The Unholy Trinity of Tears (No Physical Harm Involved)

Oh, you’ve opened the floodgates, my friend. Let me hit you with the three things that have made me ugly-cry multiple times without a single bruise to show for it:
1. That one scene in [Toy Story 3]
You know the one. The incinerator, The clasped hands, The resignation to their fate, I’ve seen it at least five times, and every. Single. Time. I turn into a sobbing puddle of "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, PIXAR?!" My dog side-eyes me like, "You chose to watch this… again?"
2. When my Wi-Fi cuts out mid-video call. One second, I’m laughing with friends, the next - frozen pixelated horror. The spinning wheel of doom. The “reconnecting…"message that might as well say "abandon all hope." I’ve cried actual tears over this. Twice? Try twelve times. Technology betrayal hits harder than my ex.
3. Dropping food. Specifically, the last bite. That perfect, saucy, was-gonna-save-it-for-later bite of burrito? Gone. Floor-bound. The five-second rule is a lie, and my soul aches. I’ve mourned lost snacks more than some relationships. Judge me.
Honorable mention: Realizing I left my charger at home at 8% battery. That’s a spiritual crisis right there.
So yeah, no fists were thrown, no bones were broken just emotionally sucker-punched by life’s tiny tragedies. What about you? What’s your "why am I crying over this AGAIN?" thing?
Please say I’m not alone.
