I'm admin on an FB forum for PTAs. Someone has just commented on a thread about Santa's Grottos, apparently they're going to decorate theirs with "snowflake netting across the windows, a blow up father christmas and tree on the outside, oh and not forgetting the snow top foof"

I laughed so hard. What's the best typo you've ever seen/done? I did confuse lick and kick once in a dirty text...... could have been a bit ouchy.....

I think I’d quite like a snow topped foof. I wonder if I can create the effect with some fake snow?

Classic Grin

I was goimg on a first date recently. We had decided on a coffee and dog walk.
There is a cafe next to the canal. He asked whats the plan? I responded ' Pear Tree Hall and anal?' Hmm

Maybe some talcum powder would do it?

Our school sent a text saying "don't forget the willies"

I got an email once about a clinic nearby that now had more appointments "however, they will shit early on Wednesday"

Loyaultemelie · 20/11/2018 15:55

Well I suppose Wednesday is as good a day as any for an early shit. Not so much a typo as an unfortunate font but a workman with a van parked near my dds school had the surname Clint in gold rimmed writing, from a distance it looked like it said B Cunt repairs. The older kids and parents did snigger

On HIGFNY a few weeks ago, the amusing typo was from a pub advertising "good foof". Grin

JustMarriedAndLovingIt · 20/11/2018 15:57

Someone on here wrote about being annoyed that their neighbour had been cutting their ‘Holy Bush’ I sniggered at that, as did a lot of others I think 😂

Ages ago, I wrote an email to a colleague who was on maternity leave about who'd received what in the workplace Secret Santa, and sudoku book was autocorrected to sodomy book.

Fridaydreamer · 20/11/2018 16:06

My colleagues email constantly tries to autocorrect his sign off to “Kind Retards”

He’s worried sick one day he’ll miss it before he presses send.

On a side note my phone just changed sick to suck above but I caught it in time Grin

LucieMorningstar · 20/11/2018 16:08

This to friend (names changed obv!):

“Hi Lorraine, sorry but I kissed Dave earlier so that’s not much help!”.

Lorraine replied:

“Oh really? Was he any good?!”.

I had no clue till I re-read! Then grovelled for her forgiveness at my typo!

Lorraine is married to Dave. Lorraine is my best friend! She thought it was hilarious. I’ve not seen Dave in a while and I shall run away when I’m next due to see him incase he thinks he’s gonna get his face snogged off 😂😂😂

Someone at work had a document to send to me and they messaged to say they would "poop in the internal mail"

Jappydooda · 20/11/2018 16:11

Years ago I worked for a bottled gas company.

I had to do a memo out to staff to remind them not to taken half empty cylinders home. Had a bit of a finger mix up and wrote:

"fart filled cylinders" instead of "part filled cylinders"

Luckily the boss spotted it before it went out - after showing the whole department!!!

My favourite has to be my colleague who once asked the IT team in a passive aggressive email to 'empty their bowels before using the dishwasher'!

I've done loads but the ones that made me laugh for ages was one when I told partner to use microphone (which he never had before, or since!) for his text to friend and ask him how Helen was - he didn't realise until it had gone that it had put "How's Hitler" ... made worse because friend is Jewish Confused

Once I had ordered a toy for another friend's son and text her that the fidget pubes had arrived

I told a client I was running late to meet that I’d love a cock instead of a coke. Thank god he found it hilarious.

I sent an email to several (very senior) members of our local county council. I was also REALLY pissed off with them all, but trying to be nice (through a barely suppressed snarl).

I started the email

Dear County

except, I missed out the o....

Very, very, very fortunately, I did spot that one before I hit send, so it probably doesn't count. But I do run cold whenever I remember what I nearly did.

YorkshirePuddingsGreatestFan · 20/11/2018 16:26

I was meeting up with my adult son at the weekend. When I got there, I texted "just parked and walking through town now."

He texted back "I wouldn't do that, you'll probably get arrested!"

I was puzzled until I realised I'd sent him "just parked and wanking through town now." Blush

Showing my age now but many years ago I worked in a local college in the IT department. On the first day they had a quick test to see who knew anything about computers. The answer to one question was floppy disc but the answer I got from a mature was floppy dick.
