A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop.
After five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded to go home.
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.
Tao Hsiao, 38, jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend in a shopping mall
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.
Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed immediately from the impact of the fall.
A shopping spokesman said: 'His body was removed fairly quickly.
'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.'

Would've been better if he threw the bags and walked away.

Daily Mail Online. Oh dear...
Would've been better if he threw the bags and walked away.
Agreed.

Wow.. I also get mad when I go shopping with my girl sometimes, but suicide? Meh. I simply follow her around while eating some ice cream, that calms me down, no matter how mad am I.
Oh, China...

I heard first time suicide for that short reason. :janek:

Maybe throwing her over would have been a better idea...
-
Damn... Now that's a bit extreme, aint it?
-
Good thing this was an isolated case or I would have started fearing for the future of the male species :lol:
Maybe throwing her over would have been a better idea...
Agreed. No one deserves a partner like that.

Or maybe tell her to fack off and walk away? There was no need to throw her over or suicide because every single man already should know how most women go crazy when they're shopping...

What the hell........ I just can't believe :dead:

You're actually right. However I just chose to agree with Antonio because I share the same sentiment, and as a man, find that girlfriend to be an utter bad girl. Defending the species, you know :D
Most women do go crazy when shopping, but this case is over-the-top batshit insane. (this coming from a straight guy who is dragged along often by close female friends on their shopping sprees, so I know the agony)
