One young man may be regretting banning his girlfriend from shopping online on Singles Day after she bought 100 pairs of shoes in an act of revenge. The woman from Chengdu, Sichuan province spent 20,000 yuan ($3,280) on 100 pairs of shoes at a local shopping mall, ECNS reports.
A Weibo user who originally reported the story said she came across the woman buying the shoes on Friday. "She ordered staffers at the mall to tape some of the shoes to the outside of her car, since the Smart car is too small to hold so many shoes," the woman wrote.
An official at the shopping mall confirmed this was true: "We did receive a client who bought 100 pairs of shoes at the mall last Friday."
"We think she did it to take out anger on her boyfriend, who banned her from shopping online on Nov 11, Singles Day, since one of our employees heard her while she was talking with her friend on the phone," he added.
Local media tracked down the lady in question and asked her about the incident and she confirmed the shoe spree was her form of vengeance against her now ex-boyfriend. "My boyfriend didn't allow me to buy anything online during Singles Day, so I broke up with him. I missed the golden chance for shopping," said 26 year old Wang Yuan.
Singles Day is the largest online shopping event in the world. This year shoppers spent 30 billion yuan ($4.9 billion) on Taobao and Tmall, smashing last year's record of 19.1 billion yuan ($3.1 billion).
