We've all been there - you get dumped, your flat contains too many memories of your ex, so you freak out and refuse to sleep in your own bed/haunt friend's flats like a sad single ghost. Tan Shen, however, took this one step further. She walked into a KFC in a train station in Chengdu, China, sat down and decided she needed time to think, so didn't leave. The staff didn't notice until three days in, but when the media started taking interest a week later, Tan Shen left and a member of staff lamented: ‘I guess we kind of miss her. It certainly made work more interesting.’
Amazing.
'‘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,' she told The Metro. 'I didn’t want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him. So I stayed.’
Apparently, once she'd ordered some chicken and had a think, she just wanted to have a bit more of a think. So told staff, when they enquired (three days in) whether she'd be leaving any time soon, that she just wanted to have another think. Then she ordered another box of chicken wings and extra large fries.
The 26 year-old is no longer there, having decided to go and stay with her parents after the media started coming in and taking pictures. Power to her. It beats sitting on your own eating chicken wings and crying into your ex's old socks.
