PSA: Texting and Walking May Make You (In)Famous



I saw this woman on the local news this morning and she is suing the mall  because she was offended no one came to her aid.

  1. funny, because I am offended by her stupidity. Can I sue her for being a moron?

    People NEVER cease to amaze me dude.

    Did anyone else catch her looking back to see if anyone saw her fall? And the janitor enters the scene right away with his mop and bucket hahaha.

  2. I saw the vid on Gizmodo the other day. It's amazing and I'm sure this woman could maintain her reputation and savings if she instead cashed in on some advertising $$$ featuring her likeness being totally unaware of her surroundings!

  6. Love it Jeff. When was someone supposed to come to her aid? Before or after she fell in the fountain?

  7. She was on the news literally crying because she claims no one helped her. it was sad ... people suck.

    If I did something like this - which is highly possible - I would thank the people for the video, send it to all my friends, post it on the blog, and call Tosh.O and see if we could do a Web Redemption (-:

  10. Maybe she was recovering in the water the way you did after the 1/2 Mary?

    BTW - great race report and great job on the run.

    I am a true believer in HR zone training. I have never been faster.

  11. OMG, that is almost worse (if that is possible) than the person suing McDonalds because the coffee was too hot.

  15. She was trying to sue the mall and then GMA found out she had done alot of credit card fraud in the past and then when they confronted her to see if it was a fraud that she fell in fountain her lawyer said it was nonsense...the lawsuit was dropped and all she wants is an apology....yup sounds legit enough
