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.....

A verbal one. I was in a local supermarket and asked a young males assistant where I could find Bovril.
“Of course Madam, follow me...”
He took me across the shop and stopped in front of the Andrex.
“There you are Madam, bog roll!”
I am 74 years old. I tried to act outraged but giggled while he apologised profusely. The poor lad was mortified.

thegreylady that's hilarious!

How mischievous are you feeling? I dare you, next time you're in there ask him the same question. When he shows you a jar of bovril, look puzzled and ask him how you're meant to wipe your arse with that! He'll be looking around for hidden cameras ... Grin

Sorry if this one has already been said but I haven't read all of the posts.

Long before the days of autocorrect, an anecdote told by my university lecturer about lecture notes typed up by an admin person who had recently returned from their honeymoon. "The pen is mightier than the sword" had become "the penis mightier than the sword."

While I'm here, and entirely off-thread, I'm listening to "Middlemarch" on audio book, where honeymoons are called wedding journeys. I suppose they were in those days, for the rich at least; months abroad. Still, what lovely phrase.

Bovril = bog roll. Absolutely brilliant, thegreylady

Along similar lines, verbal rather than written, my late mother used to get rather confused with Dulux, Durex and Duralex (a French version of Pyrex), apparently she had many a hilarious conversation in her local, sells-everything hardware store!

One of my previous managers sent an email to some VERY senior people in the organisation, asking them to have a walk at the canal.

Unfortunately, she asked them to wank at the canal. The most senior person emailed back and said it was the most interesting offer he had that week. Grin

A few years back (I'll point out this was a secondhand iphone I was using...!!) I was having my annual big pre-christmas clear out. A friend text me about meeting up and asking how my clear out was going. I replied with 'Just fisting in the living room' BlushGrin

My Dad text my Mum recently while he was out shopping "Do you need any children? Only £20 for 5 kilos!"

My Mum replied "I hope you mean chicken!"

Not actually a typo, but a colleague of mine had to email a woman whose genuine name was "Ophelia Wang"

Gettingsomewhere · 01/12/2018 12:59

A colleague was reading a draft scientific report and spotted the word "clit" instead of "client". He emailed the author to suggest he change it. The guy wrote back and said "Sorry, I'm not able to make the change. I've been looking for the clit everywhere and I can't find it!"

I once sent a text to my mother telling her I was bored at work just sitting eating cock Blush she told me it didn't sound very appealing..... I was eating chocolate 🍫

My cousin received a wedding invitation yesterday including directions to the venue. Guests were instructed to turn left at the t-junction and drive over the bride. 😂

Once or twice, as an estate agent administrator; auto correct wouldn't pick up before our now grammar correct!

Off road parking for two CATS

Gas central HEARING

And yeah that went to local news adverts!

This morning I sent a text to DH: Cat MOT booked for 2:15 pm.

DH replied: Which cat? Or do you mean car?

toastfiend · 11/12/2018 12:09

I frequently mistype 'count' without the 'o'. Fortunately I've spotted it so far, but I live in fear. I very nearly sent a work email to someone the other day informing them they could 'cunt on it.'
