If you have a crying jag at work, what's the best excuse for explaining away the red face/eyes and runny nose that come with a tear-filled, at-work breakdown?

Allergies! :)

The first answer is a good one. I would also suggest maybe that you're getting a cold/getting sick.

Having worked in an office that was 98% male, if I found that saying "I'm sorry it's that time of the month" worked well. I also used "damn it I just got my finger caught in my desk drawer and it huuuurts" too. I held my finger and made my exit by saying I was going to go put ice on it. Usually, I could slip out to the ladies room before anyone noticed and pull myself together to avoid questions to begin with. However, any time that I did cry at work it was usually for a very good reason (death in the family for example).

It has happened to me once before, and I said I choked on a piece of hard candy. Then, I worried that I really would choke on one because I said it.
