Lady wants to sue mall for falling into fountain while texting
 

I can't believe it. I hope this doesn't go through. It's her fault, I understand the embarassment but she should NOT sue.

Yea, good luck with that.
Although, some people are successfull in claiming others are at fault for their own stupidity. And win!
Case in hand, years ago a woman sued McDonald's, when she ordered a takeaway coffee via drive-thru, placed the cup, with lid on between her legs, the lid came off whilst she was driving and scolded her leg(s).
Her arguement was that the coffee was too hot to be served.
She won!
Mind-boggling.

I fell into a comma reading this! It's YOUR fault!

No, wait...

On the coffee one she, lost on appeal.

Why doesn't she sue the moblie company who gave her the phone, as she is to dumb to use it safely?:hmmm:

I wonder what Don King would have to say about this?

After reading the link. She seems more pissed being shown all over the world as, being an idiot. :haha:

Just sheer disbelief that she can sue, even though its HER own fault. And the scary thing is that the UK is turning into a blame culture society:nope:.

Ah true? Didn't see the appeal happen, good to see there is still some sense of reality to these appeals/claims.

She does not sue for having fallen into a fountain, she sues for people having made the video, which is somehwat disgraceful for her, publicly available.

It might not be as severe like a video you shot of your girlfriend, naked, and then spreading it in public without telling her, but in principle it is the same thing.

The difference is that by the video she could not be identified at all. So while she has a moral point, I think it is not strong enough to justify a walk to the court. The damage of her being linked to that incident she did herself when climbing on the stage with the cameras and revealing her identity and saying that she wants to sue "them". Before, it was all anonymous.

I don't think she has a leg to stand on (I see what I did there) as she was in a public place with no reasonable expectation of privacy.

So nobody knew it was her, so just to get herself more publicity for those that missed it on youtube she goes on abc news! Deserves a good dunking like a witch from the middle-ages. :nope:

Sure the security guards who filmed it should get a mild telling-off but even she admits it was funny.

If she pursues any lawsuit I hope she loses, and it costs her a s-mall fortune. I have no sympathy with her, at least she wasn't driving past a school at the time.

She's more chance of getting bit in the ar$e off a cabbage than winning this......I hope :DL

I think the most priceless thing about this was on msn yesterday. In her attempt to whine over yotube's perfect right to post the footage, she revealed more than just her identity. As it turns out, she's also a criminal wanted for credit-card fraud.

So now she's world-famous for being both clumsy and a cheat. That's gotta be rough.:nope:

:har: Love it!
