Tao Hsiao was shopping with his girlfriend in Jiangsu province, east ChinaAfter five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded to go home
When she insisted they go into another shop the 38-year-old chucked the bags to the floor and jumped over the balcony

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.

:huhldup:

Went out Like a boss..

Man after reading this I see the cruel twist ....she shopped 'til he dropped.......On the other hand... he did avoid shoe shopping :yeshrug:

This was posted by someone yesterday.:yeshrug:
If so..... My bad that I'm late Pon da scene with this one!
7 floors though? That must be one big assssss gigantic mall....I applaud this china man for putting his foot down, but he didn't need to drop it from 7 stories. Walking out of the store (while remaining in possession of his wallet) would have sufficed:manny:

It's funny how people deal with situations. Instead of getting a divorce, people cheat. Instead of getting counseling, people commit suicide. In this case, instead of just dumping her or leaving the store, he jumped off a balcony. Obviously he had deeper issues than this, but Asian cultures also tend to have way more pressure-induced stress than other cultures. I mean, just look at this article where they hooked high-school kids up to IV drips for exam prep:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...w2GU_blog.html

How’s this for extreme? Students at a Chinese high school hooked themselves up intravenously — with the help of teachers — to amino acid supplement drips to study for high-stakes exams in an effort to boost their performance.

According to the China Daily , high school students at Hubei Xiaogan No 1 High School in central Hubei province were using the amino acids to prepare for university entrance exams in June, believing the supplements would give them energy and improve their memory.

Teachers, trying to be helpful, helped rig the IVs to fixed iron wires in the classroom to hang the bags filled with the amino acids. And, the China Daily said, parents had asked the school to provide extra amino acids for their children, who were exhausted from school and studying.

A 17-year-old student who would only go by the surname Chi told China Daily: “I don’t think it’s inappropriate at all... Students preparing for the college entrance examination at our school began to take infusions of amino acids years ago and some of them took them more than twice.”
