Teen Girl Falls In Open Manhole While Texting

Scorpion · 07-13-2009, 09:14 AM

Looks like texting isn't only dangerous while driving.

drift90 · 07-13-2009, 09:20 AM

Well, yeah the city fucked up in a way

She should have watched where she is walking...

I can be texting and I know I always peep forward every 2-3 seconds..

* BE aware of your surroundings.

As idiotic as walking into a tree lol

yeah like she would have notice cones, she missed a hole in the ground, so if the guys was down there and it there were cones and she fell on top of him, could he sue her.

BTW, I believe in NYC you are not allowed to text and walk on the streets, since they do not want people walking out into traffic.

Kiemyster · 07-13-2009, 11:51 AM

LOL yea i saw this on channel 7 news 2 nights ago.... my pops and i had a good laugh lol! its sad though, she got pretty fucked up in terms of scars all over. it even looked like some shit got imbedded into her back (literally).

the funniest thing was all she got was an apology. realistically, if it was me, i would sue for the big bank of cash. lets be real here, even though she was texting, if there were cones there she would have walked into the cone, and not the 6+ foot deep hole in the ground. if i was here, i'd be gearsing up for court!

im gonna have to second that one. You'd feel the difference in elevation of the sidewalk to the asphalt.... so technically youd have to be a dumb FUCK to get that done.

You have not meet enough stupid people in your life have you, this girl is prime example, come on was most likely looking down at the phone when she was typing and missed the fact there was hole in the ground.

I guess it has happen in NYC, because people looking down at the phone while walking and do not notice the signal change and they just walk out into the intersection.

boymonkey · 07-13-2009, 05:18 PM

Yeah the area should have been blocked off. Cones plus tape!

The report says Wednesday night...so if it was dark at the time then I can understand, especially without any cones or warnings around the manhole.

ToothDoc · 07-13-2009, 11:27 PM

This shit pisses me off. So she sues, they will settle, and guess who ends up paying for it? All of us citizens and the taxes we pay. Bullshit. Total bullshit. I hope some rich SOB rear ends me so I can sue him for punitive damages so I don't have to work forever.

josephr25 · 07-14-2009, 01:31 AM

Remember the Simpsons episode (Radio Bart) where Bart falls down a well? The ending was that Willie put up a sign saying, "Caution: Well."

JeF4y · 07-14-2009, 04:08 PM

Whatever we do as a society, please dear God, don't ever make us personally responsible for anything!

What next? She sues the city because she trips over a curb while texting? Hello?!?! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
