Chick in Australia Walked Right Off a Pier into the Water Because She Wouldn't Stop Looking at Facebook
ABC – A tourist in Australia had to be rescued by police after plunging off a pier while browsing Facebook on her phone, officials said Wednesday. The woman was walking along a bay in Melbourne on Monday night when she became distracted by her Facebook feed and plummeted off the pier into the chilly water, Victoria state police said. A witness called for help and police rushed to the woman’s aid. They found her flailing around in the water, about 20 meters (65 feet) from the pier. “She was still out in the water lying on her back in a floating position because she told us later that she couldn’t swim,” Senior Constable Dean Kelly of the state water police told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. “She still had her mobile phone in her hand and initially she apologized and said sorry.” The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment. Police said she is a foreigner, but declined to say from which country. “With Facebook, or social media in general as far as we’re concerned, if you’re anywhere near the water just pay attention,” Kelly said. “Especially if you can’t swim.”
What’s the deal with this broad? Like clearly, yea, big mistake to waltz off a pier into the ocean because you have the awareness of Case Keenum facing pressure, but why is she fucking around on Facebook? Such a rookie move. Facebook is officially for old people and pregnant people. Nothing in between. Serves you right if you are too busy on Facebook to notice you’re about to fall face first into the great barrier reef. I guess it’s a little game called natural selection, but people are too kind and decide to save them.
Let’s get our shit together, women. Is this a cry for attention? It’s awfully hard to update your Facebook status from the bottom of the ocean or after a train cuts you into a zillion pieces. If you haven’t evolved to be able to do two whole things at once, leave it to professionals and just focus on walking.
