Today, my sister texted me, saying she was about to go into surgery. It's been a long time coming, and we've both been worried about what could happen. I texted "good luck" back. My phone autocorrected it to "goodbye" and I didn't even notice. FML

Today, my sister called after she found out I was hospitalized with surgery complications. Worried about me? Wondering if I'm okay? Nope. Just mad that I texted her an update rather than calling. I didn't call because I had surgery on my throat and can't speak. FML

Today, I texted my friend and asked her what her sad status on Facebook was about. She texted me back, saying her step-mother had passed away. I tried to reply with "awwh" but my phone autocorrected it to "ahaha." FML

Today, I wrote a text to the guy I've had a crush on for two years. I typed "hey" and put my phone down, not ready to send it. A little while later, I heard it buzz. The reply said "Um... what?" Apparently my sister had added "I'm a shitty prostitute" to my text and sent it. FML

Today, I texted my sister to ask her if she was OK after finding out that one of her oldest friends had died. She didn’t know. FML

Today, I was texting with my close friend about her very sick father. She texted, "I hope he gets better" and I replied, "I hope he does." Autocorrect changed it to, "I hope he dies." FML

Today, while taking a rather large crap, I sent my sister a joking text saying, "I'm shitting my ass inside out." Turns out I sent it to my entire list of contacts. FML

Today, my sister told me our mother had died… via email. I didn't see it for nearly 12 hours. She has my phone number. FML

Today, my best friend went in for her scheduled mammogram, and I sent her a text saying, "How're your boobies?" It was only after I sent it that I realized I'd sent it to my history professor. FML

Today, my best friend was texting me about her sick dog. She wrote, "Do you think she will get better?", so I wrote, "I hope she does." It wasn't until later that I realized I accidentally wrote, "I hope she dies" instead. FML

Hi how are you?

Today, I texted my boss, "I'm looking forward to doing you" instead of, "I'm looking forward to seeing you" thanks to a very unfortunate combination of my atrocious typing skills on a smartphone and an overzealous autocorrect function. FML

Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. Should have. There, now you've read it 20 times you should remember it and not make that mistake again.

Did anyone notice there was more than one consecutive "Should have" in #19's reply?

There was? Shit, I totally missed that. What I did notice was that the first comment made no sense regardless of grammar. "I should have laughed more than I should have"? What?

**** both your lives. More so hers for having surgery. Just apologize via text saying auto-correct got you.

She probably took it as-- you were saying "goodbye" to her because she was busy going into surgery. No harm.

Well that's cruel of your phone. Maybe this will turn into an inside joke when it comes to surgeries

I never understood autocorrect issues. Do you not read a freaking message before you send it?

rg350dx 29

Friday 3 May 2013 4:23

Well I'm usually in a rush to reply to the text and get back to watching **** on my phone. Why else would you need a phone with Internet access, am I right? *goes for a high five* ..wait a sec, you might not want to touch that hand..

You deserve it. You know you can turn off autocorrect, right? Just go to settings, then keyboard, then turn off autocorrect. Its that easy! But hope your sister does alright with her surgery.
