Most unfortunate typo ever?...

[GetTheDoorFrank]

Read this article on the mirror and instantly noticed right away the glaringly obvious error in wording 🙈 surely it wasnt intentional and dont things get proof read any more? Its imo worse because of the article content

Two years ago my daughter was getting sick all night and couldn't go to school the next day. I messaged her sna saying *** will not be in school today she was getting dick all night. Actually nearly died when I realized. Thank God she seen the funny side.

Our school newsletter announced they were fundraising for dead children. A bit past helping, at that point.

I still dont know how this happened but I texted a neighbour 'I'm thinking about getting a wanker once a fortnight'.

I meant a cleaner. Caused some confusion!!

I don't see it either. The picture can't be enlarged on my phone so it is hard to read.

I enlarged the piece and didn't see the typo.

'Blacklash'

I nearly destroyed a burgeoning relationship with future inlaws thanks to autocorrect.

Potential future brother and sister in law sent me an Interflora bouquet for my birthday.

Being a nice person I texted a thank you as soon as I received them.

"thank you for the lovely flowers they were most unexpected"

Rather than "unexpected" my phone decided "inexpensive" was the word du jour. Which rather changed the tone of the message.

Oh right. I honestly didn't notice.

My son who is a freelance singer was asked by text to do a gig.
He meant to reply "can't sorry I have a thing on at work". Unfortunately he managed to type that he "had a thong on at work". Unsurprisingly he never heard back from them!

Auto correct in outlook helpfully amended my email for me, so it read Dear Labia, ...

I was mortified and apologised profusely. Luckily the colleague I'd sent it to found it quite amusing and said it wasn't the first time it had happened to him.

At a temp job many aeons ago I took minutes of a meeting The most important person at the meeting was called Rodney and his name was frequently mentioned in my document.

Unfortunately I distributed it widely before noticing that auto correct had changed every single instance of Rodney to ... Rodent.

The most charming typo is “daft copy” for draft copy.

Most unfortunate was in a CV from a microbiology student. She stated her last year had been spent studying "small orgasms".

The name of Virginia Bottomley (Health Secretary in the 90s) was once 'corrected' to Virginia Botulism.

Message from school: Don't forget your child's willies on Friday.

(Wellies)

a senior colleague who was taking early retirement emailed staff to join him in a local french brassiere.
a few hours later, he conceded that might be a bit of a squash and suggested we gather in a brasserie.

Change in post office box number at work. Site manager sent a company-wide email out, using large, bold, centred, text for the new box details (PO Box 69). Which unfortunately was auto-corrected and sent as

PUBES 69

What is it? Am I blind?

Blacklash rather than backlash.

I used to work with a lovely client called Hetty, who happened to be a very large woman. Bloody autocorrect changed "Dear Hetty" to "Dear Hefty" on more than one occasion.
After the third time I added "Hetty" to my dictionary

I had to email a colleague who is quite short and what should have read Hi Tony read Ho Tiny!! Luckily I realised what I had typed before sending it! Me and my other colleagues still chuckle about this.

My DH, a vicar, put together an order of service that included the line, "Through Jesus Christ your Sin our Lord."

What’s worse is that those orders of service were used every week on a Sunday morning for well over a year before someone (me!) spotted the mistake 😂

We had a fabulous typo in an email chain at work that I still laugh about! A colleague asked a US counterpart if Frank (the finance director) approved the PO. She said “frank died” should have been denied, but colleague didn’t spot it, assumed frank had died, sent condolences and added more people. They added condolences, one manager cried, another talked about setting up a just giving page. 6 hours later she replied much later saying she thought there was a misunderstanding . It was “denied”
3 days later someone must have sent the email to frank, he replied to all, said “reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated ”

Bookmarking this as it is hilarious

Took me a while to spot the typo as I was expecting something ruder!

Not long ago my boss e-mailed me to ask if I could work on a different site one day because my usual branch was shit. She's a very nice boss, and saw the funny side when I just replied with "best typo ever, and yes, I can make it!"

I also once messaged my son on my newish phone and was moaning about the autocorrect - I did see the mistake before I sent it, but left it in anyway to illustrate my point: "this phone corrects both duck and duck to duck."

One of my colleagues in a previous job prepared a presentation about footpath closure during the foot and mouth crisis for our boss to deliver to senior management. She (and he) missed that she had written pubic rights of way.....

@Smoothyloopy

Did you write a post about it at the time?!?

I remember that!

I once signed off an email to the MD of my company 'Breast regards'
