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

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

Butthurt woman sues not because shes offended, but because shes a money hungry jew. She just wants to complain. Its obvious, dont text while you walk.

If she could, she'd sue the texting company for not warning her about texting while walking towards a Mall fountain. I once had a blow dryer that said "Warning, do not use while sleeping." So I guess someone sued for that and won.

It's a miracle she didn't drown. But fortunately for her, she realized she was in water, and stopped texting long enough to get out. I don't understand this phenomenon with cell phone and texting epidemic. I had a cell phone, it irritated me so much I paid $150. to end the contract. I don't like being available to contact 24/7 by anyone who wants or needs something and doesn't care if I'm too busy at the time to talk. That lady is an idiot and those who drive while doing the same are also idiots
