Here’s a tip for those of you looking to avoid repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome: don’t send 100 texts per day, you crazy bastards.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what 16-year-old Annie Levitz from Mundelein, IL did. And now she requires cortisone injections and is going to need surgery. Yes, she needs surgery because she texted too damn much.

Her solution? Well, now she wants an iPhone because “it’s touch it won’t be as rough on my hands.” Annie, a smarter move would be to just not send so many text messages. But hey, I’m no doctor. Crazy teenagers. [ABC News via CNET via TUAW]
