I've been trying to provide when I can, and when I can remember ^_-

Here you could say something like 涙をそそる話、namida o sosoru hanashi, "a story that provokes tears", or a お涙ちょうだいもの, o-namida choudai mono, "a 'tears please' thing"; the latter can also be also be "お涙ちょうだい話", o-namida choudai hanashi", but either way with "o-namida choudai" it's far more cynical, as though to say, "Kee-rist, here comes his sob story again ...".
