If you have a smart phone, you have probably sent a text {or email, or Facebook update} and said to yourself “uh oh” right after you hit send. You probably even laughed hysterically, depending on who you sent said message to. I sent one of these funny texts yesterday and I was reminded of some other really dumb ones I have sent since acquiring my iPhone.
I thought how fun it would be to tell you my “oopsies” and hopefully you will share yours with me!
OOPSIE TEXT TO SON:
What I meant to say: ”Don’t forget to lock the door when you leave!”.
What he received: ”Don’t forget to lick the door when you leave!”
Yeah. I laughed so hard though, just picturing this. He was probably thoroughly confused. But being the smart guy he is, I am hoping he figured out that I do not, in fact, want him to lick our front door. Ewww.
OOPSIE TEXT TO DAUGHTER (when hubby was going to pick her up at Grandpa’s house):
What I meant to say: ”Daddy will be there in a sec”
What she received: ”Daddy will be there in a arc”
Hmmm there isn’t much water on our streets, nor do we have a boat of any type. I assume she knew what I meant. That text was a real knee-slapper alright – I doubled over with laughter while picturing my husband showing up to my dad’s house in a really big arc.
OOPSIE TEXT TO HUSBAND (the first day I got my iPhone):
What I meant to say: ”Hi Hon!”
What he received: “Hi Jon!”
What he replied: ”Who the hell is Jon??”
Ummm, my bad! Love you honey!
ANOTHER OOPSIE TEXT TO HUSBAND (just saying hello to him):
What I meant to say: ”How’s my big guy today?”
What he received: “How’s my bug guy today?”
Crap. Now he thinks I have something going on with our Clark Pest Control dude.
There are plenty other oopsie texts that I have sent, but I can’t remember them at the moment {probably just as well}.
Okay – your turn! What silly texts have you sent or received thanks to autofill?
About Jennifer-admin
*snicker* soooo many. Thank goodness I pretty much only text DH, and sometimes my Mom. But man, now I need to go look at them and chuckle some more!
LOL Too funny. I hate that stupid autofill and autocorrect. Makes me look like more of an idiot than if it just accepted whatever I typed at first.
ROFL omg that is so true!!
Omg, this brought me to happy tears, and I so needed that today! LOVE it! make this a recurring segment!
LOL I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m sure there will be plenty more stupid texts – and I will keep a recurring segment in mind!
I turned mine off. I hated the blasted auto correct thing. If I make a typo, I want it to be because of me, not my idiot phone who thinks that my acronyms are simple three letter words.
i recently sent a quick message to a friend i lost track of for about a dozen years. when i went back and saw what i had sent to her I was mortified to see, “anxious to find out who are you doing,” instead of “anxious to find out how are you doing.”
OMG that is sooooooooooooo funny! I am dying laughing!! Well no wonder you never heard back!!
I wish I could remember the exact wording, but my brother recently sent his new wife a text calling her a “ho.” He meant to say “hon” but lost the last letter. Luckily she has a great sense of humor, and we all got a good laugh!
Hahahaha oh man…that is a good one! How can you not laugh at that? LOL
LOL – this is funny. I remember mistyping 6 on a text to my hubby. I meant to say that I’d be there at 6, instead I said, “I’ll be there at sex.” Of course he loved it.
LOL I’m sure he did *wink*
I LOL’ed
Haha I love the texts to your husband! I do the same thing all the time! I didn’t know you could turn the auto correct thingy off though! Saw that in the comments! I use it a lot though. Sometimes I mess up but it knows what I mean! lol
LOL yep you can turn it off, but it really is helpful sometimes (frowny face lol). Besides, it cracks me up too much!
Too funny! Luckily, I don’t have auto-correct. Instead, I just manage to send my texts to the wrong people at least once a week.
