What makes you get teary/emotional?

Peared

For me its seeing really old people take pleasure in something simple, the way they seem to almost revert back to childhood. Saw an old man holding onto a teddy one day and bawled for about an hour.

Also kids being robbed of innocence, on a bad day a little kid being abused in the street by other sh!ts of kids can have me in floods.

Aw nasty cushion! Leave the poor innocent teddy holding old man alone!

People trying their best, but getting it wrong.

People who are hurting because they don't think they're good enough. (In combination with trying their best.)

Both of these groups of people bring out a very fatherly and kind part of me. Not sure why really.

Sure. Here's a really simple silly one.

Girls who have clearly made a huge effort to dress up and look pretty, but they've totally gotten it wrong, and look a bit silly.

Other girls will be sniggering at them in private.

She has tried her best, but made a fool of herself...

I dunno. That kind of thing makes me sad. I always make an effort to tell the people I am with, if they are making nasty comments, to cop the **** on.

Laughing at people who have tried their best... so mean.

EDIT: Re-reading this I can see I'm not making much sense. Sorry!

There is something about the innocence of dogs which really makes me want to defend them. I think it's because they offer unrequited love to anyone who is nice to them.

Very considerate of you. I'm usually too self-absorbed to notice such stuff.

It's tough to go back when your used to it. Just polished off a €2.99 6 pack of bier, helped to get through the Eurovision

I'm going slightly off topic here but did you ever see that ad for homeless dogs? I think it has a dog "talking" to you. "I've been a good dog. I don't wanna die" kind of stuff. Heartbreaking. I could watch a hundred of those ads for Concern and Trocaire but they wouldn't have the same effect on me as one of those ads for dogs that are going to be put down.


Now, back to the topic...

The last episode of Band of Brothers. Such an amazing show throughout. And a fantastic happy ending.

The Allied forces won. The Nazi's lost

I was sure this thread was "What makes you get Terry emotional?". Now that would have been a great thread.

princess-sprkle

little old people always make me tear up. They're just so damn cute!

Dam you ballybay eh was too tempted by the spoilers and you ruined WWII for me:(

I used to go out with a girl like you...

It used to be very embarrassing in restaurants when she'd be sitting there crying (for no reason) and everyone would be looking at me thinking what a prick...

The final scene after Ian Curtis hung himself in the film 'Control'. That was rough.

Things that make me teary in a sad way - animals (especially dogs) and old people sad/hurt.

Things that make me teary in a good way - animals (especially dogs) and old people happy.

My weaknesses are dogs and old people obviously. Actually got teary today when I saw an old man sitting on a bench talking to his dog, happy out. I'm getting teary even now thinking about it...the cute bastids.

Magicians Assistant by Scroobius Pip did a damn fine job of ****ing me over yesterday.

on topic, cruelty to dogs, that thread in cool pics and links really shook me up

My bank statement.

F**k Ian Curtis btw.

Joy Division is a load of miserable sh1te. New Order were fantastic. Just a load of tools on the "he died to young" bandwagon. He did die too young, but his passing was certainly no loss to the music industry.

Cruelty to animals makes me more angry than tery eyed tbh.

Now I did have tears i mo shuile when City beat United at Old Trafford for the first time in over 30 years back in February. That was an emotional night, especially considering the slating our fans got in the build up to the game.

kerash

Getting deducted 6 points, fighting to the bitter end, winning your final match only to be relegated, getting to the cup final only to be beaten, standing in the p!ssing rain and wind watching, for the last time, your team who will all be gone come next season
But we move on in hope of better times.

Time for uplifting song to mark this poignant moment:)

I've been in a corporate box at Eastlands. What made me teary was the fact that fridge was full of bloody Fosters and nothing else. Sure it was free but I had thought that a more refined tipple was on the cards.

It was Man City v Norwich the last season there before Norwich got relegated.

Ha ha, yep been in those situations! Although I'm more likely to be happy emotional than sad!

Other things that really make me teary are watching marathon runners finish a race and quite bizzarely when other drivers thank you with their hazards....
