Am I just out of the loop or is it really acceptable to "call in sick" via text messages nowadays?

Why do you all have autocorrect? I always turn that off, before even start writing.

I've done that sorta. There is nothing worse then texting your sister “I can't wait to get home so I can rip your clothes off" never forget to double check what contact you clicked.

When I was younger I saw my mum using a software package called MYOB. I asked what the letters stood for. She said 'mind your own business'. I was so upset at that response until I realised she'd actually given me the answer.

Mental note when using your phone the first time make sure to add sec to the dictionary. It's not worth the miscommunication.

Much as it would be awkward for the kid, it would be much more assuring to know your parents are still intimate rather than treating each other like strangers or mere roommates.

Long Joan Silver 8 years ago
I did something similar to that. Instead of texting, I walked into one of the cabins on School Camp and said that one of the girls was such a show off. I didn't scan the room first. She was there. Awkward! Let's just say that I am not the same person as I was at the age of 12. I'm a much better person than that

My mother reads the label on a jar of jam out loud at the store: "Raspberry and star a**s." Me, looking over her shoulder: "Anise!" No texting involved. Evidently that particular error doesn't require autocorrect.

At least half of these are object lessons in why you should always turn autocorrect off before attempting to type anything on your phone unless you are an idiot.
AnnieLaurie Burke 8 years ago
Turn it off on your desktop, notebook, everything. Whoever set up autocorrect is a sadist.

Im pretty sure a lot of these are made up. Autocorrect typically does words that are spelled similar, or sound similar (if you are using their voice feature), some of these make no sense that they would be corrected to that.

I texted several very detailed updates on my labor to my husband's friend's wife instead of my MIL. Both their numbers started the same and neither was a contact in my phone. I didn't find out the mistake until it was time to push. Oops. I felt so bad. It was like 8-10 hours of updates she didn't get.
