I know we’ve all felt like this, but it doesn’t often end this way…
She made him shop ‘til he dropped — seven floors to his gruesome death.
A man reportedly fed up with his girlfriend’s marathon, five-hour shopping spree, jumped to his death from an upper level of a Chinese mall.
Tao Hsiao, 38, had been carrying bags for his shopaholic gal pal around a busy shopping mall in Xuzhou, in the eastern province of Jiangsu province, according to the Daily Mail in London.
When the girlfriend asked him to come with her to one more store — for a shoe sale — Tao lost it, witnesses 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,” one witness said.
“She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.”
The shouting match then took its tragic turn when Tao tossed all the shopping bags and jumped over a balcony safety railing, dropping seven stories.
He clipped several holiday decorations on his way down, before impact and death.
Crazy story! Hey, but not a “Gun Death”!
And in Gun-Free China! The same place where a man with a knife can stab dozens of children in a school without being challenged or stopped! If they ban all knives, he could still do it with a screwdriver.
Wouldn’t we all feel safer like that?
