have you ever made someone cry?

Robsweezie

When I was about 10, I made a comment to friends about a girl with a good chunk of weight on her, calling her "extremely large". Word got back to the the girl somehow and she was crying down the road. Her cousin confronted me about it like " why would you say that?". I later felt guilty and cried myself when I told my parents about it. It was horrible knowing my words had that effect on someone.

When I was about 10/11 my mum and my two older sisters 4/5 years older than me sat down to eat dinner and I said something along the lines of

"What rubbish has mum made us tonight"

She got up , started crying and went upstairs and left her dinner, my two older sisters just looked at me with disgust and called me a little bastard .

I've always remembered it and its scared me for life as I now have 3 kids same as she did and its tough going with 2 of us sharing responsibility of them never mind a single working mum bringing up 3 kids on her own .

Little bastard was right!!!!

riffmongous

Yeah, not out of malice, but out of disappointment that our relationship had failed. I dont know which is worst to tbh

Don't call me punisher for nothing.......

Not as far as I'm aware. I am very good at keeping my gob shut though.

Just the other day....
In currently doing a course in Fas. It's a melter of a course but after been made redundant in October I need something on paper for my cv. I worked in my last job for 20 years just right after school. Anyways one of the girls keeps applying for jobs and can't even get an interview. She has a degree and it stresses me out that she can't get an interview how the heck am I going to get a job. Anyways she's always telling me it's because a lot of jobs say 2 years experience.
The other day we were in the canteen and she was saying how unfair it was that given the chance she could get a job. I said but that's reality of it it's two years experience nobody will give someone a chance it was more out of my frustration than anything else. She went very quiet and I knew I had upset her. After the break I apologised and she started crying. I felt terrible.

Not out of malice. But I once let somebody know how unhappy I was in a relationship with them due to a number of things they were doing/saying and unknowingly hurting me by doing so,and it made them cry when I told them because apparently they really cared about me

Yeah, a girl I worked with,everyday..
Not intentionally..
If I looked at her I had looked at her the wrong way and she cried.
If I didnt look at her I was ignoring her and she cried..
Funny at first but after a while it became difficult to deal with.

yea I did awhile back - but in a kind of a nice way. A girl left work and she cried on the last day while talking to me. Just because rather than saying personal goodbyes I told her everyone would miss her. And she started balling. Later at drinks she complained she never cries and she did not know why she did that.

So recently during "reunion" drinks where loads of people who have left came back to meet the rest of us I planned a mini flash mob. I told her I could make her cry again - in less than 3 minutes - and she swore blind I wouldn't. So I asked her to steel herself and get ready and when she said she was ready I waved over a concealed guitar and just said "this is how much we miss you" and started playing a song I had learned off.

This freaked her out straight away because I am musically the least gifted person on the planet I think - and she knew this too - so a lot of effort went into learning to play even that one song. But she stayed strong right up the point where another work mate took her pre-arranged queue and then joined in - then another - until my whole team at work ended up finishing the song.

And yes - she was balling before the 3 minutes were up.

So making people cry does not always have to be bad OP.

When my nephew was a baby every time he saw the video of Whitney Houston singing "I will always love you" his little chin would start wobbling and then he'd start whimpering and finally start wailing crying. I always used to put it on just to see if he'd cry cos it was so funny. Poor baby must've thought we were all nuts busting our asses laughing while he was crying.:)

This week actually.
My neighbour; Mother Teresa as I call her, as she tortures me daily with the angelus at 6.00am, noon, 6.00pm daily at full blast on her radio.
I always say hello to her when I see her, and she blanks me.
She likes growing plants on her patio, and was in tears this week when she saw her new lavender plant had been stolen.
My bedroom smells lovely now.
Fk her.

Yeah, girlfriends of various hues. I didn't discriminate in that regard.

My son.

Seeing me cry in pain. He's only 8 and has autism and has rubbed my back and cried saying it's ok mum don't be sad

Anyone that says kids with autism don't understand or feel emotions has it all wrong!

CINCLANTFLT

Quite a lot... My OH reminds me regularly that a 6 foot 3 man complaining about bad service in a shop or restaurant can be scary, even when I think I am being polite... I made a girl at the cafe in a play area for the kids cry recently... I really don't think I am that terrifying, but I am really starting to believe the OH when this keeps happening... I feel bad after typing this :-(

This could qualify as child abuse ... I mean subjecting him to Whitney Houston !!!

A colleague once.

He had dropped a screwdriver on the ground and did not realise it.

I thought I should help him and said "You useless oxygen thief, no wonder you are hated by everyone, you can't do anything right. You have dropped that screwdriver again"

He started to cry. All over a screwdriver. Some people you just cannot help. :rolleyes:

Yep.

At a very low point. Where work stress and drinking was reaching a crisis and was at my most...self indulgent. And I turned it, spectacularly, on those nearest to me, f****d them from a height. Still wince at the tongue lashing I gave, it upset my wife and my closest friends, and there were tears. Within 24 hours I decided that I had to change and stopped the binge drinking, thankfully they all forgave and I changed my whole life. I regret it so much, but they know I learned from it and that's the important thing.

My daughter is particularly sensitive, and I can make her cry completely by accident if I raise my voice at anything, even watching a sports game. I'm hoping school will toughen her up a bit to be honest.

Mainly because I had to let some one go once and he cried. And it was horrific

I've never made someone cry in a situation in which I wasn't also crying buckets. I don't like hurting people or seeing them hurt. But I'm not going to lie and say something is OK if it's just not OK, no matter how much the other person wishes I would just smile and pick up the knife and fork when they take a dump on my plate.

My cousin, last year.

I've been single for a long time, while she had just left her long-term partner for a much younger man, and moved in with him shortly after..

She said to me: "I don't think being in a relationship would suit you, Tequila, you're too independent."

I replied: "Well, I'd probably take it a bit slower - I couldn't see myself moving in with a guy after three months."

She started crying. Honestly I think what she said was way worse. I wasn't judging her with my comment, just saying it's not how I'd do it. She basically said I'd never find a fella!

I laughed reading that, the sheer awkwardness of it! Brilliant story though

I've never made anyone cry actually, I was trying to think I must have at some point, but nothing!

I hate that, when someone does or says something wrong and then acts like they're the wronged party.

Yes, a few times and I still feel **** about it.

Hateful post!

I'm not sure what is worse, the fact that you actually spoke to another person in that manner (drink ..."or other stuff" is irrelevant) OR the fact that you actually admit to doing so.

One thing is certain though, the cracker(who is now your Fiancée) is the real winner in all this.

I am the oldest of four siblings and the mother of one so yeah I have made people cry.

Agreed. Drunk or not that's a shocking way to treat someone.

Yes. I was in Calais off me nut and started telling some lad a load of sad stories I made up when I was wired. Then I seen him in the Dail bawling about them. His name was Mick, I think.

Just...ouch.

That's bad. I hope and trust you crawled back and begged forgiveness. Calling an upset woman out on her looks in front of a crowd is pretty vile, no matter how clingy she was. She must have been stunned, it must have been crushing.

Yes, part of a previous job was counseling English language learners on their progress. In some cases, this involved letting them know whether they were on course to meet a certain level that would allow them to get a certain job/entry to a certain university.

Telling people that they were unlikely to pass the exam or interview, or meet whatever standard was required, brought on tears in a few painful cases.

freshpopcorn

There was this lad I went to school with and we used actually be good friends.
He often burst into tears in primary school over little incidents. If somebody was brushed off him in the class room he could burst into tears. One day in primary school I gave him a piece of blue tac and he managed to get it stuck in his hair and he put his hand up and said Ms there's blue tac stuck in my hair whilst crying bis eyes out. There was other numerous incidents involving him in primary school.
In secondary school we sort of fell out because he used often act the hard man and really pester people and if they faught back in any way he'd burst into tears. I did kick him one day after a few minutes of him punching me in the back and head and he burst into tears. There was numerous incidents of him crying for various reasons.

Chain Smoker

Deadpan delivery and a total inability to gauge what sounds completely ridiculous to others regardless of how it's said have led to me unintentionally making a bunch of people cry.

The time I told my mam that my brother was after failing his leaving cert and didn't want anyone to bring it up before he entered the house is a stand-out for sure. He actually had aced it, I was so sure everyone knew he was going to exceed his (ridiculously low, imo) expectations that they'd know I was joking...
He isn't the kind of person who likes to brag, so he came in and said nothing, waiting for someone to ask really. The room was awkward as **** so I knew at this stage that I had made a total hames of it but didn't really know how to alleviate it either. Anyways after a few minutes she just broke down crying.

WoollyRedHat

One time in summer camp I called this kid who had a birth mark 'Two Face '. They started bawling, told on me and I got a good telling off for a complete lack of sensitivity. Not my finest moment, still feel bad.

I did, at work. I had a f**ker of a manager who was more interested in brown-nosing the people he wanted to impress than keeping hold of the reins on the project. Which meant we had requirements that constantly changed and work that had to be scrapped/redone.

I was the coordinator who always had to carry the can. The final straw was when I had to break the news to one of the girls on the team that the grunt-work she had been working all hours to complete so that she could move onto more interesting work was now useless, and that she'd be stuck redoing grunt-work for weeks more. She burst into tears and we ended up in the pub drowning our sorrows.

The next day I handed in my notice. Haven't regretted it either

Hunchback

1. When we were on a primary school tour to somewhere in Sligo 30 years ago I pushed a girl from some girls school down a small grassy hill. She went truly on her arse and started crying. My heart broke instantly that I could do this in such an unprovoked way to such a gentle creature. I have thought about this thousands upon thousands of times.


2. My mum came to from Dublin to visit me in Galway when I was in my early to mid twenties. We had a nice night together watching a big jazz band in a venue that was called Cuba at that time. Walked her back to her B & B and we arranged to meet the following day for lunch in Eyre Square. I then went out to a niteclub and did pills and forgot to meet her. I noticed the time a couple of hours too late and when I rang her she was already half way back to Dublin. She had to pull in the car to talk to me when I rang her because she was crying because she was so hurt that I would leave her standing there for hours. Making your Mum cry kills you.


3. A few years later, when my oldest brothers marriage broke up I invited him to come over to Galway and visit me. He was UTTERLy broke financially and mentally, with three kids under 3 yrs of age. I withdrew some credit union savings and put them in a shoebox that I gave him when he was going home (only put them in a shoebox so that he wouldn't twig that it was money). The idea was that he would at least be able to buy himself a little run-around of a car to get from A to B (my mum and dad lent him their car to come over to Galway). When I checked my phone messages later at work that afternoon, he had left a voice mail on it and he was absolutely niagra that I would do this for him.
To be honest, I think that that whole situation gave me the biggest swelling of fraternal love that I ever experienced in my life. (I almost feel like I atoned for pushing the small school-girl down the grassy knoll).
