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.....

Work colleague called leisha Dear Leisha always autocorrected to dear lesbian, also dear Nits instead of Nita.

again on the non auto correct the stone competition where painted stones are found around the worksite and displayed on staff facebook then rehidden... one with a fish on gained an extra bit of artwork (a small penis drawn on) coms team clearly failed to notice as it featured in the staff bulletin in all its glory much to everyones amusement when it was noticed Grin

Howling at I’m sick of your carp’
He sent me a picture of a fish back. Grin

I once worked on some text where a sentence was meant to read 'blood was pooling on the pavement' but it said 'pooing'.

This one wi out me but never mind,

There was a year group WhatsApp for when my child left school, they were asking for photos of the class as babies for a leavers party game.
One mum who incidentally hates me anyway for no apparent reason posted a picture of her child as a baby and I thought I would be the bigger person and comment, I went to write 'Cute!' But my phone knows I'm a sweary Mary and instead changed it to 'cunt!' BlushBlush

I obviously replied quickly stating it was an autocorrect error and apologised but she didn't respond.

I asked my Brownie pack to bring old shits for cooking.

That could have been rather messy. I just wanted them to bring something to wear over uniform to keep them clean whilst we made chocolates and sweets.

To a friend who had to contact an elderly man I know, 'If his wife picks up the phone you'll have to shout as she's quite dead.'
Friend wasn't sure whether he could shout that loudly...

In the 1960s when I was a typist I had to type out the menus for the executive dining room. Instead of fried cod I typed fried coc. The idiot executive brought the menu up to the supervisor to complain.

I once offered someone a discocunt 😳

I work in dentistry, and read some fab typos in previous notes
Eg “Patient came in with cock in hand..” - coke
“Patient had plague” - plaque
“Patient is a psycho” - physio

MoonlightBringsSanity · 21/11/2018 20:13

I had a patient discharged from intensive care that was ‘elf ventilating’ which made us all snort with laughter!

AllTakenSoRubbishUsername · 21/11/2018 20:39

Hehe! I sent my husband a message yesterday when I was in a traffic jam, saying I was 'stuck behind a kitty'. Not sure why Lorry got autochanged to that!

LuluJakey1 · 21/11/2018 20:48

DH texted asking what kind of a day I'd had and I replied 'Awful, am lying on the sofa with a gun'. I meant a gin.

My mum told me she had seen a lovely cottage covered in Listeria

I make typos all the time. This morning I accidentally wrote something inappropriate in a email that was sent to my boss the head of year at the school. I work at a private school in Britain as a English teacher. It didn’t help that I had drunk a glass of wine the night before either.

masterandmargarita · 21/11/2018 22:00

We don't use the word foof

PrincessWire · 21/11/2018 22:23

Oooh I've just remembered messaging someone to say I had Jess's bag, except it autocorrected to Jesus's bag...

looselegs · 21/11/2018 22:25

I work as a childminder and take the kids to a park called Baginton.
It autocorrects as 'vaginal'
That was an interesting text that parents received....

My MIL told me she was watching clash of the TItanics!' Smile

Also I was telling my 15 year old son that he used to sleep with a dummy and a Muslin (cloth) and take them everywhere! He was so shocked. What do you mean I slept with a Muslim and carried one everywhere?

I worked for a US company and one of the new guys in my team had to send something for approval to the finance director. His secretary replied on his behalf saying “ted has not approved I’m afraid he has died”
Colleague replied “how awful, RIP ted”
There was then a flurry of condolences and we in the UK went home. (After consoling Lesley who knew ted from his trips to the UK and was bawling.
Following morning about 20 other people had chipped in with “what, wait? Pardon?” “What happened”
Finally and most hilariously ted himself replied “contrary to popular belief I am alive and well, I did not die. It was a typo (denied) thanks for your concern”
Pah ha ha my sides still hurt thinking about it 10 years later!

I'm rubbish at texting anyway. While I was walking the dog I decided to text a friend to see if she'd like to join me with her pooch.
For a quick wank
She didn't reply, not even after I explained...

fairygarden · 21/11/2018 23:10

Spell check constantly changes my name to 'Jesus'
A few emails have gone out from him

Once wrote a letter referring to Dorset Cunty Council.
Freudian.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving!! Not only have I cried laughing but I followed the link to 'snapped and farted' and not only did I cry real tears I spat coffee on the dog 🤣🤣🤣

I have IBS which made the whole thing even funnier 🙈😂

Walkingthedog46 · 22/11/2018 00:11

As a medical secretary: “ the patient was given an infection by her doctor” ( instead of injection!)

Working in the claims department of insurance company the text should have read “ the insured skidded on a wet, oily road”. Came out as insured skidded on a wet, oily toad!!!!

I was recently in touch with an old acquaintance after a long absence,and she asked me (via messaging) about a mutual friend, who I had been closer to and she hadn't seen for years. "He was in an accident wasn't he?" "Yes, he was" "But he recovered?" "He died"

There was an outpouring of oh my gods and how awful etc. before I realised my mistake. It was meant to say "He did" !
