A woman pulls out her “texting machine” and goes tea cart over tea kettle into a 6 foot opening.
The video is tough to watc— who am I kidding? It’s hilarious. I like how she teeters for a moment.
Hey, I had sympathy for her until the family pulled the “we’re suing” card. Now the video is funny.
Why are they suing?
The mom is “legally blind” and probably couldn’t distinguish between the sidewalk and the steel doors.
BUT SHE CAN SEE TEXT ON A TINY PHONE!
I can’t see the text on a phone, and I’m not legally blind. And if the woman is that sight impaired, GET A FRIGGIN CANE!!! There are potential hazards out there everywhere. What are you, a predatory suer?
I’m surprised they’re not suing the two teens for not yelling for her to watch out. Or for not grabbing her before she fell.

I’m just glad the worker down there didn’t get crushed by that stupid cow.
It used to be “the stupid shall be punished”. Now it’s “the stupid get to punish everyone around them”.
Suing you say. That looked pretty intentional to me.
Looks like she saw it before she pulled her phone out and it was a planned trip and fall fraud!
I almost think she did it on purpose. After watching the video several times (not just for the entertainment value), I couldn’t help but notice she could EASILY stopped herself grom her slow motion oozing motion over the edge. 🤔🙄
Edit: could easily HAVE stopped herself FROM
Sorry
Slip and fall scam artist?
But yes, I always thought those early-20C subway doors were a dangerous design.
Chevy Chase couldn’t have done it better.
@ Cowgirl, it seems like now that I’m old and fat, every time I fall down it’s in slow motion! 🙂
Aaaannnnnd her excuse will be she wuz in the middle of pullin up her Stevie Wonder Walking App…
I bet this is how the Obama kids were made.
Dat hatch be RAAAAACISSSS!!!
LOL! Watched this was on national news last week. Yeah, she’s a con artist. If it wasn’t falling into a basement, it would have been cooking oil in the aisle of her local grocery.
That land whale should’ve sensed the hatch doors with her sonar.
I’ll bet the courts know her well.
Then she should sue McDonald’s for making her so darn fat. Not her fault – dindu nuffin.
“Shit! It’s Gloria Allred!”
Positively Darwinian.
Compulsive texterbation
Wait until she falls all the way down here. It’s a long, long drop. Lucifer will make her wish she could get a do-over. 👿
Bongopoofter:
Hah! Too much of that and she’ll grow hair in her armpits.
if she was chewing gum, could she sue the gum company too?
I rewatched it. Yep. Definitely intentional. Tort reform would fix this. You lose and you pay all Court costs, attorney fees, etc.
suing for profit will quickly end.
Can’t pay? Go directly to jail. Do not collect $200.
F.D.R. – Better teach her whut a Mulligan is… that don’t look like any duffer I’ve seen!
My shoe!
–oh Lawdy help me Lawd, Lawd help me–
She’s going to win – big.
That worker should have put cones and other warning devices like 10 ft away from the open pit.
Maybe had fencing around the hole.
SOP for most utility companies.
Better call Saul! Slippin’ Jimmy would be proud.
Aw dang, she’ll sue the city and there won’t be any money to send to the climate scammers.
The company should have had a bunch of chained vicious dogs guarding the hole. Next time.
If she couldn’t see those doors then she obviously cannot see curbs and steps. She should have a cane.
Her lawyer must need new tires for his Mercedes.
There are doors like that in sidewalks all over every major city in the country. It’s not like she hasn’t come up to one before in her lifetime. If the guy didn’t break any rules or standards regarding leaving those doors open then it should be “tough shit” for her.
When the end is near and the comet fills the sky, fools like this will still be running around in little circles wondering why they have no bars.
“Survival of the species is everybody’s business.”
Russians hacked those doors open.
BULLSHIT. She knew the doors were there.
Notice how ahed did NOTHING to stop herself from falling in while she teetered on the door edge.
“I’m gon git me sum o’ dare stuff”
Yep, scamming bitch that be. She been taking lessons
from the jackson and sharpton families?
I used to be the I.T. manager for a large independent supermarket. One day I was sitting in the office and happened to glance up at one of the security cameras as a woman with a long dress took a frozen turkey out of one of the freezers and put it up her dress, pinching the bird between her legs and waddling towards the front exit. But it was hot weather and her hot, sweaty thighs thawed the bird enough that it slipped out…..and bashed her foot, breaking it. Only then did she fall and start hollering she was going to sue us.
She actually got a lawyer too. But we invited him to review the security footage (complete with audio) and said if she went through with her suit we’d be filing charges against her and counter-suing as well. He told us he was going to drop his representation of her and advise her to drop the suit. Never heard a peep out of her after that.
