:facepalm:

[Soundy]

She's pissed that everyone is laughing at her now... stupid thing is, if she'd kept her mouth shut, NOBODY WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS HER.

Actually, that video is such poor quality... I'm starting to wonder if the chick who's suing is even the chick in the video, or just someone trying to cash in on it.

exactly, if she shut up about it...people would just be laughing at the stupidity of that person instead of laughing AT her

and now she's suing the mall for what....not having a railing around the 1 feet deep pool?? :failed:

[Nightwalker]

What a retard, what she's doing now is destroying her reputation worse than falling into some water.

[orange7]

now this one woman is going to start up a new law, No Texting While Walking.

[rJZx]

LOL what a fucking retard.... lets be a retard and sue the mall cause they placed that fountain there where people can tumble into...

[quasi]

LOL, we want an appology, to know how it got on youtube and all responible parties identified.................no you don't, you want money asshat!

[buddy]

why not sue the phone manufacturer and netowrk provider as well?

[InvisibleSoul]

She's not (contemplating?) suing for the fact she fell in... it's for not getting any help afterward from security guards?

[spoon.ek9]

not really unexpected from someone stupid enough to walk into a fountain while texting :lol

there IS no cure for stupid.

[metal]

LOLOLOL what a dumbass, honestly.

[LiquidTurbo]

I seriously want to punch this lady in the face. But... I would get sued. Why do people keep trying to blame other people on their own stupidity?

[AzNightmare]

Who the hell keeps laughing in the background? sound like a bunch of clowns laughing. Kind of annoying.

[Gnomes]

Too bad, now there is a name associated with that youtube video. The lady should have gotten this app:

i think its the security guards showing co-workers the replay if you listen. bitch is dumb, court is just gonna throw this out so fast with that amount of video evidence :haha:

[PiuYi]

how does she want the mall security to come to her aid?? she got right back up and walked out of the fountain fine on her own....

[TheKingdom2000]

You did learn a big lesson huh?

"Absolutely, absolutely George. umm DO NOT TEXT and WALK umm, especially to the younger generation. Umm, it couldn't it it it it cooulld.. the fountain could have been empty, umm I could have been in the hospital, ahh I could have walked into a bus you knowww, got hit by a car, it can happen anywhere, anywhere"

LMAO

There's no way from that video that you can tell it's her. That's the stupidest part - if it really was her, and she was so embarrassed about it, she could have just kept her mouth shut, and basked in the anonymity.

Yeah, she was on cnn this morning. It's ridiculous what she's claiming. She complains that nobody went to check on her, but she got right up and walked out of the mall. If I slip and fall out of my own stupidity in a restaurant, get up and walk away, I can't sue them for not checking on me.

Plus the whole identity thing; she contacted mall security once she found out her fall went viral (coworker showed her the video) and the chief said "the video, at least, doesn't show your face". "But I know who I am!" She apparently replied. During the interview she bust the tears out a couple times, saying "you can't understand, it's not FUNNY when it's YOU!"


She's just butthurt and lashing out. An ambulance-chaser managed to track her down and is now doing whatever he can to squeeze a dime or two out of this.

I'm not a lawyer, but could the error instead be in the fact that the security guards releasing a video of her out to public? and not inadequate railing or check up by security?

Other than that, I see no other erroneous acts by the mall or security; and the above is even grey for me.

[Ikkaku]

^ that would be the best bet. For sure it's not ethical for something like this to be released into the public, which [un]fortunately became viral. At the same time, all this is within a private area, so they may be able to do as they please with their security videos.

The railings debate is not as viable because this is not a common occurance. There is nothing to model the ruling under, it would leave far too much grey area. If, say, she slipped right before hitting the railings due to water on the ground, and they did not have adequate signs to warn her, then that would be a reason for a lawsuit. With her scenario, she just slips at the edge of the fountain.

I could be very wrong, however.

[orange7]

she's like the female version of AsNoobAsItGets.

:noob:

[Graeme S]

If anyone is at fault for the security video getting released, it's the individual security office and/or whoever else was there. The original video, you can see that it's a guy taping the monitor while other people watch.

The issue is that she would have to prove real damages, and then get over the Streisand effect.

[Qmx323]

Hey man I'm gonna sue the city for putting a wall into my car

[TheKingdom2000]

^ i failed you because your sentence makes no sense.

[dyan]

LOL how do you fall into a fountain while texting.. never thought that would happen until i saw this :D

[mmmk]

why don't we all blindly walk into fountains, get laughed at, then sue ppl for laughing.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

get rich, or die trying.......to walk into a fountain that is

[winson604]

I remember once somebody called my work and said he wanted to seek compensation from the City because his car got shitted on by birds as he was entering a parking garage downtown. At first I thought he was joking but quickly realized that he was damn serious about it. Sorry buddy just because this happened in the City Of Vancouver doesn't mean we are responsible. Is that so hard for people to understand that we are just a municipal government and we are not god of Vancouver.

[TekDragon]

Might be a repost but this is not an isolated incident there are idiots everywhere that darwin just hasn't caught up to yet.

Wonder if this person was related to 'davidhtam'? http://www.revscene.net/forums/giant-man-hole-t576639.html?t=576639&highlight=manhole

[BNR32_Coupe]

"... and a lady came up to me and was like 'are you alright? i want to hug you' but i was like.. wet, so she couldn't hug me."

/later on in the interview/

"... not one person came up to and even asked if i was okay. I didn't get a phone call from anybody to see if I was okay.. it was like I was a big joke"

the jokes on her - we tried calling her to see if she was okay but her phone was busted. OHHH!

[hotong]

hahaha what an idiot

[FerrariEnzo]

title of this thread is mis-leading
shes not sueing coz she's stupid and fell in the fountain.. shes sueing coz the "security" video got out and onto youtube.


Now lets see how funny it is to guy who leaked this video.. hes shitting his pants.. if he gets caught, he'd probably never work in the security field again...

[BNR32_Coupe]

title of this thread is mis-leading

call a lawyer

[vafanculo]

hope she texts and walks into a moving car next time

[bloodmack]

FerrariEnzo is right, he took security camera footage most likely without authority and he could lose his job.

[InvisibleSoul]

I think I read that the security guard already did lose his job.

[Qmx323]

^ i failed you because your sentence makes no sense.


She suing the mall for a "placing" a fountain there. IE NEGLIGENCE

If i can drive into a wall, that's pretty negligent.
my post was implying suing due to negligence is beyond retarded

[you!]

:lol

[orange7]

I wonder what she was texting.

[SupraTTturbo2jz]
