So, let’s imagine this. You’re walking down the street, and you fall into a manhole left unattended by city workers. The city’s fault, open-and-shut, right? Well, not so fast. What if you happen to be texting when you fall? Now that changes the entire story. Well, for one thing, workers left the manhole open, her mom says, while they went to get safety cones. But the daughter was also checking out a text message on a friend’s cellphone. And when folks heard texting was involved, insults like“idiot moron”started to fly. The people who themselves text while walking shouldn’t throw stones.
