...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.

I was going to say, I thought TommyGT had finally had enough and decided to put his feet down.


To be honest... when I first saw the news article on my FB news feed, I thought of TommyGT and immediately posted this news in off topic... :whiste:

This is why you choose girls carefully. They are nice initially but turn into mega bitches.

Well he damn sure got his point across, but that will not stop her from buying those shoes. Nothing will... ever.

Why not toss the shoes and tell his girl friend to take a hike in her new shoes?

Why not toss the girlfriend off the balcony instead of jumping?

"But officer, when I told her that not only was I not going to continue shopping, I was taking everything back, she flipped out and jumped off."

Death was better than living with that woman clearly. If he had killed her he would have had to deal with prison.

I wonder if this wasn't some forced relationship and he was going to end up living essentially a life of servitude to pay off her spending habits, and so decided he'd rather die than live such a miserable life.

NORMALLY, I'd say, "IF you're smart enough, you can get away with almost anything," but obviously, the guy wasn't nearly smart enough, because, not only did he take his own life...he was tied up with such a female in the first place.

Not all of them. Just avoid the materialistic gold diggers who see you as nothing more than an accessory/ATM.

I applaud this guy for putting his foot down, but he didn't need to drop it from 7 stories. Walking out of the store (while remaining in possession of his wallet) would have sufficed.

"Shop all you want. With your money."

It's funny how people deal with situations. Instead of getting a divorce, people cheat. Instead of getting counseling, people commit suicide. In this case, instead of just dumping her or leaving the store, he jumped off a balcony. Obviously he had deeper issues than this, but Asian cultures also tend to have way more pressure-induced stress than other cultures. I mean, just look at this article where they hooked high-school kids up to IV drips for exam prep:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-stakes-tests/2012/05/10/gIQAMZw2GU_blog.html

How’s this for extreme? Students at a Chinese high school hooked themselves up intravenously — with the help of teachers — to amino acid supplement drips to study for high-stakes exams in an effort to boost their performance.

According to the China Daily , high school students at Hubei Xiaogan No 1 High School in central Hubei province were using the amino acids to prepare for university entrance exams in June, believing the supplements would give them energy and improve their memory.

Teachers, trying to be helpful, helped rig the IVs to fixed iron wires in the classroom to hang the bags filled with the amino acids. And, the China Daily said, parents had asked the school to provide extra amino acids for their children, who were exhausted from school and studying.

A 17-year-old student who would only go by the surname Chi told China Daily: “I don’t think it’s inappropriate at all... Students preparing for the college entrance examination at our school began to take infusions of amino acids years ago and some of them took them more than twice.”

Women shop, guys buy. Who here would feel bad making a gf/wife walk through a video game / electronics store for an hour? I know I would. Yes I know there are exceptions.

According to the wisest sage of our time, Mr Patrice O'Neil, the best way to have prevented this tragic incident would be a testosterone powered man. Because bitches like to think they have power over their man, and you have to be ready to walk to show them otherwise.
