A young man who could not figure out how to deal with rejection like a reasonable adult decided that the best course of action was to disguise some sausages as a bomb and threaten to kill his girlfriend with it if she wouldn’t take him back. He has since been arrested.

According to Shanghaiist, the young man had been trying to get his ex-girlfriend to take him back, but she would not. Last week, after she again told him that she did not want to see him, he wrapped four sausages up to look like a bomb, then sent a picture of it to his girlfriend and said it was a real bomb. He allegedly said that if she did not come see him he would use it to kill her and her family.

There are many ways to win a woman’s heart, but threatening to kill her and her entire family is not one of them.

The man’s sister saw his threat and contacted the police herself. The bomb turned out to just be sausages, but the man has been arrested and charged with endangering public safety.
