Gorging on comfort food is pretty much a given when dealing with a breakup, but one woman decided to take her heartbreak public by camping out at a local KFC for seven days.

After being dumped by her boyfriend, Tan Shen says she was walking the city feeling depressed when she decided to stop into a KFC outlet in a train station in Chengdu China, reports Metro UK.

After ordering some chicken wings, Shen realized going back to her apartment would be too difficult.

?I hadn?t planned on staying there long, I just wanted some chicken wings.  But once I got in there and started eating I decided I needed time to think,? Shen said.  ?I didn?t want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him. So I stayed.

Luckily for Shen, the place where she camped out is open for 24 hours. At first, the lovesick woman went unnoticed by employees since they work in different shifts.

"At first no one really noticed her. But after a few days I began thinking she looked really familiar. Then I realized we had been serving her for the past three days and that she hadn?t actually left,? Jiang Li Lung, a KFC employee said.  

Shen ordered more wings and fries and continued to stay in her booth. After a week, local media reportedly started flocking to the restaurant so Shen decided it was time to leave.

"I decided the best thing to do would be to leave the city and go back to my parents. I had already told work I was off sick, so phoned them and said I was leaving,? Shen said.

"And I was getting sick of the taste of chicken so there was no point in staying there anymore."

Never undstand when people get so wrapped up in someone that you do something like this

 

 

I think this behaviour is unusual, but the pain felt by betrayal or rejection can lead people to do all sorts of things. Let's be honest, there is a whole list of other, much more destructive things, she could have done to cope.

I already know the answer to this but she was off sick but eating KFC? I assume her sickness was somehow also related to her relationship ending?

 

This women has issues, I'm sorry the relationship ended but life does not stop. Sitting down and moping about is NOT going to make things easier.

I don't feel the least bit of pity for people that jump to food when dealing with loss.

 

Is it sad that her boyfriend walked out on her? depends on the circumstances.

Are there other things she could have done beside sitting in a slump? definitely.

How's the view from that high horse you're riding?

Pause for gasp: not everyone is you. Everyone has their own way of dealing with pain. It's no wonder so many people are miserable with judgemental narcissists jumping down their throats at any and every opportunity.

Actually, if you read it, at no point does it say she was binge eating, she stopped at KFC to get food, didn't want to go home so she sat there thinking

And had more food at some point, given it was a week, even though I hate KFC, I can understand how she would order more than once.

 

Now, that said, she's not very good at coping with loss/rejection

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.

Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment.

This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737."

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
