What makes you get teary/emotional?

Peared · 20-05-2008 10:20PM #1

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.

I saw a line of ducks crossing the road yesterday, and all the traffic was stopped. Wonderful sight!

Gary Glitter on the prowl.

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

AARRRGH · 20-05-2008 10:26PM

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.

A lot of songs by Bruce Springsteen.

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!

AckwelFoley · 20-05-2008 10:41PM

What makes me Teary?

The thought of having to come back to Ireland next year where the drink is expensive and the bar will more often than not be closed

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
