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

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
