After getting dumped by her boyfriend, a woman in China realized that only one person could help her in her time of need: Colonel Sanders.
Tan Shen, 26, accidentally on-purpose spent a full week at a 24/7 KFC in Chengdu, calling in sick to work, to mourn the loss of her relationship.
“I hadn’t planned on staying there long, I just wanted some chicken wings,” Tan told Yahoo. “But once I got in there and started eating I decided I needed time to think.”
But is KFC really where you’d want to spend your time of mourning? Are the chicken wings really that good?
After all, Tan herself admits that after a week, “I was getting sick of the taste of chicken, so there was no point in staying there anymore.” (That and local media started showing up to take photos).
Here are some places that might have been better week-long hideaways:
McDonald’s
Find a Play Place and start enjoying the little things in life again.
Walmart
If it’s good enough for a 9-month pregnant woman, as depicted in Where The Heart Is, it should be good enough for the lovesick.
Anthropologie
Just so aesthetically pleasing.
A make-your-own, pay-by-the-pound Fro-Yo shop
Because… cliches.
