Last Saturday in the Ann’s Entitled Life facebook group (not the page, this facebook group is the place I am much more myself and my er, real personality ummm shines through), I shared a text message I sent Hubby, and the autocorrect issue I had with that sent message:
Hubby got a deer, and he texted me a request to take a ride down to where he was hunting and pick the deer up and take it to be processed.
“No ducking way” just doesn’t have the same absolute negative response as my intended text message.
🙂
For a program that is supposed to correct improper spelling, it sure does lead to some spectacular fails.
What is the funniest text autocorrect you have seen or sent?
Stephanie K. says
Well, my grandma is just learning to text and she sent my daughter a cute one, but not exactly an auto correct. She said, “I’ll be over in a little while I’m just waiting for grandpa to p”. Brynn and I waited for a few minutes (my grandma would NEVER say someone was peeing!) and then replied with, “hahaha”. She had no clue what we thought was funny. Then she was horrified when she looked back. 🙂 She apologized profusely.
Ann says
LOL Stephanie!
I am impressed your Grandmother texts! I don’t especially care too!

I shared my most recent on the facebook post. Monkey pencils (suitable for a possible kids birthday party goodie bag) became monkey penises (not suitable for kids birthday party goodie bag). But I’ve had far too many to remember 😉

OMG Donna.. that site is hilarious.. I kept ROFL and was having problems breathing again.. Thanks for sharing it! Its great!
KimH says
There was an auto-correct post going around Facebook last week that I think was the funniest I’ve ever seen.. I was howling with laughter and had to stop reading it 3 times so that I could breath.. I was crying.. and its really a rare thing for me to laugh so hard I cry.. Most of it was not fit for public consumption..
I’ll have to check that out Donna.. sounds like fun!
Ann says
At least share the link, Kim!

I’ve read all of these on the damnyouautocorrect dot com site. Hysterical! I don’t care how many times you read them, they make you laugh all over again…as I am doing right now as I sit in the waiting room at the ‘dic’ office haha…. Which by the way, the doc to dic has happened to me as well.
Ann says
Yikes if I write doc in a text, I am going to triple-check before I hit send.

Donna, I went to the site you recommended and started reading… and laughing hysterically.. I didnt know it but my daughter was upstairs trying to take a nap before she had to go to work when I started laughing.. she told me she thought to herself, “Well she’ll stop laughing soon” and then when I kept laughing for another minute or two she wondered what on earth I was laughing at and figured it was more of the auto-corrects like the one I shared.. She asked me when she woke up & said she was up there laughing at me laughing.. Gotta love it & thanks for sharing the site!
Ann says
Those were so funny, Kim!

My husband had a pretty good one a few weeks ago. He was replying to my text while he was at work so he sent his message quickly and then put his phone down to go back to what he was doing, not really paying attention to what he sent. Well, he had intended to send “Noooo!” as his response, but his phone changed it to “Nipples!” Apparently auto correct just has a dirty mind LOL
Ann says
LOL I think you are right, Stephanie! Probably a program written by 18 year old males.

One day I was texting my ladies Bible study group that my husband had an appt with his doc to make sure he’s ok. Instead it came out, “My husband has an appt with his DIC to make sure he’s ok.” I still haven’t lived that one down.
Ann says
I’m sorry Gail, I laughed. A lot.
Ann
Gail says
True story, Ann. Glad u got a laugh out if it. BTW, I copied the message and sent it to my kids as well.
Ann says
LOL! Great that you can laugh, Gail!
