That's why I only do it, if I do, in areas I know I won't trip.

I think it is obvious here that there is a massive failure of government to protect a citizen. The real solution is a new law that makes texting while walking a crime.

On the contrary, I think it should be illegal to place things like fountains, walls, trees, roadways, automobiles, sheer dropoffs or any other potentially dangerous structure, mechanism or lifeform in an area where it might be an impediment to someone using any mobile device for conversation, messaging or internet usage. People can't be expected to pay attention to their surroundings when they are in the act of completely pointless communication.Skibo wrote:I think it is obvious here that there is a massive failure of government to protect a citizen.

A few years ago I was walking down 6th Ave. on my way back to Penn Station. As I was crossing the street, I saw a guy coming from the other direction tapping away on his Blackberry. He was oblivious to what was going on. He got to the corner and fell off the curb. I managed to stifle a guffaw but I did chuckle heartily.

If you can do that while walking then surely while driving. That's funny..................but scary.
Texting is a big waste imo. I had texting removed from my plan. Maybe that person had talking removed from their's.

A woman came too dang close to running into my truck with her shopping cart in the parking lot at Sam's yesterday...because she was texting and not paying attention to where she was going! We were sitting still waiting for a car to pull out of the way and I saw her and that cart coming straight for my truck, she looked up just in time. I seriously was ready to kick some ass...Ugh!

The reason those laws happen is because there are a million people who don't want to take responsibility for their own actions and then they sue when their stupidity gets them in trouble. And one of the reasons people don't take responsibility (aside from crummy parenting) is the legions of attorneys willing to take their money to prove that nothing bad that happens to them could possibly be their fault.

According to Perez Hilton, she's lawyered up: 
You've watched the video 700 times. Now, hear from the woman who'll never die down from the embarrassment…and is holding those accountable for posting this video on the internet.
Cathy Cruz Marrero is a 49-year-old born again Christian woman from Reading, PA. On that fateful day when security camera picked up her accident, Cathy was leaving her job at one of the stores at the mall and texting a friend about her birthday.
Then….SPLASH! She recalls to sources:
"I saw the water coming at me, I could see the pennies and nickels at the bottom of the fountain and then I was in it."
Thankfully, she wasn't hurt, at least physically. Emotionally, she's been a wreck ever since the video has been posted on YouTube. Mortified and a bit concerned over why no one came to help her, we've learned she's hired a lawyer, who plans to conduct an investigation into what happened. Her lawyer explains:
"We are troubled by the fact that anyone at the Berkshire Mall responsible for releasing this video would find humor in an employee injured on the premises. We intend to hold the appropriate persons responsible. No one from that security office came to her aid in a timely manner."
That's true. She could have been severely hurt had there been no water in there. But then again, to the security's credit, she walked away unscathed so all's well that ends well, right?
