Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned... Setting Fire To 400 Mobile Phones

from the now-that's-fury dept

Okay, well, here's a silly story that I couldn't resist writing about because the title practically wrote itself. Over in China, apparently the angry wife of a mobile phone retailer who was upset that her husband was abandoning the marriage gathered up approximately 400 new phones that her husband was trying to sell and set them on fire on their bed (along with some kerosene to help flame the fire).

    Don't worry, she kept the phone that had the best 'silent alert' setting, for those cold lonely nights.

    Wonder if the nagging cell phone in a video game caused this.

    AH yea. I can see why this guy wanted to leave her. Oh and I hope the judge deducts the cost of those phone from the amount of money she gets. Dumb ass bitch.

    i would have burned more than fucking cell phones.....i am myself a woman scorned.the thoughts,the anger,the depression is like no other you may experience.what really hits home is when you know,but people come to you (in a town of 25,000)and tell you things.hell,fire,etc.are the perfect words.fire crosses my body and anger takes charge,once a person who was quiet,calm,easy going,and never confrontational.life is a bitch,to say the least,and sadly,it is not 1958,it's 2008 and MEN DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE,RESPECT,BE HONEST,CARE,TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MOST OF ALL,KEEP IT IN THEIR PANTS!!!HELL HATH NO FURY IS CORRECT..

    It doesn't matter how much stuff she burns... the hurt wont go away that easy. Revenge is sweet but only lasts a little bit. She should've taken pictures of his face, so the feeling could last a little longer...LOL
