I know this is supposed to be tragic, but it makes the saying, 'shop till you drop' sound so literal. A Chinese man jumped to his death after his girlfriend insisted they go into another clothes shop, after 5 hours of shopping. CCTV shows Tao Hsiao, 38, escorting his girlfriend around a shopping mall in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, east China. After five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded to go home.
According to eyewitnesses, he could be heard
saying they already had more bags than they could carry, but she
insisted on going into one more shop where the was a special offer on
shoes. 'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more. 'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.'
Tao ended the argument by dropping the bags and jumping over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic. Tao was killed immediately from the impact of the fall.

Whatsup with these Chinese people and the need to jump to their deaths? The Chinese Government needs to carry out a massive all round Psych evaluation before something really grave happens.
ReplyDeleteLol @ 'shop till you drop'. He didn't have to do that na, haba. Now she'll feel guilty and be haunted by this for the rest of her life.
ReplyDeleteDo people still get haunted for the rest of their lives? I think she'll mourn and move on and may not remember the poor guy after some years.
