LOL, The posts from people that miss the sarcasm are always entertaining. And then the posts
where they get mad when others point out that they missed it are extra fun.
One (or more) in every crowd.

I can't help but think if he had left his phone at home he would still be alive. Everybody, even toddlers, are so obsessed with their phone these days.

But then it seems like he should have pressed the button again to free himself. It seems like a strange thing to become that panicked over.

Do you always leave your phone at home?

I fail to see how picking up a dropped phone means he was obsessed with it. Would you expect him just to leave a it on the floor?

The accident really has nothing to do with the phone. He could jave just as easily dropped his wallet, keys, sunglasses, etc.

Anytime you drop a personal item you should just leave it and replace it due to the high death rate of bending over/leaning over when picking things up.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a mobile phone?

I just knew when I saw this thread that everyone would be judging the victim.


But almost nobody thinks they're going to die when they sit down in a movie theater.

This is the worse comment made here. Isn't the purpose of a cell phone to be able to use it when you're not at home? Think about it. Think hard. Think, think, think.

That's because it's not a dangerous endeavor. At all. The average person wouldn't see this as some risky, daredevil type of activity.


People just love to judge the victim. Did you see the Larry Nassar thread on CD where people were defending Larry Nassar and blaming the victims?
