Quote:When his girlfriend insisted on prolonging their Christmas shopping marathon, 38-year-old Tao Hsiao leapt from a seventh-story walkway and killed himself in a Jiangsu shopping mall.

Tao and his girlfriend (whose name has not been released) had reportedly been in the Golden Eagle International Shopping Center, in Xuzhou, for some five hours before a rather routine relationship scuffle escalated drastically out of proportion.

Tao told his girlfriend that "she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more," according to a witness. Tao was then accused of "spoiling Christmas," and the shouting match likely would have continued had Tao not chosen that moment to hurl himself over the seventh-story balcony.

Conjurs up the scene from Nutty Professor: "women be shoppin, you can't stop a woman from shoppin."

Ironically, all of her black shoes are open-toe or high heal…
so she’ll need to purchase something more appropriate for the funeral.

I didn't know my wife had a twin sister. I also didn't know my wife was Asian.

I have thought about doing the same thing many, many times myself. The worst is when my wife says she's only going to the store "to pick up a few things," which translates into an endless shopping marathon that never seems to end while I watch my paycheck being blown on frivolous junk that will just end up cluttering up the house.

I'm not sure if I should feel sad or relieved for this guy.

Please....not just men. I would rather kill myself than spend all day going shopping.

Well he showed her.
