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.

DF's XW's name autocorrects to Grima on my phone. It's singularly appropriate! 😂

Maybe one for the Tolkien fans?

I meant to write "my apologies for any inconvenience I have caused"

I actually wrote "my apologies for any incontinence I have caused"

Mortified doesn't come close.

EbayIsKing · 13/07/2018 15:41

I once sent an email (to my boss!!) saying ‘sorry for the inconvenience which, of course, was then changed to me saying ‘sorry for the incontinence’

I remember one thread where the OP disappeared for a while and when she came back she apologised because she'd 'been busy wanking the dog". Many hilarious posts followed.

I once texted my dad asking if he wanted to “come and get my aids”. I can’t remember what I was trying to say but it was mortifying. My brother once texted me saying “you’re my viagra”...not meant for me.

My Daughters School report from 4 years ago! Still makes me Giggle now. Grin
I took it back the next day, and before I could say anything I'd had an apology as they had realised what had Happened after they were sent out! Was Given a fresh one & they took that one off me, so glad I took a photo before they did!

on work messaging so not exactly autocorrect, but wrote to the big boss (female, and not very feminine looking) ages ago: "do you have a sex" instead of "sec". Still mortified.

I was on a chat with O2 , having a problem with my phone . It autocorrected Full Bars to Full Balls, I couldn't stop laughing for several minutes Grin

On my first day of work my company car hadn't been allocated so I'd asked one of my new colleagues (who i had met previously) if he wouldn't mind 'licking me up at home at 8am'

LaDilettante · 13/07/2018 16:33

Also I'm my flatshare days I put up an ad on a flatshare site 'looking for a new flatmate'. Of course it autocorrected to 'Looking for a new playmate'! I got quite a lot of emails, mainly from guys.

KevinTheYuccaPlant · 13/07/2018 16:41

On live chat to a company about a query with my account and got sent:

'One moment please, while I check you're a cunt.'

Poor guy on the other end must have apologised about 20 times, I couldn't stop laughing.

Can't compete with Kevin but ... told a friend who was having a hard time; Whatever you do don't let thongs get on top of you.

My phone autocorrected my colleagues name to Lardy.

'Hi Lardy. What time are we going to the gym in the morning?'

She ignored me for a few days after that one. Blush

I love these so much!

I'm a Brownie leader and after we'd been away on pack holiday once for a weekend I messaged my parents "I have Jess's washbag" which autocorrected to "I have Jesus's washbasin" 😂😂😂

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/07/2018 18:31

I have Jesus's washbasin. 😂😂😂😂

anitagreen · 13/07/2018 18:32

I asked my mum what condiments she wanted me to bring. My text that sent actually read what condoms do you want me to bring
