Depressed Tan Shen, 26, from Chengdu, in China’s southwest Sichuan Province, decided she needed some fried comfort food to get over her ex.
She stopped off at a KFC near a train station by her home, but ended up staying for a whole week because she ‘needed time to think’.
Tan even phoned in sick to work to stay at the KFC, with her break-up clearly hitting her very hard.
She said: "I was walking around feeling miserable and decided to stop off at the KFC at the train station.
'I hadn’t planned on staying there long, I just wanted some chicken wings.
'But once I got in there and started eating I decided I needed time to think."
Worker Jiang Li Lung, 22, said: 'We work in shifts here and the restaurant is open 24 hours a day, so we get a lot of people coming through.
'At first no one really noticed her.
'But after a few days I began thinking she looked really familiar.
'Then I realised we had been serving her for the past three days and that she hadn’t actually left.. .
'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.'
After a week Shen decided she’d had enough when local media turned up and decided to write about her.
'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 off sick, so I phoned them and said I was leaving.
'And I was getting sick of the taste of chicken so there was no point in staying there anymore.'
