He didn't actually "walk into" the bear, that kind of sucked

You had our hopes so high, only to be let down

I'm almost sorry he looked up just in time.
If anyone had told me that people would walk in public spaced while looking at a phone I'd have laughed. Now I see morons on pedestrian crossings texting and taking their sweet time.
It takes great discipline not to press the gas.

I just had to link to it. I laugh every time I watch it.

I mean come on - if I would have fallen in a fountain while texting, okay, I'd have been embarrassed but ultimately, I'd have thought it was hilarious.

Some people don't know how to laugh at themselves.

ass over teakettle into a mall fountain because you were texting, you need to be prepared for people to laugh their damn heads off!

That she sued because they posted it on the internet just makes it even funnier to watch.

texting and nearly walking into a bear had a reason to freak. I mean that was a big bear and it's not an every day occurrence in MY neighborhood to confront a bear, but the mall fountain? How oblivious do you have to be LOL.

I'd have left a big enough pile of shit that would have slowed the bear down enough for me to make my eScape.

I can't run anymore, too old

his underwear, and probably his shoes and socks! How often do you look up and there's a damn bear touring the neighborhood.
