I would like the floor to swallow me up.

I went to see a friend today and had a brief chat with her husband, also a friend.

We talked about a film and I sent him a text message to say that I was watching it.

My phone screen is broken at the moment and sometimes goes off on a life of its own. I runs away with itself and selects random words.

I apparently have just sent him a text which says 'I want you'

I have apologised profusely but actually can't breathe.

It doesn't sound very believable.

I'm mortified.

Grin that's GREAT

Instead of texting my ex "I want your 🐱" I hit the wrong emoji (was in my recently used) and asked for his 🍆 instead. Oops.

😂😂😂
Sorry not very helpful. But. 😂😂😂
😮😳

Don’t be mortified, everyone knows predictive text has a life of its own. Just text what you meant to say and move on!

That’s an amazing hilarious story!

I had an embarrassing situation this week, having a coil fitted and a student male GP was sitting in, speculum in and everyone having a good close up look at how it’s fitted. The pain made me jump and I let out a little fart. Right in their faces! Worst moment ever

chicken75 · 15/09/2018 21:41

Grin ooops
Hope your friend sees the funny side!

PawneeParksDept · 15/09/2018 21:41

His wife will either be Hmm or 😂 when she next sees you

rightknockered · 15/09/2018 21:43

Oh that is hilarious!

churchmouse84 · 15/09/2018 21:43

My friend is very paranoid and would NOT see the funny side.

I once stroked a random man's bum, because he had the same jacket as my boyfriend at the time, turned around and he was old enough to be my dad, with his wife and daughter with him. Luckily the wife thought it was a hoot. I could have died

PerfPower · 15/09/2018 21:45

I once texted a guy with 'shall we have children?' Instead of 'shall we have chinese?' (predictive text's fault). I wasn't wearing my reading glasses and we were discussing what to do for a second date.

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 15/09/2018 21:46

Not my embarrassment - I was on the receiving end. The text read:

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty Kisses you gently on the lips xxx"

The sender's embarrassment was compounded when I took a screen shot and posted it on FB.

SneakyGremlins · 15/09/2018 21:49

Perf Did he take you up on your offer?

PerfPower · 15/09/2018 21:49

Massively grateful that my recipient didn't post a screenshot on FB.

littlestrawby · 15/09/2018 21:50

Not me but my DH...we were walking around the 911 memorial museum of all places, I wandered away from him to look at a different section. He casually placed his hand on his new neighbours bottom (not realising I'd moved), and a good grope thinking it felt a bit different from usual. This poor lady jumped right out of her skin and only relaxed and saw the funny side (and believed it was an innocent mistake) when she saw him staggering off to me in embarrassment and me looking over at her. Of course due to where we were I had to stifle the laughs!

starryeyed19 · 15/09/2018 21:52

I sent my partner's dad a text that said something like "Are you enjoying your bath?" He'd rang me earlier from his dad's phone and I just clicked on the wrong thing. So. Embarrassing.

PerfPower · 15/09/2018 21:52

No, lovely guy and found it funny but alas no spark.

cricketmum84 · 15/09/2018 21:53

@ChesterCake me and DH are sat giggling at yours Grin

I was once having a smear test and was asked if I minded a student observing. Was like meh well I've had 2 kids so there's probably more people that have seen down there that haven't. Mid test the GP exclaimed that I had amazing pelvic floor muscles by going "wow look how she's holding that speculum in!" And the student leant over to look at how well I was holding the blasted thing in! I was mortified!!

churchmouse84 · 15/09/2018 21:55

Nope. None of these are as bad.

Walking home from work, I saw my bf walking ahead of me. I called out to him, but he didn't respond. Huh, I think, he must be woolgathering and didn't hear me.

So, when I got closer, I hit him up the bum (quite hard!) with my bag.

Yeah....it wasn't my partner. It still makes me cringe even now, nearly 20 years later.

Starlighter · 15/09/2018 22:00

Noooooo!!! Oh OP! Blush

We’ve all sent a dodgy text thanks to predictive text though, I’m sure he’ll understand!

Nanna50 · 15/09/2018 22:02

You don’t think farting in the doctors face with a speculum up your fan is far more embarrassing than sending a predictive text? Hmm

CrispbuttyNo1 · 15/09/2018 22:02

I’m sorry but this really has made me (and dp who I read it out to) chuckle ..

I’ve sent my boss more than one dodgy text by accident as he is next to DP on my phone. Luckily he (and his wife) are good friends who know what a tit I can be.

I also texted a colleague the other day to let her know we had 4 deaf guests in one of our rooms. I work in a youth hostel. She rang me in panic and I realised I had written DEAD .. 😂😆😫

MozzieMagnet · 15/09/2018 22:04

Tbh you'd better off pretending it was for someone else in your phonebook so I would send a follow-up text NOW saying OMG that wasn't for you, sorry!

littlestrawby · 15/09/2018 22:05

The farting and speculum ones definitely win so far! I wouldn't worry much about a predictive text fail Smile

thenewaveragebear1983 · 15/09/2018 22:05

Once the postlady knocked on the door and my little Ds came to answer with me, wearing his fireman Sam jumper. Post lady said ‘I love your fireman sam jumper’ and I said ‘I think he loves your postman pat jumper too’

Except I didn’t. I said ‘I think he loves your fireman sam pants’

She did an actual double take, and this face Confusedand backed away slooooowly. I wanted the ground to swallow me up- and still do every time she knocks with a parcel
