Life r/AskUK women Women were asked the weirdest thing they’ve cried about on their period and their answers will have you weeping with laughter Karen Dickinson . Updated April 4th, 2025 Share Tweet If you’re a person with a womb, or, indeed, a person who has ever met a person with a womb (which is all of us), you’ll know that premenstrual syndrome is a very real affliction. There are a variety of unwelcome physical symptoms, from acne to headaches, but one of the worst bits is the mood swings that get you upset about the oddest of things.

They’ve been discussing this on the AskUK subreddit, after user RealisticWishbone717 asked: ‘Girls of the UK, what’s the weirdest thing you have cried about during your period?’ and also added: ‘I’m currently on my period and have been more emotional than usual. I was on a bus home and nearly started crying to the song ‘Bye Bye Bye’ by NSYNC. Not because of laughter etc, but for a genuine sadness listening to the song for some unknown reason.



So I’m curious, what’s the weirdest thing you have cried about during your period?’ And lots of people who’d found themselves blubbing in the unlikeliest of scenarios were keen to share their stories. 1. ‘When the river was frozen and all the ducks were just standing on the side staring at it.

(Pre-period...

obvs). Anyway, I cried tears of joy at the fact I did have jam so my wishes could be fulfilled. Tears flooded endlessly however, when I realised I didn’t have any bread!’ – fuelledbywine12 5.
