The best funny text messages are always the text messages meant to be completely normal but wind up being something much different thanks to the often cursed auto-correct.

God dang Autoerect!
Autocorrect - sometimes your fiend, sometimes your enema.
Is this from ten years ago?
Got through the first three... done.
Thanks, great way to start the morning.
I’ve never bought a slut at Walmart.
Anyone know what section they are in?

It’s from 2013, as was noted. I actually did a quick search for something more recent. But they were all too vulgar.
Yeah - I had “underserved” change to “undersexed” in an email - trouble was, it also fit...
Heh, depending on auto-correct can be risky in another way, when you expect it to flag you but it doesn’t...
At work, I am semi-terrified I am going to send out an email regarding a contentious situation with a non-spell corrected error.
For some reason, because I end every email with “Regards”, one of the most common errors is that my fingers type “Retards”.
I don’t think I have sent one with that yet, but...I always seem to catch it with my finger hovering over the “send” button.
They are funny-if not potentially disastrous!
I use speech recognition, which means I have to give each message a mandatory once-over, and after dictating a message to my sister in law just before Christmas, when I looked down and read what I dictated, it said:
“I am going to give it to your sister in the a**”
I was so astonished I have a long history of using speech recognition because of my line of work, and that one was a doozy. I laughed so hard that it made me completely forget what I had meant to say...
Those are the ones that REALLY get you in trouble...the ones that fit!
Auto correct on my old Windows phone was near perfect. It worked like Word. It underlined misspelled words and grammatical errors. It wouldn’t change things unless you selected it. The word suggestion bar was so good that you could have entire real conversations and rarely have to type words. My new Android phone us horrible.
OMG!! LOL!!!
Man goes on weekend getaway with old college buddies...
To Wife: Hi Hon, having a wonderful time, wish you were her.. seeya soon.
Bookmarked
My new Android phone us horrible. *sent from my android*
It is funny to me, because I am already pre-disposed to read things incorrectly when I first glance at them. I always wonder if I may have had an element of dyslexia, because I often read something (usually a road sign or billboard) and my mind absolutely 100% reads it as something else...I actually see it.
I sometimes snort aloud, but before I can blurt out to my wife in the passenger seat, I blink, and see the correct wording.
The funny thing is, my sense of humor tends to run just a bit on the ribald side with a good dose of dirtiness thrown in, and when I try to relate to my wife what just made me snicker (as I tell her with a little boy grin on my face) she generally rolls her eyes to the heavens...
Needless to say, it happens to me all the time on Free Republic when I see the title of a thread...
Oh well...you have to find humor in life anywhere you can get it these days!
I do it too, more the older I get.
A man received the following text from his neighbor:
“I am so sorry Charlie. I’ve been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you’re not around. In fact, more than you. I’m not getting any at home, but that’s no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won’t happen again.”
The man, anguished and betrayed, immediately went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.
A few moments later, a second text came in: “Damn autocorrect. I meant ‘WiFi’ not ‘wife’.”
