End-of-the year sales are a huge temptation for girls, and nothing will stop us from going in a store that has a huge discount signboard. While we could go on for hours strolling around in a mall, one man in China had enough of his girlfriend shopping and jumped off a mall balcony to his death.
Tao Hsiao, 38, and his girlfriend were at the Golden Eagle International Shopping Center in Xuzhou, China, when a heated argument between them happened. It was reported that the couple had been in the mall for five hours and CCTV footages showed that they were carrying a lot of bags from their purchases that day.
However, this proved to not be enough for the girl as she insisted on going to another shoe shop. A witness 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.”
Tao then abruptly ended the argument by throwing the shopping bags onto the floor. He suddenly jumped over the balcony from the seventh floor of the shopping mall and died immediately from the impact of the fall. Shoppers were fleeing in panic as they saw his body falling down and landing on of the stalls in the middle of the mall.
A spokesperson from the Golden Eagle International Shopping Center said, “This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people.”
Well, girls, as much as you love to shop, your man will need a rest, too. Don’t let your shopping addiction affect your loved ones negatively!
