Reddit Put a Finger Down: One prompt exposed my toughest friend as a total softie

You have to understand, my friend Dev is the human equivalent of a protein shake. Deadlifts more than I weigh, calls everything "soft," once described a sad movie as "fine, I guess." We assumed he had no interior life whatsoever.

We're playing Put a Finger Down and someone reads, "Put a finger down if you've ever cried at a TV commercial." Dev's finger goes down FIRST. Before anyone. Instantly. No hesitation.

Dead silence. Then he goes, defensively, "It was the one with the dog waiting at the window for the soldier to come home. That's just objectively devastating." And his voice CRACKED saying it.

We put four more fingers down that round just out of solidarity. Now every game night someone "innocently" mentions the dog commercial and watches him tear up in real time. Softest man alive. We love him.
