Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked in on my mom drenched in tears, barely able to speak. I ran to get her some tissues and a nice cup of tea to calm her down. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I asked her if she wanted to talk about what happened. She watched an episode of Gossip Girl. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, I was trying to get drama students to attempt to make themselves cry. I was not having any luck, until suddenly a girl burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I jumped up to applaud, saying what a wonderful thing it is to have such expressive kids. Turns out her grandma just died. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. Why was I crying? My favorite anime character died. FML
Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, my girlfriend is on her period. She hugged me, crying because she was going to miss me. Where was I going? To the store down the street and back. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me by text for another man while I was at work. While I worked the drive-thru, a customer noticed me choking back my tears and said "I'd be cryin' too if I worked your dead-end job." FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML

You're telling me that you have NEVER cried at a movie or tv death?

Keep one eye open when your sleeping buddy.

I cried pretty hard when Dan shot Keith in One Tree Hill, and when Warrick died in CSI :( That's not something I'd go running to my husband at work for, though.

One Tree Hill. That one got me too. That and when Karen saw him when she almost died.

i do this. im a very emotional person some days. my husband just holds me. yes i realize it's a bit irrational, but i feel better afterwards. you just get invested in books or shows or movirs. nothing wrong with that.

I once cried when the digi-desitined lost their digimon at the end of season three.

I almost cried when Justin's dad died on Ugly Betty... But that's really no reason to bother someone at work. You're a good boyfriend for not bursting out laughing.

That's how a lot of pornos start these days! Girl needs "comfort." Clerk gives it to her in the stockroom. Didn't you see "Ted?"

Gotta admit, today when I finished BBC's Sherlock I called my boyfriend because I wanted some comforting I scared him half to death though cause I was crying to hard I could barely talk. Some people can just get really attatched to fictional characters
