The dumbest reason you cried

[Shawna]

So these were a long time ago.

I don’t remember my exact age, but I was really young. I found a tiny piece of cardboard on the floor. It had a school bus on it. I had no idea what it was from so it made me cry.

I also cried a long time ago (again, really young) because my brother would draw these pictures where the people he drew would be facing left or right, so they only appeared to have one eye. I thought it was cute, so I cried one time because of it.

Learned something new today. Just looked that up. It's kind of cute and sweet in a way that they took the time to do something like that.

Oh, but wait! There is another whose last words were " "My battery is low and it's getting dark."

One of the earliest and dumbest reasons I ever cried was when I was in second grade. We recently read a book called Missing: One Stuffed Rabbit by Maryann Cocca-Leffler. It features a story of a class pet stuffed animal named Coco, the main character loses it and Coco ends up in the hands of someone who needs it more. I made a little tiny paper cutout of a rabbit inspired by Coco, and I carried it with me everywhere.

One day during class I wasn't paying attention to the class, I was playing with Coco. I thought Coco would look good with some whiskers, so I gave it some and I didn't like it. I used marker. I started crying in the middle of class.

As a child - oh god there's too many to list; there were quite a few times where I cried knowing that there wasn't actually any good reason to cry??

As an adult - the vacuum broke and I was already having a bad day

Fights, especially when I was in school. I never was the biggest fan and I would run off and cry like the baby I am. I never got into them myself.

That's not a dumb reason at all. Even if you weren't engaged in the situation it can be very upsetting. I've seen many in school and it's always unconformable no matter what the situation is.

Yeah. One day, pretty much the entire day was just kids breaking into fights. It was awful. I got sent to the School Counselor the very next day.

Roleplaying with a character ai bot and I purposely made the rp super angsty and it honestly made me tear up a tiny bit… T^T

First and only time sharing this out loud, so here ya go:

I remember when I was little, I had breakfast one rushed school day morning and there was this piece of bread that looked like Pikachu, okay? So I took it to school, showed it off, yadayadayada. When I was coming home, a bee swarmed around me and I tried shooing it away but then I dropped my Pikachu bread and it went down a storm drain.

And that's how I started my day with a 0.0000000001% chance piece of bread, and ended it with tears and no 0.0000000001% bread.

I haven't cried since 2011,

I honestly don't think I could believe that LOL.

Sorry for your loss, though. Pets are cherishing.

I have cried for A Lot of dumb reasons lol. To be fair, most of them were from when I was a kid, but still. There's plenty more than I listed here, but we'd be here for the rest of our lives if I listed any more

When I was five or so, I was so excited to go into school (no reason, just happy) and in my excitement, I ran full speed through the gates. As could be expected, I fell flat on my face lmao. My parents took me back home for the day since I was so hysterical, but I was mostly crying because I couldn't go to school, not the pain

When I was eight I called a teacher "mam" (as in mother) accidentally and I started tearing up from the embarrassment lolol

When I was ten, we were having a water fight during summer holidays, and when we finished my older sibling was no where to be seen. I went out to look for them only to get sprayed with their water gun as I walked by the car. I was just after changing into dry clothes and I was so distraught

Also during that time my siblings used to call me (insert real name) concertina/ballerina because it sounded funny. I always got so mad I'd cry lol. It wasn't even that bad

The most recent example would be when I was 15 and when I was having a really bad week, I forgot my English homework. The teacher asked where it was and I just started crying silently lmao. She left me alone during that class and asked me to stay behind to talk

Expired yogurt in my hair when I was 5. I'm not even gonna explain why it was in there to begin with.

I have had worse things in my hair, like slime, horse spit, rotten tomato, etc. But anything in your hair is annoying, though.
