The guard cost himself his job. He proved he can’t be trusted in that kind of position.
Agreed. She’s an idiot but the guard deserved to be fired. She didn’t make him do anything.
I do a lot of walking in malls, and I think the proper solution for texting and walking is a cattle prod - move it along, Bossy! People trying to walk here!
I would call her a tard, but that’s insulting to tards, to compare them to a self-important, clueless, the-world-owes-me-something wonder like this.
ETA: That reminds me, what do you guys think of calling someone who is blocking other people by shuffling along and texting a “Text Block?”
The tape wasn’t so clear that people could identify her, so the only humiliation she has suffered was self-imposed when she agreed to be interviewed. Oh, and now the world nows she’s an identity thief. Guess that’s the guard’s fault, too.
I don’t know the exact number, but I’m pretty sure it’s a big number.
Well, everyone who’s heard her asinine story.

That many.
As he should have been. Publicly broadcasting security camera footage without permission? Yep, that will get you fired. I have no sympathy at all for the silly twat who fell in the fountain, but the security guard probably violated the terms of his employment and I can’t imagine that his employers had much of an option other than to fire him.
This reminds me, whatever happened to the girl who walked into an open manhole and her parents sued the city? I’m honestly curious how that one turned out because A) She was being retarded and situationally-blind while walking down the street, and B) Because the city workers in that case evidently did neglect to put out warning cones when they opened the manhole. One assumes she may have still walked into the hole, but still.
This case? Nobody here has said it, but I’m suspicious. The paranoid in me wonders if she didn’t convince the guard to release the video so she could sue the mall and give him a cut. I’d say it’s worth investigating. Might be nothing, the guard could just independently be a douche, but it might be that she didn’t accidentally walk into anything too. I mean, her character, especially in regards to the mall, is already pretty danged suspect.
Hahahahahaha
I love the internet.
Yes! My fervent prayer (and yours too, probably) is that it’ll catch on!
… “& Waterpark”
Nice touch. 
Subject change-
How about this Houston lawyer who sued the city, the airport and a restaurant after he forgot his coat at the restaurant and it ‘disappeared’:
Edited- I see this is a kind of old story now. I wonder how it worked out?
And she comes back to the mall where she was burned as a possible credit card thief to fall in the big fountain in the middle?
I wrote this last sentence and it doesnt make any sense.
We were in the mall today, and there were a surprising amount of people walking along text-blocking. (No water fountains, though, unfortunately.)
I hadn’t even noticed that - it is a nice touch.
I came in to say pretty much exactly this. The world was laughing at an anonymous idiot until she chose to ID herself, and I for one am thankful I now have a specific idiot to laugh at.
*“I’m a mall walkin’ textin’ moron…”
*Isn’t there a song about that?
*This phone is made for textin’
And that’s just how I roll
One of these days my phone and me will walk in to a hole. … *
I guffawed.
