Chinese man jumps to his death

[Wegra]

Because his girlfriend wanted to go shopping longer

Hope that bitch his happy. Cant blame the poor guy

[Atlas]

Well that escalated quickly.

[yurgenburgen]

i feel bad for the chinese.
after their "communist" government declared that it was good to acquire personal wealth, the chinese really had to hit the ground running to keep up with the kafka-esque nonsense that is consumerist society

[Darthdenim]

I'd commit suicide too if I lived in China.

[Dew]

Shopping could eb a form of torture in the future for some asian men.

"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."

Totally reasonable reaction to getting in a fight with ur gf

[Natick]

i can't completely blame him either

shopping for clothes is god-awful and is only exacerbated when you're chauffeuring for someone who can't make up their mind

Well it is a bit unfair to blame the woman for his death instantly as he likely had other life problems and she probably feels terrible enough now that her lover is dead.

Yeah she was being a bitch, butonly in a tiny snapshot of her life that happened to make the news.

I suspect that there was far more to this relationship that caused his stress levels to skyrocket.

Aye. Quite. Indeed. This.

[sweet21]

That woman is traumatized for life.

[Piggler]

He could've just chilled at the food court instead of ending his life out of impatience.

Unfortunately, these things don't occur to people in the heat of the moment. Had he waited an extra 5 minutes to think about it, he probably wouldn't have done it.

Well, maybe. I don't know how Chinese men think.

[Gobblemeister]

Typical patriarchal status quo to blame the woman for the fact that her boyfriend was too afraid to step out of his machismo male power fantasy long enough to admit that he was oppressing and limiting his partner by suggesting that she was only allowed a certain number of shoes for a 'lifetime' I am sure if it was 401ks or slim jims everything would've been fine but shoes no that's where we draw the line

Must've been one failed relationship. There's better ways to end a relationship though. That's just brutal.

[LittleWashu]

Wow that is crazy. He must have really hated his life if he killed himself over something like that.

[Painbringer]

Sometimes I've felt like doing that over seemingly trivial (but very stressful) little things.

Anyway, I bet he was about to throw HER off the balcony, but had just enough time to think of the social consequences and just right then jumped instead.

After five hours
FIVE HOURS

Don't blame the guy, I'd have given in after three. If anything, he has serious self control.

Really, though, I'm laughing so fucking hard at this. How the hell does shit like this even happen?

[Grotty]

It's amazing he didn't throw her off the balcony, first.

After I read the thread name "Chinese man jumps to his death" I saw the thread right underneath was "Best Christmas story"

Guess the universe wants a sequel to that old movie, "A Christmas story". The Chinese restaurant that killed the cat got the staring roles in the sequel.

In all seriousness though, feel kind of bad for him. Must have been going through a lot of stuff, but he really should of just backed out of shopping with her. At the very least let her know he was depressed and she was not making it better.

Poor guy.

[Xenomit]

I thought the Japanese were the ones always committing suicide though

Isn't a 401K a type of savings account?

Me too, or if I was chinese.

[Boomstick]

Clothes shopping is just absolute torture, but for 5 hours though? Holy shit, I'm pretty sure if you walked around looking through clothes either by yourself or with someone for 5 fucking hours, you'd sooner bite a bullet too.

[orangebomb]

This is what happens when Christmas shopping gets way too serious, especially when that bitch decided to that shopping is more important than her boyfriend. Looks like we found some new material for 1000 Ways To Die.

Every day I get just a little happier about having Anglo-Saxon blood.

[Sensationalism]

I died laughing.
