Retard whore sends 14,528 text messages in one month[views:1973][posts:23]________________________________ [Jan 12,2009 1:25pm - zyklon ""] Greg Hardesty didn't "LOL" when he got his daughter's cellphone statement. All he could think was "OMG!" The California man's 13-year-old daughter, Reina, racked up an astonishing 14,528 text messages in one month. The online AT&T statement ran 440 pages. "First, I laughed. I thought, 'That's insane, that's impossible,' " the 45-year-old dad said. "And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible." He found it was - barely. It works out to 484 text messages a day, or one every two minutes of every waking hour. "Then I thought maybe AT&T made some mistake on the bill," said Hardesty, of Silverado Canyon. The reporter for the Orange County Register grilled his daughter on her texting habit - by text message, of course. "Who are you texting, anyway? Your entire school?" he asked. "Well, a lot of my friends have unlimited texting. I just text them pretty much all the time," she explained. She messages a core of "four obsessive texters" - all girls between the ages of 12 and 13 - on her LG phone. Reina had a karaoke birthday party, and while other people were singing, she was texting her best friend sitting right next to her. She even texted her friends to brag about the high number of text messages she had logged when her parents got the statement. Her texting soared last month because "it was winter break and I was bored," Reina told her parents. Luckily, Hardesty has a phone plan that allows unlimited texting for $30 a month. Otherwise, he estimates, he would have owed AT&T $2,905.60 at a rate of 20 cents per message. The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742, according to a Nielsen study of cellphone usage. Hardesty admits he himself punches in 900 messages a month - 700 more than average for his age group, according to Nielsen. Hardesty and his ex-wife have since placed restrictions on Reina's cellphone use, ruling she cannot text after dinner. |

If I had a state of the art cellphone, and spent that much time/money texting people my parents would have either turned me into compost or shipped me off to the military. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2009 5:06pm - joeycobra ""] i hate the people who text, heads down, the entire time they hang out with a group of friends....what is so important? Hang out with the person your texting if you enjoy talking to them so much. also....what happened to just....calling someone?? If you have that much to say.....call them. fuck this girl....her and all the other brain dead text zombies. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2009 5:16pm - dreadkill ""] i hate when i'm hanging out with someone and they text other people more than they talk to me. a text here and there is fine, but come on. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 13,2009 5:21pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] texting is good when you just need to get a certain piece of information across and you dont want to get stuck in a long conversation you dont wanna have. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2009 7:56pm - Lamp nli ""] I hate when people consistently talk on the phone while working (like the guy I've been working with the last so many months does). Once in a while is okay, but come on. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 13,2009 8:01pm - zyklon ""] I had to call my company to put a block b/c too many motherfuckers kept texting me. This geek at work texts his friends like every 10 mins, it's fucking annoying plus it makes us look bad. |
