Thanks, Auto-Correct!

It happens to all of us, but sometimes it can go off in a crazy direction. For example, I was making a comment about a University of Alabama football game, and auto correct changed my "Way to go Bama" to "Way to go Obama". Thanks auto-correct!

How about the time I'm texting with my husband who was out of state while I was trying to FaceTime during one of my son's lacrosse games, and I mistakenly typed "Gimme asec". Good ol' faithful auto-correct changed it to "Gimme sex"! I think my husband probably fell out of his chair at work when he read that text message! LOL!

What are your best auto-correct blunders?

    I sent a text out reminding people of a POT meeting. Imagine everyone's disappointment when they discovered it was a PTO meeting.

    A student texted me asking how she was doing in class. I meant to type "your last essay was spectacular." Auto-correct, that pervert, fixed it to "your last essay was a t !t-wagger."

    I have a number of auto-correct fails.

    Awesome! I can finally stop relying on MFP forums to serve up autocorrect fails.

    Well done, PS. Well. Done.

    :drinker:


    Now, for your next trick, invent some kind of electronic interface that will allow people to search for easy answers to commonly-asked questions about a wide range of topics (and yes, even about basic fitness/nutrition questions). Maybe call it Goggles or Oogles or something like that. I'll let you work out the details, but there's my general idea.

    I was a subscriber to eharmony. The way it works is you cannot send the person a message until they reply, at least for the first few stages of communication anyway. Well i was going back and forth with this girl and she had sent me a question. we were on the short answer stage. She asked what i like to do most nights after work. I live in Chicago and love baseball. I am a huge White Sox fan. I was replying on my phone while riding the train to work. I replied that i like to watch Sox games. I hit send on my phone, which you know cannot be undone. As i saw it send, it autocorrected my reply to i like to watch sex games. I never heard back from her again. It is a shame too, because if i could have explained, she probably would have thought it was funny. Oh well. Guess i am destined to be single.

    Is it okay if I laugh while I tell you how sorry I am? :wink:

    My boyfriend was collecting me at the airport and I texted him 'no rush, I have a checked bag' , which Autocorrect helpfully interpreted as 'no push, I have a Chechen vag'. Awesome.

    I had the same thing happen with the Gimme a sec...it autocorrected to Gimmie sex!! Good thing it happened with a friend and not a business client!!

    Mine have mostly been typos though. I invited someone over for a "beet" (beer) and last week I locked my keys in the "cat" (car)

    I use Swype on my phone and it keeps thinking that the word chocolate should really be cocksure. After a few interesting texts I've made it a point to always double check when discussing chocolate on my phone. LOL

    Ah auto-correct! Once my friend was texting directions to her house using the subway and tried to say "ride the last car". Well, auto-correct assumed my friend really meant "ride the lady car". Also, when responding to a text that made me laugh I tried writing "haha" and ended up sending the word "bags" instead :huh:

    "As i saw it send, it autocorrected my reply to i like to watch sex games. I never heard back from her again."

    I think that is her loss, but that's is really funny. I would have responded to you. :smile:

    My friend was telling me something slightly unfortunate that happened to her. So, like any good friend, I laughed at her. 'Hahaha' turned into 'Banana'. Thanks, autocorrect. You're a real derp.
