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.

Must be a very big magpie! 😂

Not autocorrect but a typo, I once typed and printed a load of property particulars accusing one poor vendor of having a shite bathroom suite.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 19/07/2018 14:37

Was it?

I was having a furious text argument with DP and sent a huge essay to him and it changed 'you hadn't' to 'you haddock' both laughed about it for ages, always call him a haddock now when I'm annoyed with him

I've just nearly sent one to DD2

She has medication to collect, and I thought I'd typed "Don't forget to go down for your prescription"

But my text said "Don't forget to go down for your penis"

Caught it just in time! Grin

I texted my daughter this evening to tell her the Dartford Crossing was temporarily closed while they escorted a wide loaf through...

I text the work group chat only yesterday asking them if anyone fancies going out for cunt on Saturday.

Was meant to be curry but my phone knows me so well that if I type cu it just figures out the rest.

Menarefrommarsitwouldseem · 19/07/2018 23:48

Oh and my phone changes curling wand to curling wank.
Every. Single.Time.

I found that out texting my mum. " did dsis leave the curling wank at yours?"

My phone has recently decided to autocorrect ha to "I am a bellend". I shit you not. No idea where is came from but since I say ha a lot (as in ha ha) it's been annoying. I've had to delete and change it 3 times in this post alone. I should really sort it out.

Butterfly1066 · 20/07/2018 01:52

I saw one on Facebook which changed kick the cat out to lick the cat out 😂

Don't feel in a very jolly mood, but mine changed enjoyed the duck to enjoyed the fuck.

My mum is a florist, and apparently people ordering ‘bottomholes’ instead of ‘buttonholes’ for weddings is surprisingly common...

FlaviaAlbia · 14/08/2018 20:55

I'm half convinced my autocorrect and Google dictation is determined to break me and DH up. It has informed him that "I'm going to bed with Jim" and turns perfectly ordinary sentences into insults.

Then I ask it to text someone else and it understands that one perfectly Hmm

I was texting my landloard about something, he said he would come and sort it right away... I replied and was meant to write ‘no pleasing me eh?’ And I sent ‘no pleasuring me eh?’ instead! He came to the house immediately to sort whatever it was (can’t remember now) and I could not stop laughing! 😂🤣

Kidney regards...

Cleanermaidcook · 14/08/2018 21:35

My phone actually changed the words "auto corect" to "auto cucumber " on here once. I always call it autocucumber now 😂

CatherineCawood · 14/08/2018 21:38

DH texted me that he was delayed because he was stuck at "Black Eric's". Turned out he meant Blackfriars!!

LagunaBubbles · 14/08/2018 21:39

My husband texted me to "pop into Morrisons on the way home from work and pick up a hostage"... Autocorrected from hosts (the plant)!

LagunaBubbles · 14/08/2018 21:39

Hosts even!!!

LagunaBubbles · 14/08/2018 21:40

Hosta!!
Ironic it's autocorrecting on a thread about autocorrects! Grin

GrumpySausage · 14/08/2018 21:46

Sent a text message to a vague acquaintance who was doing a collection for a club we both attend. Said I'd pop round later that day to drop the collection off and if she wasn't in I'd pop it through her letterbox.

Of course pop changed to poop. I have so far resisted in pooing through her letterbox.

Pinkyponkcustard · 14/08/2018 21:48

Not me but a notoriously arsey manager at work bashed out an absolute shittergram on her blackberry, sent it to all and sundry and finished it with “sorry for the incontinence”

Whatififall · 14/08/2018 21:57

Not an auto correct but a mistype.

Processing licence applications for bars in a previous job, came across an application for a Pubic Entertainment Licence rather than a Public Grin

Was about to meet a friend for a walk. She messaged "I think it's due to rain". I replied "ok, I'll get my vagina out". CAGOUL not vagina Blush
