To ask for your funny typos

So in my tired and lack of sleep addled insomnia brain I decided to write my boyf a message for when he woke up, boasting about how productive I've been

Writing it out in my head

Hey/dear bf your clever girl (lighthearted sarcasm) has done x and x already, I've been so reproductive today!

Good job I thought of what I was doing before I sent it!

Anyone else make some memorable or even just passable funny typos recently?

I once worked in Local Authority Personnel Dept as a copy typist. Yes...I'm that old...back in the days before PC's when minions did the typing!! One of the guys had really spidery writing and I read it wrong. I was supposed to address a memo to All Chief Officers and Team Leaders. I typed it to All Chief Officers and Team Ladies Blush. In my dolly daydream state it hasn't crossed my mind that maybe the tea ladies didn't need yo know about the latest changes to the Council's application forms or whatever it was. It caused lots of tottering in the office!!

Team Ladies should read Tea Ladies!! Bloomin auto correct Angry

Fudgecakes · 12/01/2019 11:07

Tottering = tittering!! Crikey...typos! I don't like typing as you can tell...I quit as soon as I could!!

Kittycuddles · 12/01/2019 11:07

Haha! The old fashioned and then new fashioned daydream and autocorrect strike! Again!

I imagined/pictured tottering as ladies laughing so hard in spiny heels and polka dot fifties dresses, laughing so hard as they walk around the office, that everywhere tottering all over the place, as in like wobbling away in their lottery heels, tottering whilst tottering

Writing a press release for a client: spellcheck didn't pick up the difference between hard-won and hard-on.

My client was in the timber industry. Cue many many wood jokes Blush

Architects office, project finishing, so completing the snag list - long running order of minor jobs outstanding ie. remove paint splash from bath, grout bump around light switch etc. Checked it all so it could be handed out at a big meeting. Checked it all bar the title - in capitals, and bold and a size 14 font SLAG LIST

Fudgecakes · 12/01/2019 11:16

50s!! Bless you....I'm not quite that old Grin....think late 80s....more shoulder pads and spiral perms than polka dots and Bobby pubs!! Did have the heels though so yes lots of tottering....something to do with boozy pub lunches too...I digress. ..word processors were the new kids on the block but we still bashed stuff out on manuals.

Kittycuddles · 12/01/2019 11:16

Omg, hard on and wood factory- splintering off in to sooo many wood puns ;)

Must have been hard for you

Did you ever branch out in to the puns and jokes yourself?

Sorry done now

Did the press get ... released?

Sorry my jokes must be getting a bit wooden now

Okai, okai, I'm just hiding myself AND my puns under a veneer now.

O hope you're oaky tho :)

Bobby pubs= Bobby pinsGrin. As you can tell proof reading was never my strong point!!

Kittycuddles · 12/01/2019 11:18

Haha sorry!

Any time frame before the 90s/80s I consider the fifties .... I'm not v v good with maths and dates as you can tell haha, I think I once quoted the 1800s being the Victorian age and then later that day named it as my dad's birth year TO HIS FACE

Kittycuddles · 12/01/2019 11:24

Haha I wondered what Bobby pubs where aha

I once again Let my imagination run wild and away with me (AGAIN) and imagined a groovy 70s? With shoulder pads and disco raves as bright nauseous making colours in carpet pattern swirls adorned your clothing, and low lights and ciggerette smoke swirled in the air in between your very very large garishly bright coloured neon, cheap and tackily painted, large large large hoop earrings

cliffdiver · 12/01/2019 11:32

I asked a contractor what their level of 'pubic liability insurance' was.

Fudgecakes · 12/01/2019 11:38

Haha hehe!! Kitty....you are funny Grin. You have an interesting imagination! Actually....I was a little young for 70s pubbing!! But it sounds like a time and place that could have been a lot if fun!!

Kittycuddles · 12/01/2019 11:38

Texting my mum, finishing a long drawn out series of texts and sent ok followed by x but then pressed send before I checked it and auto correct changed it to old. I was in stitches. She was less amused
