Chinese guy had enough of Girlfriend's shopping; commits suicide.
 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...thes-shop.html


Tao Hsiao accompanied his GF while she shopped.

After 5 hours of shopping, he refused to go into 1 more shop .

An argument ensured ; he jumped to his death .


Eyewitnesses say 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 made a stand for all men.

She is pretty stupid...it is commonly known that men can't handle proper shopping.

I did 7 hours in Dubai Mall a few weeks back. Brekkie at IHOP, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, lunch at Shake Shack I think, more shopping, shopping, shopping. She wanted to go home before I did.

I did 45 minutes at MCC the other day. It got to the point where I stood in virgin and said 'I've had enough. I need to go home now.'

Pal went to MOE last night, said it was heaving. I'm thinking that all Xmas pressies can be bought on Amazon, gift wrapped and delivered to Mummy's house ready to dish out.

Good shout. As long as the singing / jazz bunch from Harvey Nicks aren't there I'll be alright.
