Mine corrected were old to werewolf yesterday. I think there must have been also a spelling mistake... because when I write it now it does not correct it.

I even fucked up typing that post lol, new phone, hate it, feel like putting it on the ground and riverdancing all over it

Even better, someone on the same thread had a tiled cervix! Very fancy!
Hmm sounds painful and possibly a little heavy?

Gardengirl33 · 13/07/2018 13:35

These are making me chuckle! I once emailed from my new work phone and it autocorrected to say "I'm just in childbirth" instead of the village I was in!! They were most surprised (but thankfully figured it out)

I was complaining about people putting bread in the fridge and angrily texted my friend demanding to know who kept putting Brenda in the fudge. Grin

I am laughing so hard at electric Ian😂😂😂
In days before touch screen phones, I used to sell ceramics on Etsy and one day texted my husband to tell him "I have sold five slaves!" Plates, that isBlush

AlliKaneErikson · 13/07/2018 13:41

I remember texting my friend- who is also a Vicar’s wife- if I could borrow her pornBlush. I can’t actually remember what it was meant to say but I was pretty embarrassed (she thought it was hilarious!).

Not mine but an ex colleague was apologising to an important client for the inconvenience caused and typed 'incontinence'. The group email was copied so we all saw it. His first language wasn't English but he saw the funny side when we pointed out that he basically apologised to the client for causing him to piss himself 😂

KikiMadeMeDoIt · 13/07/2018 13:44

Apologising to my niece that I hadn't done something that I was supposed to have got all sorted. "I'm a useless aunt." Just, just managed to stop that one going through.

I had an awful one where I was trying to console a mate via WhatsApp who’d come home in the early hours of the morning to find his door nearly kicked through.

Instead of telling him “you need to rest, get to bed”, I typed too quick and it came out as “get robbed” Grin

LaDilettante · 13/07/2018 13:53

I texted a friend to tell him I’d call him when I get home because my battery was dying. It autocorrected battery to pony. I was a bit perplexed when I received a text back after charging my phone saying ‘Hope your pony is going to make it. Wishing you all the best.’

PickettBowtruckles · 13/07/2018 13:58

Duck to dick! Pregnant and had been off my food, test my best friend in excitement that I’d eaten a whole dinner and actually enjoyed it and how pleased I was DH had surprised me with a big plate of ‘dick’ for dinner! Thankfully my friend thought it was equally hilarious 😂

doris9034 · 13/07/2018 14:03

This thread has properly made my day - literally crying at some of these!GrinGrin

PickettBowtruckles · 13/07/2018 14:04

@ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen I’ve had that too! Text my mum about the mothercare sale and how I’d got a right bargain and had 20 Muslims arriving in the morning! She just sent back a confused emoji and I clarified I meant muslins 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sexykitten2005 · 13/07/2018 14:05

I asked my mum to buy drugs instead of fruit...

SocksRock · 13/07/2018 14:13

I did a civil engineering degree, and my dissertation was in geotechnical.

The first draft went to my supervisor with every incidence of "borehole" changed to "brothel"

IllHaveALargeGlassOfRed · 13/07/2018 14:26

Brenda in the fudge - 😂😂

bridgetosomewhere · 13/07/2018 14:31

Nurse to burden. A friend of mine was saying she felt her life was going nowhere and I replied intending to say you have a degree and you’re a nurse but instead made her feel worse by calling her a burden! Oops

rebelrosie12 · 13/07/2018 14:32

I shed a little twat yesterday!

FloydWasACat · 13/07/2018 14:39

My DH (then DB) once asked me to to "meet him at Wickes for sex" instead of 'six'. After I questioned him he replied "I meant 'six'. My brian must be frozen".
At this point I was in tears of laughter streaming down my face on the train home from work. Then I received:
"Brain not Brian! What is wrong with me today? Cxxx"
At this point the giggles took control and I could not stop laughing like a loon. Embarrassing but bloody funny.

He has also sent me a text before:

"Okey-dinky"

"DONKEY"

"Dokey"

"Ffs"

He does make me chuckle

PurpleChai · 13/07/2018 14:42

The other week I sent my DH a photo of asking his opinion of how I looked (was ready for an Important meeting) and he replied saying I looked brutal, autocorrected from beautiful. I haven’t let him live it down Grin

NewGrandad · 13/07/2018 14:43

My workmate Angus frequently gets emails starting "Dear Anus,"

LoisEinhorn · 13/07/2018 14:47

My daughter is Evie but it auto corrected to Evil.
If you knew her you'd not be surprised Grin

LaDilettante · 13/07/2018 14:55

@NewGrandad. My first name often gets autocorrected to Vagina. Is your workmate single? We would be such a perfect couple Grin

MayFayner · 13/07/2018 15:04

😂😂 I’m crying at Electric Ian. He sounds a right laugh whoever he is.

NewGrandad · 13/07/2018 15:26

@LaDilettante Sadly (for his wife Wink ) he's married.
