Best ever typos/mistakes

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Just a bit of fun… I was reminded of a famous one from our local Facebook group today. A woman had posted about how she was having a terrible problem with slugs coming into her house, and did anyone have any tips on getting rid of them. Unfortunately she’d accidentally typed ‘slags’ instead of slugs Cue much laughter at how she’d tried putting salt down, but it still didn’t help 😆

Another favourite is from a forum I used to use years ago. One poster got into an argument with another and told her she was acting like a prima donna. What made this a slightly less cutting insult was the fact that she’d written it as ‘pre-Madonna’. Perhaps she was accusing her of behaving like Debbie Harry

When the film Thelma and Louise came out, the cinema ad in the local paper missed the 'i' out of Louise, so the film has always been Thelma and Louse to us

This thread has made my day!

I recently messaged dh to tell him I'd been watching a bull frog on the feeder. He was very confused about that one until he realised I meant bull finch!

On holiday in Newquay, My son’s girlfriend told someone very enthusiastically how much she liked waterboarding. She meant bodyboarding...

Years ago a colleague meant to email some called Nazia, known as Naz. Copied me in on an email that began "Dear Nazi". Auto correct, presumably.

I received a text reply from my son, which said ‘they are bit tight and uncomfortable’

It took me a minute to realise I had asked him ‘how are thongs instead of things’

Mate of mine once sent me a text 'we'll post the kids'
Took me ages to work out she meant 'we'll sort the kids'

My brother once tried to quote Wayne’s world but it autocorrected Garth to Gareth. We’ve been saying “Party on Gareth,” Alan partridge style, ever since.

An ex colleague had eyesight problems so used dragon software so he basically dictated his notes (we worked in the same community mental health team. ) Unfortunately he also had a speech defect and a strong Northern Ireland accent, meaning Dragon typed the wrong word. The funniest was when he wrote 'the patient would like to eat more people.'

Oh and I sent my sister a text to say I'd seen her friend in Crouch End but this was autocorrected to Crotch End. It's been Crotch End in our house since.

One I saw on DYAC which still makes me laugh to this day.

Along the lines of

Mum, can I go into town after school today?

No you cunt

Wow mom, harsh.

No you CAN’T!!! Omg

Years ago, in the local paper, someone selling tickets to a Bob Jovi concert. Would make a fab folk-rock fusion tribute act.

This is often referred to as the worst printing disaster in history. It's genuine hilarious imo:

*genuinely

On a local Facebook group during a heated exchange about a local crime that affected a load of people, the perpetrators friend asked people to call off the lunch mob. 🥪

Manager once ended an email with please do hesitate to contact me.

Instead if do not hesitate.

I had just had a new phone and was a step up from my old brick so had autocorrect for the first time. was on my way to a bbq so sent a message to my friend:
"Just pooing in tescos now. Any perverts for dessert?"
(Should have been "popping" and "requests")

I once saw an advert for a job vacancy that required someone with 'accruate typing skills'!

I once received a CV in application for a waitressing job from a lady who was very proud of her "Foof hygiene certificate".

Oh, that's my winner of this thread so far!!

A few years ago now, a supermarket chain in Ireland used to text offers to customers who had signed up to their points scheme. Received a lovely text from them one bank holiday weekend re their special offer on bastard turkeys, this was followed a few hours later by a text apologising for the autocorrect error.

Years ago I sent a client a letter, final paragraph should have read, ‘Please do not hesitate to contact me’. I wrote, ‘Please do not contact me’.

Letter went out. Next day he came marching into the office red faced and very angry about the letter. When I had realised what I had done I explained and apologised but I did find it funny. He did not, cancelled his business with us!! 😬😂

The auditors were in and chasing me for some details around data usage in a department I no longer worked in.

Forwarded the message on to my old boss.

Intended to say
"Please can you see if someone in the team can handle these counts?"

Forgot the all important O

I regularly used to type letters to Cunty Courts all over the country. And to various Onions instead of unions.

I laughed far more than I should have at that!

Colleague sent email out telling the whole office that there were dognuts on his desk.

A friend got a text hoping they soiled themselves on their birthday...go hard or go home

I worked in an office who ran a first aid course, and I was gathering the evaluation forms. One form had under the Best Part of the Course section 'bondage and resurrection'. Keen to find out what it was meant to say, I made an excuse as to why I couldn't read it and asked the person who wrote it. It was meant to be bandages and resuscitation!
