Unfortunate typing errors

blackcard · 15-01-2016 09:57PM #1

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.

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

The BBC website once accidentally called the Large Hadron Collider a ‘Hardon Collider’.

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.

Texted my husband today asking him to get me gay free fromage frais in the shop.

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'll just drop this here...

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

Ted_YNWA · 15-01-2016 10:50PM

I have been guilty of the :

Kind retards,
Ted

a few times, luckily all been internal to the company

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.

Samsgirl · 15-01-2016 11:56PM

I posted this before.. our department at a previous job were sending invoices to the Department of Pubic Affairs for many, many months.

Well I think I've finally found a nickname for my lady parts, thanks Samsgirl! :pac:

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.....

Canadel · 16-01-2016 12:15AM

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

Potential Underachiever · 16-01-2016 12:23AM

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!

melissak · 16-01-2016 12:44PM

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.

Ficheall · 16-01-2016 01:16PM

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.

Spoken like a true pastafarian.

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...

Unfortunate typing errors
