The woman who accidentally fell into a shopping mall fountain while texting on her mobile phone has spoken about the incident for the first time - and says she is suing.
CCTV footage of Cathy Marrero failing to notice that she was walking straight into a pool of water became a YouTube hit after being watched by 1.5million people.

But the 49-year-old, revealing her identity for the first time, says she doesn't find the video very funny and plans to take the mall in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania to court after accusing staff of laughing instead of helping her out of the water.

I hope she sues, loses and is stuck with the attorney's fees. Maybe the mall can counter sue for her use of her stupidity on their property.

Dumb***. With people becoming more and more glued to their iphones and hence, more oblivious to their surroundings, more incidents like this will occur. I've encountered countless morons walking into the middle of moving traffic downtown, texting away. Then they glare at the drivers who slam on their brakes as if it's their fault.

Really hope she doesn't win.

If anything the mall should sue her for the cost associated with mopping up the water she tracked through the hallway due to her negligence.

.....and other controversies....

The way people run screaming from personal responsibility and jump at the chance to make money from their own stupidity is a bit of a problem....
