  • TROY7, on 01/12/2009, -5/+167Text messaging should be free!
  • jgopp, on 01/12/2009, -4/+160My cousin said she sent 33,000 texts last month, she is 14. Every time I see her she is texting, literally every 10 seconds she sends a text it is sickening.

    Girl#2: 303, i iz txt mster

    etc etc
  • whahaa, on 01/12/2009, -0/+102protip: you can reduce a two hour text conversation to ten minutes by utilizing the advanced two-way vocal communication functionality equipped on most modern phones.
  • jordantneff, on 01/12/2009, -3/+94Finally, someone else sees how asinine texting is
  • richlizard24, on 01/12/2009, -0/+90You forgot about the grunting.
  • Nistelrooy, on 01/12/2009, -6/+87What the ***** do you text about every two minutes? Doesn't Miley Cyrus get old after, say 100 texts?
  • InfernoX, on 01/12/2009, -5/+83I still don't have one and I graduate in 6 months.
  • inactive, on 01/12/2009, -0/+76Depending on your phone it makes a hell of a difference.
  • cathpah, on 01/12/2009, -0/+73In a 31-day month, assuming she's awake for 14 hours a day, that is more than one text every two minutes.

    does this girl go to school?!
  • brettotte1, on 01/12/2009, -0/+72I work at a major cellco in the US & parents call in to get them for their 4-6 yr old kids.
  • fxu1989, on 01/12/2009, -0/+68Girls don't grunt... their poop falls down like feathers.
  • Dr3w, on 01/12/2009, -0/+67Wonderful use of wide-eyed pedo

  • idiggarsenal, on 01/12/2009, -2/+64WOW!

    Believe it or not I actually know this girl. Her family lives in my neighborhood, and I am best friends with her brother. My jaw dropped after realizing who this was.

  • Staticbursts, on 01/12/2009, -7/+69she text me with her 33,000 messagers your mom ha!!!!!!!

  • DephexTwin, on 01/12/2009, -1/+61"=!" != "!="

    /sorry, code nazi
  • TugOSpiegel, on 01/12/2009, -1/+61If that.
  • TROY7, on 01/12/2009, -6/+65Best comment I've read all day.
  • monkeybones22, on 01/12/2009, -4/+62The sad thing is, all those texts could probably be summed up in 1 phone call....
  • inactive, on 01/12/2009, -0/+57leave me alone you creep
  • BoneStamp, on 01/12/2009, -4/+60@funkedup
    Yes, I have experience with this every time I go out in public. I guess you've never been there?
  • Chris_F, on 01/12/2009, -0/+56That's a text every 3 minutes on average if she never sleeps, eats or takes a piss (that or she texts while doing those things.) So, more realistically that's a text every 2 minutes or 0.5 texts/minute whenever awake and her hands are not full on average.

    Somebody take the phone and sedate this girl.
  • bs0l, on 01/12/2009, -0/+54I believe in you.
  • xptoast, on 01/12/2009, -2/+55It should make you do a math problem every time you send one. Maybe then they wouldn't send so many retarded messages.
