Don't they teach youngsters the basics of electricity today? Like NOT using it in the bathtub?

Texas teen electrocuted after cell phone incident in bathtub


I wonder how long before the family sues the manufacturer for negligence or some such rot?

Probably wasn't thinking about that at all. When you start using phones as such a young age, picking up a phone the instant a notification occurs (or to just check the time despite the fact there's a clock in the room) becomes almost like a reflex, done without thinking. Not only that, but the desire to see is strong enough that even if thought is given, it's almost like if you were asking a junkie to wait a few more minutes before shooting up.

I am not surprised she didn't know how electricity works. She was probably to busy trying to learn all the SJW Approved lessons her school is cramming in between her ears, like how racist her country is and that she is a horrible person because she is white and thus responsible for all the problems in the world.

Let me get this straight, you're accusing schools of falsely calling the country racist while bringing race into the conversation where it is irrelevant? Am I the only one here who sees this as...Irony? Hypocrisy?

And i do remember several stories of people electrocuting themselves in the 50s and 60s in the UK cause of dropping the rotary phones in the tub while they were in it..

So much for Fly's story. Apparently this stuff is common across generations *Takes toaster out of bathroom*

Apparently you need a license to run a lemonade stand

John Stossel has shown me this a long time ago.

If you outlaw lemonade, only the outlaws will drink lemonade.

Life should bet sent to jail for possession with intent to distribute.

Doing things without thinking is an effective way to earn a Darwin award.

Annoyed is a pro at it

Aside from the fact that I'm still alive, that is.

Plenty spend their lives and do incredibly idiotic things

Statistically speaking, it's bound to happen. You're one in a billion

Sooner than later probably

It's already later for me.

It wouldn't be the first time we were right in accusing Annoyed of senelity

Someone at work accidentally sent an email out to a large usergroup and seven people REPLIED ALL... multiple times.

At my job, when I cancel a customer's reservation, I send them an email informing them that it's been cancelled, and put the agent who made the reservation into CC: so that he would know he lost the commission from that reservation. One time, the agent REPLIED ALL with "Good riddance to bad rubbish"... Took a while to mop up that mess.

Another favorite of mine is when an email is sent from one address with an out-of-office notification active to another with an out-of-office notification active. They can exchange a few hundred automated messages before our tech support catches up.

No risk of life & limb, but oh, the embarrassment.
