Man leaps to his death after 5 hours of shopping with his girlfriend

She made him shop ‘til he dropped — seven floors to his gruesome death.

 

A man reportedly fed up with his girlfriend’s marathon, five-hour shopping spree, jumped to his death from an upper level of a Chinese mall.

 

Tao Hsiao, 38, had been carrying bags for his shopaholic gal pal around a busy shopping mall in Xuzhou, in the eastern province of Jiangsu province,according to the Daily Mail in London.

When the girlfriend asked him to come with her to one more store — for a shoe sale — Tao lost it, witnesses 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,” one witness said.

 

“She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.”

 

The shouting match then took its tragic turn when Tao tossed all the shopping bags and jumped over a balcony safety railing, dropping seven stories.

 

He clipped several holiday decorations on his way down, before impact and death.

The argument’s shocking conclusion, sent terrified shoppers scrambling. First responders said Tao was killed in impact.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
