I've cried in my advisor's office during underad as well as grad school, and may well do so again today, in fact...
In my case, it's a result of feeling cripplingly inadequate and angry at myself for letting my advisor down/making them think I was an idiot etc. Hating myself for being pathetic enough to cry doesn't help, either.
Both times I've felt horrible about making my advisor deal with my patheticness, too, but I don't have any advice for dealing with it from the other side.
