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?

Hilarious! Thankfully I have a full keyboard so everyone just gets regular typos!
HAHAHA! Oh man, do I know how this goes-I KNOW I’ve sent some doozies, but I can’t remember them. Next time, I’m going to totally write them down xD
These are hilarious! I’ve mistyped so many times and didn’t even catch it on the proofread!

LOL how funny. My husband would say so who’s Jon the bug guy!!
LOL I know – it it too funny!
This has me belly laughing at the kitchen table at 2AM! Especially the Hi there Jon! crazy funny! this should be made into a book! thank God for the backspace button (computer keyboard OR on phone)
ME? I have a five year old phone and takes me 10 minutes to send a text…my kids dont laugh at my texts…they laugh at me trying to SEND one!
And now…my husband came home with a smart phone that listens to you and writes your text as you say it I am guessing there might be even more mishaps if you don’t double check to see what you “wrote”?
I want to see more so save them and share again please!
I certainly will! If you liked these, you have to read the site “Damn You Auto Correct”. I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Seriously – you have to check it out! LOL on your phone…I don’t text that quickly either. I think a phone that would write as I talk would be fabulous! I didn’t know such a thing excited!
LOL – “who the hell is Jon?” These really made my day – thanks for posting!
haha this is hilarious! I dislike it when my iphone autocorrects it also.
