Vapid social networking site Twitter claimed the life of another hapless victim with more finality than usual recently when the girl in question accidentally electrocuted herself whilst trying to keep up with her tweets.
The 17-year-old girl in question, a resident of Romania, was using the web-based social networking application in the bath; it seems her Twittering session extended for such a long period of time that the battery of her laptop died.
Rather than interrupt either her bathing or her Twittering, she instead attempted to plug in her laptop to the adapter, but unfortunately did so with wet hands.
It seems it was either the shock from the mains or from subsequently dropping her laptop into the bath which killed her, for she was found by her parents lying lifeless with her laptop by her side.
Via the Austrian Times.
We do not hear what her last Tweet was…
downright stupid…. why do women always have to use such stupid sites like twitter to keep up their social contacts? Women,men will never understand them because women never grow up and still behave like kids, doing such brainless acts like using electric devices in the bath <_<
Seriously, is there a limit for stupidity?
Those who lives with laptop, will die with laptop… Idiocy prevails…
I’m amazed that no one has simply suggested a waterproof computer built into the shower/bath. Sort of like those fridges with TV’s built into them.
Poor girl. She may have survived in a futuristic setting.
Proud to say that I’m not registered to any social networking sites. ^_^
That’s the same of being proud of not having a cellphone, like some old people do.
