A woman spent an entire week in a KFC eating fried chicken wings after being dumped by her boyfriend, because she needed time to think.

The lovesick woman went to the fast food chain in search of some comfort food to get over the break-up. Seven days later she was still ordering chicken wings with a side of extra large fries at the KFC by a train station near her home.

She even phoned in sick to work, to stay at the restaurant. “I was walking around feeling miserable and decided to stop off at the KFC. I hadn’t planned on staying there long; I just wanted some chicken wings. Once I got there and started eating, I decided I needed time to think. I didn’t want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him. So I stayed.”

After a few days KFC employees began to worry about her. One said, ”At first no one really noticed her but after a few days I began thinking she looked really familiar and I realized we had been serving her for the past three days and that she hadn’t actually ever left the store. When we asked her if she was okay, she said she was and just needed time to think and then asked for another box of chicken wings with extra large fries.” He said that she was doing no harm eating her way through boxes of chicken so they let her stay. He added, “she was, after all, a paying customer, even if a bit of an odd one.”

The sad woman decided she had had enough when local media turned up after a week. “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 ill, and I was getting sick of the taste of chicken so there was no point in staying there anymore.” She then boarded the next train to her parents’ home.

One Waitress sighed, “I guess we kind of miss her. It certainly made work more interesting.”
