Random Burst of Tears

[Mr. Emoticon Man]

So, I'm sitting here at one of the university computers, doing some research while also perusing a few forums I frequent, when the girl at the computer next to mine suddenly starts bursting into tears. I was struggling with the urge to turn to her and ask her what was wrong or something, but before I could decide if that'd be the right thing to do or not a friend/boyfriend/whatever came over, gave her a big, familiar hug, and led her away.

Anyone else been present when a complete stranger started a rather hardcore round of crying while you were right there next to them? And if so, what did you do?

can't say as I've seen anything like this
