A girl falling into a fountain while texting in a shopping centre has become a YouTube hit, after the unfortunate incident was captured on CCTV.
It’s easily done. You’re walking along engrossed in your phone, completely oblivious to the world around you, when you walk into something.
You dust yourself off, try to hide your embarrassment and get on with your day.
But for one avid phone-user, the unfortunate results of a lack of due care and attention when texting were captured on CCTV – and have now been viewed by over 700,000 people on YouTube.
In the video, the girl is seen walking along texting, oblivious to the large fountain dead ahead.
She then tumbles over the side, falling face down in the water, before retrieving her phone and quickly scrambling away.
