old one from when I was little and…oh man! 😭 Also, once when my cat watched CocoMelon, even that music got to me.

omg i cry easily so literally anything comes to mind: a video online, movies, stories, or games

the worst i cried over a game was at @/Chere. place and i just bawled my whole heart out on her couch ASKJRFKJAEBRG this was traumatic to me at the moment but now we just joke about that game/day

i've bawled so hard over character deaths in animes, there's this one series that i refuse to ever rewatch because the heartbreak is simply too much and i don't want to relive that pain again ! no thank you
