So, even though the way you make it sound is that this person is unjustified with her tears, I wasn't there and can't say. Who knows, maybe you're an evil boss?

No doubt Maleficent is evil, but surely not in a bad way.

I have been in this situation before. I can usually tell it’s going to happen when I say, “let me explain this to you, then when I'm done, ask me if you have any questions. Okay, click on “start, then..."

“You mean the start button down in the left corner?”

“Yes, the only start button on the screen.”

“WAHHHHHHH!”

That’s an abbreviated version, of course. Thank God where I work now everybody is more competent than me and I get to be the crier.
