It was only a four or five foot drop, but imagine walking along, aimlessly texting and paying absolutely no attention to the world at hand. Can’t imagine that? No, neither can I. How’s this – imagine walking along and suddenly dropping into a deep, smelly hole. And losing your shoe nonetheless. Would it be mental trauma? Worthy of a lawsuit? Alexa’s parents think so.

Of course, I’m not sure who they’re going to sue. How do you sue someone for your lack of attention? A violation of trust that the sidewalk would just “be there?” The workers claim they were “looking for cones” to mark the area when young Alexa fell in. More ridiculous news surrounding our inability to censor our information input/output. Much as I hope people get better at it, the dumb ones make for some hilarious news.
