A twang twang twang twang…

*I keep sayin’ I got somethin’ for you,
somethin’ I call love but it’s all text.
I been textin where I shouldn’t be textin
And now someone else is gettin’ all your best.

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 keep textin’ when I ought to be speakin’
And I keep dialin’ when I got no bars.
I keep iphone when I oughta go android
I talk hands on and text while drivin’ cars,

This phone is made for textin’
And that’s just how I roll
One of these days my phone and me will drive in to a pole. .

Thanks for reminding me of that DEA-hole. Can’t guess how many times I watched THAT vid!

@Projammer

My comparison was that in both instances, the subjects brought suit because their idiocy had been widely publicized subjecting them to ridicule. I don’t believe in either case that any law was broken. Policy may have been violated concerning the mall video, but that doesn’t carry any weight beyond the disciplinary action reported.

I see. I think I was confused more by the way the judge’s ruling referred to a “protected system” and assumed it was like here, where there is a legislated requirement to protect the data if collecting personal information is part of your routine operations (where video footage is included as “collecting”). I thought if the laws were the similar, then the mall has a duty to safeguard footage, whereas in the cop’s case, the footage belonged to a private individual.

Ignorance fought.

She told the Reading Eagle, "I don’t think security was professional because they didn’t send anyone to check on me until 20 minutes later and I had already left.

Look, it’s not their fault it took them 20 minutes to stop laughing at the video.

Actually, she already had a lawyer, having been charged with stealing her coworker’s credit cards and running them up to the tune of $5,000, and for a hit and run. So, long history of 'tardiness on this woman’s part.

Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah. Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it?

@Cat_Whisperer

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?”

It’s times like this I wish I could use the Force.

[In Yoda’s voice]The fuck out of the way, you must get. Your ass you will move, now. This mall has nothing you want. Leave now.[/IYV]

Oh, please. The last fountain I stumbled into was electrified and equipped with whirling blades and sharks, and I didn’t cry!

You were lucky. When I was a lad, we dreamed of having a fountain like that!

[Leaffan]

I don’t buy it. This is done in purpose.

@Cat_Whisperer

This is exactly the kind of things people say, and then the tech opens up the case and sees all the water still inside. I suspect that stupid people assume that no one else is brighter than they are.

Duh. You microwave it first to get rid of the water.

[Cat_Whisperer]

“This cellphone looks like it was dropped in a water fountain, then fried in a microwave!”
