This story will hurt your heart. Like, literally.
Desperately in need of some comfort food after being dumped by her boyfriend, Chengdu, China resident Tan Shen zoomed like the wind itself to her local KFC. Embraced by the tender, deep fried embrace of Colonel Sanders, Shen decided that she “needed time to think,” and remained in KFC while she (we’re assuming) thought about her relationship and life.
This vigil ended up lasting about three days when employees finally caught on that this person literally had not left in 72 hours. One of the workers approached Shen, and described their interaction thusly:
“When we asked her if she was ok, she said she was and just needed time to think. And then asked for another box of chicken wings with extra large fries.”
She stayed for a full week until local media got wind of her sit-in for chicken, but when they did reporters quickly descended upon the restaurant to interview this fascinating woman. However, it was this very attention that caused her to finally leave the KFC and return to her parents’ home.
Hopefully, the first thing she did was take a shower.
The enduring questions here are: how long would she have stayed if nobody noticed, and what was the overall calorie count of the food she ate over the week?
