The Best of 'Damn You, Autocorrect'
The nice people at Damn You, Autocorrect (dot com) allowed us to scour their archives to bring you our favorite (and PG-rated) text messaging autocorrection disasters. Here they are--all 14 of them.
Work Turns Me On
Emily's friend is more than willing to offer her some advice. Emily may want to call her friend back after business hours, however.
The Babysitter
The nice girl that babysits for Mr. and Mrs. Lee may have some questionable friends.
Know Your Rights
Jillian's friend has a jolly time riffing on Jillian's text messaging gaffe. Love that last line.
Cocaine Puffs
And they wondered why the kid was hyperactive and had difficulty concentrating.
Sorry I Asked
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time--in this case in a cow jail and then a lick-down facility. Heather's text started out well, but it went downhill fast when autocorrect took over.
Dinner and Abduction
Please join me for a light dinner, followed by blindfolding, bondage with ropes, and then some home waterboarding. RSVP only.
If Goebbells Had an iPhone
He loved two things: the girl from the typing pool at party headquarters and der Führer.
God or GPS?
God says Nick is 20 minutes from his destination. GPS says 10. Rerouting.
Richard Ramirez Does Match.com
Some guys see rejection in everything. Sometimes with tragic results.
Makin' Babies
Jen and Chris were surprised to hear a shotgun blast outside as they put the last batch of brownies into the oven.
Manboobs
It's weird. Sometimes I look down and there they are, big as life. Then I go into the bedroom and get my "manssiere".
Fugue This Poopy
Mom gets her first smartphone and quickly becomes the victim of the evil people at Apple who made the autocorrect software.
I'm a Hot Mess!
Poor Lauren. Her doctor prescribed her Smurf control pills. Her mom brought a bunch of barfbags to her dinner party. What next? Damn you, autocorrect!!
Seriously though--how does autocorrect make "smurf" out of "birth" and "barfbag" out of "napkins"!!?? Those autocorrect developers MUST have a sick sense of humor.
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
That's probably the last ring he'll ever put on Anna's finger.
