When she insisted they go into another shop the 38-year-old chucked the bags to the floor and jumped over the balcony

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.

This, and that's why I go shopping with my girlfriend at the outlet mall that has a little bar. Shop all you want honey

"Fuck this shit. I'm done now!"

Like a boss!

Girlfriend, not wife. Throw the shoes over the railing, leave her at the mall, change phone number, file restraining order, be free. Jumping is just a little bit of an overreaction. At least be smart and set it up to look like she pushed him over, she can't shoe shop in jail.

She shopped 'til he dropped.

His way of giving his GF the equivalent of a giant middle finger?

I feel like jumping to my death after going shopping with a girl for more than 30 minutes.

A true martyr.

The only place I've ever minded going shopping is bookstores. After about 45 minutes I can't take it anymore.

Stance of dominance, PERFECTED!

I'm not sure... jumping off a balcony when things don't go your way doesn't really sound like the stance of dominance to me. On the other hand... he did avoid shoe shopping.

Will she even think of taking him shoe shopping again?

Snakes on a Plane might have been improved if, after he had clearly expressed his supreme discontent with the presence of the eponymous snakes in his vicinity, Samuel Jackson had jumped out of the plane.

Poor skinflint.

I'm thinking the shoes weren't his only issue.

Way to totally get the last word on the subject.

Anyone else think of TommyGT when reading this thread?

 

[SSSnail]

Nah, tommygt would have just continued shopping for his girlfriend, and posted a thread about it on ATOT.

...probably post pics of shoes and ask which pair he should recommend to his GF.

And then complain about how he has to get a third mortgage to buy her a $10k purse because she doesn't have anything to match her new shoes. And that she'll leave him if the purse doesn't match the shoes.
