Not a horror one but friend sent me a WhatsApp message earlier saying our Christmas tree is really nice as she saw it on DD's Instagram. I replied saying yours is really nice 'as well' but somehow the words 'as well' were changed to 'awful' and I didn't realise until I sent it! Was that the actual iPhone that autocorrected or WhatsApp? Anyway she has a good sense of humour and thought it was funny! Tell me your good and embarrassing autocorrects that you only noticed after you pressed 'send'!

I was texting my mum and she asked what I was going to be doing for the day. I was looking after my nephew and said that I was going to take him for a walk upto the duck pond, except what I actually sent was "I'm going to take him to the dick pond" Xmas Blush

A friend of mine once tried to text me to say she'd be 5 minutes as she was just getting changed in the staff room at work. Changed autocorrected to banged.. so it was 'I'll be 5 mins I'm just downstairs getting banged' Grin

That must have been about 8 years ago and I still chuckle about it from time to time

I text my wife after long journeys to let her know I've arrived safe, just a quick "I'm here".

A few months ago, I must have typed "I'm hete" instead, which then autocorrected to "I'm heterosexual" for some reason.

She responded "Well that's disappointing..."

We're a same sex couple.

Sending a text to the mother of one of ds' friends to discuss the logistics of a play date, autocorrect changed Hi Sinead to hi pinhead! I'd never even spoken to the woman before so didn't know if she'd think it as funny as I did. Luckily she did.

Friend's son was preparing his thesis for sports science degree; spellchecker altered "water sports" to "water spouts" throughout, requiring him to plough painfully through several thousand words to restore sensible meaning.....

I wrote my dissertation on underground car park construction.

The spellchecker changed every instance of "borehole" (and there were quite a few) to "brothel"

My supervisor found my first draft highly amusing!

I've told my mum that I'm feeling dick before. I was sick!

I also told her I'd got to my friends house but she wasn't home yet so I'd had to shit on the doorstep. I did sit on it but definitely didn't shit on it Blush

Never text while walking without glasses on, yet I still do it.

Once sent a text to my friend saying ‘Will call when home. My pony is dying.’. It autocorrected battery to pony for some reason. I didn’t notice and got confused b his text back ‘I do hope your pony is gonna make it!’

Also texted many years ago to a potential flat mate ‘Yes, I’m still looking for a playmate. When are you available to see the room?’

I don't want to hi-Jack the thread but I have many examples of sending a text to the wrong person (often the person I am complaining about in my text).....

My old boss was only 5 foot 1 and was extremely sensitive about his height. I once had an autocorrect fail from "I'll be with you shortly" to "I'll be with you shorty." He did not see the funny side.
