This makes me sad

[–]BoggleHead 16 points17 points ago

I didn't even know cats could cry...

edit: this is the worst way to find out...

[–]jubbing 52 points53 points ago

I have no idea why you put this in Funny. I got ridiculously sad looking at that cat.

[–]starlinguk 1 point2 points ago

When a cat blinks like that it's giving you a cat smile.

[–]nick041 13 points14 points ago

I feel more sorry for that cat than I do for you.

[–]Slushy515 33 points34 points ago

I can honestly say, no picture or gif has ever made me tear up. That one did.

[–]garrettmikesmith 21 points22 points ago

THIS IS NOT FUNNY

[–]indyK1ng 1 point2 points ago

I think most people were browsing their front page and thought this was gifs or hifw or something.

[–]bitch_im_a_lion 2 points3 points ago

Bingo. I don't know how many times I upvoted a post that didn't belong in a subreddit because I assumed it was in another. (most commonly funny pictures in r/wtf)

[–]KieffsOnRieffs 0 points1 point ago

You can be SO rude sometimes.

[–]sjbennett85 88 points89 points ago

So you can't take your vacation that you booked according to procedure months ago because the boss decided on a whim that they are entitled to take vacation, whenever, and bypass the very same protocol?

Dunno where you work but that smells like some shit that I certainly wouldn't be taking.

Is this some weird sort of small business that can only afford to be down one employee? Or is it a restaurant, where you are some sort of kitchen manager that must stay when the general manager leaves?

I don't get it.

[–]Snowf 183 points184 points ago

OP is sad because now he/she will not get to experience the general awesomeness of having the boss away on vacation.

Had OP booked a trip that didn't coincide with the boss', he/she might have been able to slack off while the boss was out of town.

[–]sjbennett85 45 points46 points ago

ahh, makes sense.

Never thought of it that way.

[–]AdmiralApocalypse 11 points12 points ago

At my last job it was utterly amazing when our boss left. We basically played on our cellphones and got our jobs done much faster because our boss was a bitch of a micromanager. When we weren't having to justify our actions every minute or two, work flowed much smoother and without stress.

[–]Allokit 15 points16 points ago

Thanks for this.. the post made no sense to me too. I was thinking the same thing as sjbennett.

[–]bitch_im_a_lion 2 points3 points ago

I thought OP was crying a joyful cry because he booked the boss's vacation and the boss actutally went on the date op scheduled. (Which didn't make sense, hence why I journeyed here to the comments)

[–]whiskymk 6 points7 points ago

I came here for the cat.

[–]Smoyf 1 point2 points ago

When I read your username at first glance I thought I must have commented on this during some sort of hypnotic trance and then completely forgot about it. Glad to see I'm not crazy.

[–]vinsite[!] 10 points11 points ago

He didn't say anything about his boss telling him he can't go on vacation. Maybe he doesn't want to miss out on a week without his boss up his ass. When my boss goes away, its like a mini vaca for the whole office.

[–]symmitchry 1 point2 points ago

[–]gijyun 44 points45 points ago

In the aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrms oooooooooof the aaaaaaangeeeeeeeeel...

[–]DancingKumquats 44 points45 points ago

NO.

[–]IANALOGOUS 2 points3 points ago

Jacob, keep your shirt on.

[–]PrincessOfDarkWaters 6 points7 points ago

Fuck everything about that!!!!

you ever see those commercials?

[–]dr_dickhead 1 point2 points ago

Everything is a circle jerk. You just gotta strafe through the shit.

[–]314413 3 points4 points ago

i didnt know cats were capable of such emotion

[–]justdanielle90 4 points5 points ago

:'( That hurts

[–]Jennyd242 4 points5 points ago

Same shit happened to me yesterday when I was refused the weekend of a family gathering off. There is nothing more ridiculous than being a crying woman at work. I can't be the only person who cries when they're angry. Stupid ovaries!

[–]Itisme129 1 point2 points ago

It's a shame that you're going to be sick that weekend. It came on so suddenly. Maybe it was the sushi you ate the night before. Maybe you got a bit too much sun and got sunstroke. We will never really know. All that is certain is that there's no way you'll make it to work. Such a shame.

[–]Jennyd242 0 points1 point ago

Alas, even if I truly do get sick I will not be able to miss as they will assume I'm faking. I could walk in front of a car perhaps...hmmm.

[–]smiles11 7 points8 points ago

That is the saddest cat I've ever seen :(( Why is this on /r/funny? I'm going to go cuddle with my cat now and feel happy again.

[–]cleverusernamestaken 2 points3 points ago

Posted on /r/reactiongifs two days ago with almost the exact same title. HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

[–]longboardingleviatha 0 points1 point ago

Good to see I'm not the only person to have that play in my head when I saw that.

..Fllyyyyyyyy aaawaaaaaaaaaay

[–]DiddlyDooDiddle 4 points5 points ago

do cats cry?

[–]CaptainGertie 6 points7 points ago

No, only kill

[–]Walawalawow 5 points6 points ago

I once went to pet my cat and he was crying actual tears like the cat in the .gif. Turns out it was a symptom of a respiratory infection!

[–]JGPH 2 points3 points ago

Considering you booked it months ago, I'm pretty sure you can justifiably say that he can find someone else to fill in for you both since you'll be off doing whatever elsewhere on the planet.

[–]doomfest 2 points3 points ago

I don't care about your boss - this cat is sad and now I am sad.

[–]flangle1 6 points7 points ago

Pussy.

[–]Teets 0 points1 point ago

In plant vacation is always the best. Even better is taking your bosses first two days back as your vacation.

[–]sivablue 0 points1 point ago

This is a good thing, right? You know you are way more productive when your boss is there, yeah? Am I right? Come on. Be honest.

[–]azdak 0 points1 point ago

What horrible fucking place do you have to work at for this to happen? Sounds absurd.

[–]wooogirl 0 points1 point ago

though no one cares I logged in to tell you that I actually lol'd and I never do nor do I say 'lol' unless I actually do

[–]quantumwork 0 points1 point ago

I don't know what to say here - I would most definitely be taking my damn vacation. The boss would lose, even if he had to fire me.

[–]Wumblana 0 points1 point ago

Cats don't cry to show emotion.

[–]SeedsAreUs 0 points1 point ago

Puss and boots?

[–]suppjv 0 points1 point ago

This is the saddest thing I've ever seen.

[–]TjallingOtter 1 point2 points ago

Happened to me today as well.

He hired a temp for that period that same day.

[–]eylyana 0 points1 point ago

This happened to my bf when we had been planning to go to costa rica and see the rhcp!

[–]corriek1975 0 points1 point ago

That gif tore at my heart!

[–]Punkwasher 0 points1 point ago

When my boss goes on vacation...

What? I don't get vacation, EVER! Meanwhile, both my supervisor and my boss have been on vacation several times since I started working here. Oh well... I'm burned out and they'll notice that sooner or later.

[–]letstouchabear 0 points1 point ago

what feat of pure evil could make a cat, the epitome of giving no fucks, cry?

[–]MrMagicpants 0 points1 point ago

I need to hug a kitten.

[–]LieutenantTickles 0 points1 point ago

Why are you crying kitty?

[–]drunxor 0 points1 point ago

I just died of sadness...

[–]emperornibble 0 points1 point ago

This happened so many times at my last job that I flipped out on my boss, who is my cousin, and screamed at him "I'm done being his fucking bitch, I quit!" It was sudden, but god damn I worked my ass off for him and anytime I would be like. "Hey, its been 4 weeks since I had a day off, what gives?' and he would just tell me I was lucky to have a job and that I would never find anything better so I should quit being a whiny little bitch about it and honor the contract. THE CONTRACT. I never signed any kind of contract that stated I would not get days off or that I would constantly have my scheduled and approved days taken away so he could go to a park. I barely talk to him at all any more, way too many hard feelings on my end. After 3 years of loyal service I think I deserve my time off.

[–]rfmitch1 0 points1 point ago

Men in Black. The collar is Orion's belt. Fell into deep depression realizing the saddening fact of the meagerness of one's own existence. Check pic again to see if less sad now... is not. Cry realizing enlightenment. Upvote for breaking threshold into nirvana. Downvote for not encapsulating others. Release down vote because of good in everything. Re down vote for the bad in everything. Commit RFMITCH1 in insane asylum for the feel of the cat emotion.

[–]Indigoh 0 points1 point ago

I got into an argument with my friends about weather this cat really shed a tear or if the image was manipulated.

[–]bluereaper75 0 points1 point ago

damn you.

[–]carson378 0 points1 point ago

[–]Launchy21 0 points1 point ago

Is this real? Can cats really 'cry' like that?

[–]nomis_nehc 0 points1 point ago

That is nearly the saddest thing ever.

[–]ofwinehotwine -1 points0 points ago

I actually cried...

Man I need to see more cats crying on this site.
