Man Loses Job From Texting A Little To Much

I just don't understand this.

Leszek Wojcik who is a bus driver in Poland, was fired from his job for running up a $34,000 bill while texting on the company phone. He sent about 38,000 SMS messages, which is about 1,200 a day, trying to win a contest.

Wojcik told a local radio station that he trying to win the contest to buy a second car. A spokes man for the Slupsk city transportation agency said that "The cell phone was only supposed to have a $5 limit".

I get the feeling that this guy didn't even win the contest.

New Texting Champion

Thought you were a fast texter with your Blackberry or side kick? Well not so much!! Electronics company LG has crowned the first ever National Texting Champion.

13-Year-old Morgan Pozgar successfully and accurately typed the message, 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocios' in under 42 seconds and didn't misspell a word while doing it. Teens from around the country competed in texting competitions for the right to show off their skills in the final championship round held in New York city yesterday.

Pozgar sends an average of 4000 texts a month (yeah, you heard that right) and by the time she had been announced as the winner of the competition, she had already texted all her friends to let them know she had won, texted them again to tell them that she had won $25,000 and then texted them again to let them know that her mood was "chipper."

Some words of advise to her parents: 'Unlimited texting plan'!!!
