Unfortunate typing errors

    I was sending a business email recently where I was pointing out to representatives of a company how poorly they were performing. I would always sign off an email professionally however by signing 'Regards, Blackcard'. Unfortunately, I occasionally make some errors whilst typing and, instead of typing 'g' typed a letter in the row above it and slightly to the left on a qwerty keyboard.
    Ever made an unfortunate typing error?

    I worked for a company that had to re-order packaging for a software product because of a spelling error.

    What was the product? A dictionary. :o

    I think this may have been sent to another boards member. I was typing 'I ****ed up' in a facebook chat and I hit the wrong letter after the u in up. I went to hit backspace and I don't know what happened.

    Anyway, I ended up sending the message 'I ****ed u'.

    I swear a lot, and autocorrect on my phone picks up on that fact.

    Was texting my aunt something about how I was getting on on holiday with my bf and mentioned how we 'just ducked in out of the rain'

    I skip ahead in my mind when typing and leave out words in sentences. I always have to proof read anything I produce.

    "Sorry for any inconvenience" can turn into "sorry for any incontinence" if you don't pay attention to a spellcheck change and hit send :o

    I meant to text a fellow asking for cock and predictive text changed it to anal. Same keys. It was mortifying.

    Not an a mail but in a work meeting with two partners Instead of saying "the partner is rubbing off on you" . I said "the partner is rubbing you off". Only one guy twigged and could hear him snigger.

    Received an email when I worked in posttoom years ago from somebody fairly senior looking for a package of data disks they were expecting. I was out of office at the time so forwarded it on to someone else and CCed her saying to keep an eye out for the dicks that X was looking for

    I have a 'friend' called Stan, who is a very clumsy 2 finger typist and often hits the wrong letter, or adds an extra letter. Not a biggie you say, but 'he' often sends correspondence out to clients ending;

    Yours Sincerely,
    Satan

    Topical, because he works in insurance :(

    I accidentally sent a nude picture to everyone in my address book.

    Not only was it really embarrassing, it cost me a fortune in stamps.

    On my phone, excellent can quite easily become excrement, which is a bad confusion.

    I sent an email to all staff once to say it would be good idea if they shared their colanders with everyone - I also offered to show them how.

    I work in the IT virtualised world, on more than one occasion I have asked for Sexi Logs as opposed to Esxi logs.....

    I don't make typing errors, especially not unfortunate ones.

    This guy I know, let's call him Larry. Larry had to write an obituary in the paper for his dead Aunt, an unfortunate typo meant that instead of saying Beloved Aunt, it said Beloved C unt! He was totes morto!

    I'm not sure was it on boards or some other forum but I read a conversation between a few posters where one.guy obviously had predictive text fail and.said condone meaning to say condemn in relation to child abuse. It went over and back for a while before he realised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,036 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    My phone regularly predicts "child" when I intend "cold".

    I've not let it slip through yet, but on more than one occasion I've almost sent
    "In bed with a nasty child" or some variant thereof.

    I think I posted this on here before, but years ago, I had to cut down my hours in my part-time job after going back to school. Sent a message to my friend afterwards saying "Talked to (Manager) and we agreed I'll only do two shifts a week in the shop from now on" - but accidentally left out the F. She didn't quite know how to respond to that :pac:

    Another time I was trying to say something about the roads being slippery as it was snowing, but told the person that toads were slippery instead. Wasn't exactly incorrect, but...
