The Week contest - Lake texts

A woman fell off a pier into Lake Michigan while texting and had to be rescued by a passerby and the police. What might she have been texting just as she stepped off?

The Lake Michigan view is a good one, so pay attention to it, instead of your phone, when taking a long walk down a short pier.
