On one hand, Kim (Mom) is right. The orange warning cones should have been in place before they removed the manhole cover.
But since her little Alexa was texting and not really paying attention to where she was walking, she deserves some of the blame.

no i don't want my shoe back. how could you say that? if you find my retainer though, i need that.
Now that is some hard hitting investigative reporting!
"I was walking down the street just texting and shit."
... bet she finished her text, though.
The hard-hitting question would be: "How's the phone?"
I want to know if she still had her wits about her enough to sacrifice everything for the phone. I'm betting the phone made it through unstained. In fact, if I'm defending the state on this case, that's the first question I ask.
I can't see orange cones making a bit of difference here. She's lucky it wasn't 10 minutes later and she fell in ON TOP of a state worker.
I think they double the fines for that.
"Suddenly everything was 'dark and smelly" That's what *she* said! (Ha!)
You know, my philosophy is if you are walking down the street and magically find yourself in a sewer, the universe is trying to tell you something and it's your job to figure out what.
Oh, you damn right they are gonna sue! The poor child was sorely wronged.
How could anyone expect her to pay attention to where the f**k she was walking, while she was texting? Come on......get onboard here! Poor girl, barely, escaped with her phone intact.
And, we all know it is always someone else's fault.
Effen,
A quick glance in the Second Edition Baierman's Collegiate Thesaurus shows that 'their' and 'they are' may be used interchangeably in most online social situations. No need for correction ...
It's ok, Tim.
I used my influence to have the own affair rectified.
He, who has the right friends, holds the power!
OK then, we'll go with "you" and "you're".
If they had placed the cones, maybe she would trip on them and end up face planted on the ground. Think about broken teeth and ruined face.
They'd sue the state because who in his/her right mind would place cones randomly on the sidewalks, where people walk looking elsewhere than ahead...
I loved Suddenly Dark and Smelly with Brooke Shields. See also Suddenly Salad.
If she couldn't see a giant hole in the ground, what makes her think she'd see an orange cone? And if she was WITH her friend, who was she texting? At the risk of sounding like someone's grandmother... in MY day, when we wanted to talk to our friends, we'd go to their house, or call them on that old timey invention called the "telephone." We also used a handy-dandy invention given to us by Mother Nature herself... it's called "vision." With this "vision" one can almost always safely traverse most terrain.
