The teen was dumb. You don't walk without looking where you're going (you don't drive without looking where you're going).

Lesson learned on the part of the teen. Maybe the workers will be taught to keep one person on the lookout for idiots while the rest get the cones. The end.

Yeah, and then the lookout worker who yelled at her to watch where she was going would probably have been sued for "harassment."

So, we're back to the teen just being dumb. LOL.

I wonder, what if the teen was looking forward and not texting, but still didn't notice? Would that make a legal difference beyond being clumsy and not observant?
