No matter how expensive something is, it isn’t worth a life! Too impulsive!

Even if it was because you felt your girlfriend was buying something too expensive [spending too much money], you can choose other methods of deal with it, such as breaking up, so did you have to choose suicide? Truly not a man. Sure, you have a lot of pressure/stress, but if you have the courage to choose suicide, do you not have the courage to break up? Seriously.

So stupid! You dying means absolutely nothing to a girl, merely [an opportunity] to change boyfriends.

Idiot. With this kind of person, even if he didn’t commit suicide here, he’d commit suicide for something else in the future.

Woman Shops For 5 Hours Straight, Tired Boyfriend is Fed Up and Jumps to His Death

Sina Entertainment News — According to Taiwanese media reports, a girlfriend insisting upon shopping results in a boyfriend really jumping to his death! This ridiculous mishap happened inside a Jiangsu province Xuzhou shopping mall when a 38-year-old man accompanying his girlfriend shopping ended up shopping continuously for 5 hours. The man wanted to go home but the girlfriend wanted to continue, with both of them getting into a fight. In a fit of anger, the man threw down the various large and small bags he had been carrying and jumped off the 7th floor of the shopping mall, dying on the scene.

The incident occurred in Xuzhou’s International Shopping Center, and according to the shopping mall’s surveillance footage retrieved by the Xuzhou City Drum Tower Public Security Sub-Bureau, at a little past 3pm on December 7th, this man entered the shopping mall from the south entrance. Police questioned the crowd of surrounding onlookers and they all indicated that the man had jumped off in suicide, with the reason unexpectedly being that his girlfriend wanted to buy something but the man thought it was too expensive. Because the matter is extremely odd, even the British Daily Mail substantially reported it.

According to statements from the crowd of surrounding onlookers, the two were arguing at the time, saying how they had shopped level-by-level continuously for 5 hours, that the man felt very tired and wanted to go home, but the girlfriend insisted on continuing to shop and continuing to make purchases. The two thereupon argued and the man loudly criticized saying: “You have more shoes than you can wear in this lifetime, why do you still want to shop in this shoe store?” The girlfriend retorted: “You cheapskate, you’ve ruined the Christmas mood!”

The man, presumably unable to handle the provocation, angrily threw all the large and small bags of clothing and goods he had been carrying onto the ground, then immediately climbed over the railing and jumped off from the 7th floor down into the atrium. Many of the 1st floor store employees only heard the sound of the impact, as the man fell next to the Christmas decorations, with blood all over the floor. The man may have also hit the nearby display stand, and the scene was one of chaos.

Although shopping mall staff immediately reported the incident, when emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene, they discovered that the man had died immediately upon impact. Although The Daily Mail named this man Tao Hsiao, as for whether this man is actually surnamed Xiao, police have yet to confirm to outside sources and have temporarily left the man’s identity a mystery.

I’m reminded of a saying: If a person doesn’t even have the patience to go shopping with you, how can you expect them to spend a life with you [be faithful]?

If you don’t have money, don’t find a girlfriend that likes shopping.

Five hours, does this woman has fucking problems?

Woman, just how merciless, how frightening you must be that you can drive an earnest 38-year-old man to such an end.

This story (should be an accident), teaches people a truth: There is a limit to a man’s patience.

Girlfriend Shops for 5 Hours and Wants to Continue, Man Pleads But is Ignored, Turns Around and Jumps to His Death

Original Title: After Shopping for 5 Hours, Girlfriend Wants to Continue, Man Turns Around and Jumps to His Death

The Christmas holiday approaches, and large shopping malls have all adorned themselves with pretty decorations, as well as various discount, attracting consumers to enter. It was because of Christmas shopping that a fatal case happened a few days ago in Xuzhou of China’s Jiangsu province. That day, a 38-year-old man surnamed Xiao and his girlfriend arrived at a large local shopping mall to go shopping, starting from the first floor and shopping their way up level by level, shopping a total of 5 hours.

Xiao told his girlfriend that he was already very tired and wants to go home, but the girlfriend insisted “have to shop one more store”. Eyewitnesses indicated that the two began loudly arguing, with Xiao shouting at his girlfriend: “You have more shoes than you can wear in this lifetime, and you still want to go shopping in a shoe store”. Not to be outdone, the girlfriend replied: “You cheapskate, you’ve ruined the Christmas atmosphere”. Here, Xiao threw down the large and small bags he had been carrying, and jumped down into the building’s courtyard, slamming into the shopping mall floor next to the Christmas decorations with a bang, blood all over the ground.

Witnesses hurriedly called the police, and emergency medical personnel immediately arrived to take the man to the hospital, but were unable to turn around a hopeless situation.

Able to throw away one’s life for love! O(∩_∩)O Hahaha~
(What the fuck does Christmas have to do with us Chinese people?)

凤凰网江苏省扬州市网友：fhlter

Why not just dump her?

凤凰网北京市网友：北京老哥

This kind of girlfriend is a bane to humanity.

凤凰网湖北省武汉市网友：好好先生50325

I don’t know what to say after reading this. Was it worth it for the man to jump to his death? It’s just a girlfriend, she can be dumped. The woman is awful as well. Forget about her being inconsiderate, what’s the point of buying all that stuff when you can’t even take it with you can’t even fit it all in your coffin?

凤凰网福建省福州市网友：凤凰网友

This man is a SB.

凤凰网湖南省邵阳市网友：地区私务员

This kind of woman is too perverse/abnormal as well, 5 hours? Fuck.

凤凰网广东省深圳市网友：云南旅游信息网

Uncle Jack Ma would be angry if he knew about this, dear, you can go on Taobao and shop for 10 hours without being this tired.

凤凰网福建省泉州市网友：凤凰网友

China’s education/upbringing has problems! This man’s psychological resilience is so lousy! At the same time, his method of handling a problem is extremely negative. A tragedy of history.

凤凰网江西省吉安市网友：萧潇剑气

What’s the benefit of having this kind of girlfriend, might as well dump her. Accompanying her for 5 hours, paying and carrying her bags; such a nice boyfriend and she can’t even show some understanding? This woman is heartless.
Actually, she could’ve just let her boyfriend go to the arcade or cinema to relax and she can go shopping by herself until the end of time without anyone questioning/complaining.
A woman’s lifelong shortcoming is also her strength: Not getting tired when shopping!

凤凰网江苏省南通市网友：干净的马桶

Why bother? Was this woman that important to you?
