I feel your pain. I’ve missed chunks of endings because I’ve had to pop to the toilet to dry my stupid eyes. She can sense it otherwise and starts grinning at me like some kind of terrible shark woman.
Whom I love dearly, obvs.

I deleted my Twitter account a couple of weeks ago. I was weighing up the pros and cons of retaining it and realised the only pro was ‘videos of dogs being reunited with their owners’. A tear in the eye every time.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a video on Twitter. And I probably shouldn’t - if I start following a Twitter account that just posting heartwarming dog videos I’ll just start weeping into my phone until someone puts a blanket over me and leads me away to some place safe.

I watched the wheelchair pig one at work when it first came out and everyone laughed at me but now, even though I don’t even work there anymore, they all still send me videos / pictures of pigs being ace so it was worth it

Once when I was very hungover I watched an episode of the Simpsons where Homer is grabbing onto Marge’s arm and she says in a very pained voice “Homer, you’re hurting me” and I burst into tears for about 5 mins. Definitely realised I needed more sleep at that point.

I remember a dog food ad where at the beginning the dog was a puppy and by the end he was old with a gray face. I’d lose it every single time. Anything that even hints at a dog aging will do it.

The 999 call got me hard too. Especially when you listen to the operator trying to keep her shit together after the mention of the dog and the kitten.

I’m a bugger for getting emotional when I’m tired. The nadir of this was watching Real Steel (the Hugh Jackman father/son robot fighting league film) and crying silently to myself on a long haul flight.

Cried at the end of White House Down
Some NatWest advert a year or so ago. Kid gets a red scarf (?) from his dad as a present, grows up, loses it, someone finds it, somehow his bank have it (?). Dad/son stuff really punches me right in the gut.
ETA -
This one (not gonna watch it):

X-Factor: when a previous contestant returns to the auditions and one of the judges remembers them, and there’s a flashback, and they look genuinely happy to see each other. Cry every time. And the judge probably doesn’t even remember them and has to be told their name before they enter the room. But I still cry. I am pathetic.
that rspca advert is way too much for me
Money well spent, Nationwide.
