Girl Falls In Mall Fountain While Texting

We've all be warned about the dangers of texting and driving but for one woman she found, to her peril, that texting and shopping is also not a good idea.

A shopping mall security surveillance video has shown how a woman became so distracted by her cell phone that she fell head first into a fountain, getting completely drenched.

The unknown woman was walking in a straight line while texting on her phone, oblivious to what was around her - or directly in front of her.

The inevitable happens when her inattentiveness leads to her falling into the icy fountain, which is unlikely to have been heated.

The woman then immediately steps back out of the fountain and makes a hasty exit.

It will probably not be only her clothes that need to be dried out, her phone that she was so preoccupied with would have been sodden too and likely had to be replaced.

The video was posted with commentary by what is believed to be laughing mall employees who watched the video over and over.

They then shared it with other colleagues before uploading it to YouTube for others to laugh at.

After watching the woman's embarassing fall, a worker is captured saying: 'And then she just awkwardly walks away'.

'Oh my God! Play it back, play it back', one viewer said, wanting to see the hilarious footage again.

The worker then shows the woman's fall from a different angle which brings more hoots of laughter.

One of the housekeeping staffers apprently walked up to the lady to see if she was hurt.

The security guard said: 'Paedro asked her if she is alright and she said, "Yes - I'm just a little wet."'

Texting while driving has been banned in many states and the risks of distractedly tapping on a cell phone while behind the wheel are obvious.

But pedestrians injuring themselves while walking has also become a worrying trend.

May it be a crack in the sidewalk, a stop sign pole, a fellow pedestrian or even a parked car, people's obsession with their cell phones are landing them with an increasing number of injuries.

They should rehire the security gaurd, he was fired for posting this video!!! You can't even see her face!!! The IDIOT went on national tv and showed her face to the world (and the police) she had warrants for fraud, hit and run, theft (stealing a co workers credit card and charging thousands of dollars and God knows what else...) Because the IDIOT was trying to sue the mall, now he is out of work!! NOT RIGHT!!! thumbs up if you agree

[Viewerofvideoss]

So now this lady wants to sue the mall. She is claiming pain & suffering. Do not blame the mall - blame Darwin and natural selection.

[PedAdvocate]

What ever became of the lawsuit she threatened?

[RealPauper]

4 prior convictions for retail theft, facing charges for identity theft ... She's running a major SCAM !!! She wants money from the mall to pay her sizable attorney fees !! SHE'S A THIEF, period !! She's lucky it wasn't MY credit card she stole and charged $5000.00 on ... I would've THROWN her into that fountain and held her down till she STOPPED BREATHING !!!

@Viewerofvideoss no blame her dumb dumb ass for not paying attention

[mannequinwizard]

I dont see how it can be so awesome all she did was accidently fall into a fountain accidents happen all the time but she made it worse making a big deal because she probly didnt like it that she was looking dumb in a video but clearly you cant really make out her face its very dark.

@susanboylefanforever

Yes i remember that, When this video came out you could never see her face and then her own dumbass self went on national television HERSELF VOLUNTARILY to try and sue.

If she would of just forgot about it, everyone would of forgotten about it and noone would of known who she was.

I hope she gets mocked where ever she goes as punishment.

[nintwiggy6491]

The guys commenting on this video are morons.

Theyre having a laugh about this like its the most exciting thing that's happened to them. Event of the year for them probably.
