15 Worst Autocorrect Mistakes People Have Sent Their Bosses

Something non-political and non-virus related for a change. 15 autocorrect fails are here. Some are G-rated, some are R-rated. But all are funny.

By the way, I can relate to these autocorrect fails. Back in 2016 I posted “Hildy drew a big fat line.” on Facebook. We were discussing art and sketching. It came out “Hillary is a big fat liar.” Boy, was I embarrassed!

We can all use a good laugh now and then. So feel free to post your own autocorrect stories here.

But please, nothing about Hillary. That would be rude.

My daughter was buying a car from a local dealer. She was texting back and forth with the salesman about cars she was interested in. He wanted her to come in for a test drive, but, somehow it came out as "tits drive".

Boy did he call and apologize over that one.

My former boss wrote a memo regarding procedures for truck drivers to follow after they arrived at the “whorehouse.” He meant “warehouse” but he misspelled “warehouse.” Word fixed it for him.

sent a text about my boss saying he is in a mood again , does not know what he is doing ,and has a nasty temper etc etc Problem is I thought I sent it to my wife and after I pressed send I realised it was to my boss.
One good thing was that I never mentioned him by name.

Thanks.

Kindle is the absolute worst. It comes up with the most absurd “corrections” I’ve ever seen. Can’t think of one of them right now. I’m on our desktop now, but I’ll be on the Kindle soon and I’ll probably have one for you in a few hours. On a real computer you can shut off autocorrect, but not on the Kindle. :-(

One time years ago while as an intern, instead of “ill be there at six”, instead the text was “ill be have sex”.

Obviously my boss who’s a married woman, thought I was hitting on her.

Once he went down that road, the correction became just as bad

People love to blame auto-correct when the fact is, they are too lazy to proofread before sending.

True story, I once had a client that had “Mesorah” in their name. It was a Jewish company (obviously). Well I set up a conference call with them and the invite auto-corrected Mesorah to “Messiah”.

I do proofread. Sometimes autocorrect changes the word AFTER I have made the correction. It is very frustrating.
