You know you text too much when...

[muumajii23]

O.O Some kid in California sent over 14,000 text messages in one month! http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2009/01/kid-sends-14528.html

Thirteen year-old Reina Hardesty's father wasn't "LOL" when he read last month's AT&T cell phone bill. The 440-page statement listed an incredible 14,528 text messages sent in one month.

Um, that works out to be about 484 text messages a day, on average. Yes, a day.

Fortunately, the Hardesty family has a $30/month unlimited texting plan or else this AT&T bill would have been nearly $3,000.

According to a U.S.-based Nielsen study, the average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is about 1,742.

Worked it out... If the girl slept for 10 hours, it would work out to her texting 30 times every hour.

Jesus. -_-'

This pathetic or what?

I'm lucky when I get 600 texts a month.

Of course, I'm not the one that ever starts the conversations.

Still, 14,000? Doesn't she have school?

 

[S31R31]

Well SPAM isn't just for e-mail y'know.

 

[Takaru]

I don't think its pathetic XD
Her social life must be booming haha.
I text message alot. Its a great way to communicate. I've sent about 210 in the past hour and recieved about 353 today.

 

[Mandi.]

LOL.
daaaamn,
and people think I text too much. xD

Haha ..not really pathetic though.
She just has lots of friends to text. :3 Popular kid.

I love texting. It's fun.
and besides, I find talking on the phone really kinda creepy. It's like ..the people are there cause you hear them ..but they're not.

His fingers must hurt.

 

[Skiks]

Man whats with these youngin's and these manfangled machines. It's like an addiction.

 

[Jink]

I'm so damn slow at texting that I don't even bother with it at all.

 

[JoshYEAH]

I thought I texted a lot (usually around 4000 a month...) but this takes the biscuit tbh.

Isn't it newfangled? Never heard of "manfangled" before.

Oh yes, I heard this report the other day. I think there was one point where the father averaged her texts to one message every two minutes. Insanity. Kudos to the girl for having to ability to text so quickly, but that must had been some conversation to text so furiously.

 

[Sapphiredragon929]

Wow. 0.o...

I don't really text that often because, I hate this "txt tlk" What the hell did vowels ever to do kids...

But when I do I type everything out in full

 

[Shiny Venusaur]

I though I texted a lot with 1500-2000 a month... The most I've ever heard of was my friend who had 4000. but this is just crazy -_-

 

[Takaru]

Just cause a person text doesn't mean that the person will talk like a drunk person on aim. I don't use "txt tlk" I actually spell out all my words.

 

[Andywoo]

.........and the punishment is that the kid cannot text after tea/dinner.

Wow, great parenting [/sarcasm]

Good for you! One of the few who actually do... Frickin' annoys me so much.
-_-'

It's terrible when people actually start typing out "lawl"...

 

[Shiny Venusaur]

Yeah I actually use normaly words and not the crappy txt tlk when I'm texting

 

[Tadashi]

Daaaaaaang!

I never text, so this absolutely blows me away. (And the rest of you, saying "oh, I only have such and such amount of texts"... XD Wow, the art of face-to-face conversation truly is dead ._.

 

[Yogurt]

Lol I already heard this. Texting can get kinda addicting. I think I already went over for the month and it's only halfway over ._.
