Boyfriend Commits Suicide During Marathon Christmas Shopping Spree

Guys, we’ve all been there. Go shopping with your girl, and next thing you know your feet start hurting after 30 minutes. You ask her to go shopping by herself and pick you up at the pub in 2 hours, but she says no, she needs your opinion on the 30 things she is going to pull off the shelf and maybe only buy 1 item. You end up carrying her purse and the four shopping bags while she ducks into yet another changing room to try to squeeze her ass into a pair of tight jeans. And after four hours of this, all you want to go is go home, but she is on a streak and just wants to go to one more store. If you had a gun you’d want to put it in your mouth. We’ve all thought about it. And maybe we’ve fought about it. This poor bastard in China actually killed himself rather than to go into one more effing store.

From the DailyMail here:

A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop.
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.

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.

An eyewitness said: ‘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.’

The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped 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.

‘He actually landed on one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although the store was damaged it meant he didn’t hit anybody.
‘This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people.’

In my mind, I hear a Wilhelm scream when he hits the christmas decorations on the way down. Shopping with a shrewish, nagging woman, at Christmas, for more than two hours, will drive a man to jump to his death. Anything to make it stop. Death is sometimes preferable to shopping with some women.
