I've heard leaving a tap running (sounds daft to me!)
When I chop onions, it is best to cut the root off last as this is the deadly tear maker part!

I buy the purple onions, they are milder with a good flavor, I refrigerate them first and then I peel the outer skin and run them under cold water after I slice it in half.

Try this, I don't know how but it works!
When chopping an onion, get a dessert spoon, turn it upside down and place the handle in your mouth.

It feels & looks really silly-
but, sticking out your tongue while cutting will absorb the gasses that are being emitted from slicing the onion open.
They make your eyes water, because it is attracted to moisture.
Sticking your tongue out absorbs it more efficiently than your eyeballs, so it will practically stop the tearing from your eyes.

apart from the cold water and the bread use a sharp knife and use Spanish onions they don't make you cry or get frozen ones like i do.

I was told, eat a bit of the onion and then your eyes won't water.
It didn't work for me.
Buy red onions or shallots, they are milder and your eyes water less.
