Accident Waiting to Happen ...,

.... no surprise it was in Staten Island. (For those not from the Manhattan metro area, just think of Staten Island as "Valley Girl East" )

Teen Girl Falls In Open Manhole While Texting - wcbstv.com

I admit to a dark sense of humor ... because she did receive minor injuries ...but oohhhhh ...
... best laugh I've had all week was seeing that headline. (It happened a while ago ... in 2009, somebody just sent me the link) .:rofl1: :rofl1:

Now that is funny!

Reminds me of 2 girls I saw last week while waiting for the light to change. Both girls were texting waiting for the WALK sign to appear. One girl slowly starts walking across the street before the sign had changed. She was to busy texting to know that sign hadn't changed. Her friend was on the sidewalk watching her but didn't say anything because she was to busy texting to notice her friend had just walked on to uncoming traffic. So the first girl stops in the middle of the street, looks around and notices the sign had never changed. So she turns around and heads back to where her friend was standing, both still texting away. Amazing!

Kristen, I cracked up reading what you saw too!! It is amazing! :rofl1:

Funny, but a real eyeroller when that girl from Staten Island blamed the DEP for leaving the cover off; she was quoted in the article:

"Because of their careless mistake I got hurt."

Ummm ... how 'bout her own not watching where the hey she was walking? :doh:
What a maroon!!

I was going to say "What, again?!" I remember hearing about that on the news when it happened.

This goes right along with a couple of 17 year old dimwits stealing money from a Girl Scout who had a table set up at a Wal-Mart selling cookies...they blamed the Girl Scout for leaving the money where anyone could get to it.

...they blamed the Girl Scout for leaving the money where anyone could get to it.

Ummm ...oookay.
By their logic we all better watch our houses!! We go out, and there they are ... right out in the open where anybody can steal them!! :yikes:

lol it is funny, but I really do think the DEP should have put cones around it or something!
