I hate these obvious fake ones.
then how do you explain the “asshole” when they meant “apple” one from a while back?
P and S are on opposite sides of the keyboard – no way in hell that’s not faked.
I think all these “fake” comments are left by people who don’t own phones that have predictive text and/or they never text anyone to KNOW that stupid shit comes out when you misspell something!
My phone autocorrects to weird shit all day.
If you use the grouped typepad instead of qwerty, this mistake is extremely easy to do. All that needs to be done is mistakenly press the group of GHI instead of JKL (which are near each other), and MNO instead of DEF, which are one on top of the other. By that time the phone has already given you “asshole”.
As long as it’s already in your dictionary…
I don’t have a predictive text phone but even I understand that the phone does this shit… I have a friend with an iphone and although her autocorrects weren’t nearly as funny as this, I’m still aware it happens. Some people are just stupid, I guess.
You sound like a total bitch. Lighten up toots.
Shannon, your friend is obviously just extremely boring. But you sound similar, so I guess you’re a fit.
Oh you idiot.
V and C are right next to each other on the keyboard, this one is super easy to recreate lol and also hysterical! Thanks for the laugh!
There’s always 1 that calls fake. Keep up the good work, I love this site
Omg I am DYING over this one!!!!! So hilarious.
Man, and now I’m flashing back to this morning when my iPad autocorrected “documenting” to “douche ting”.
Oh don’t get me wrong, this is my new favorite site! I love it. I just find it hard to believe that people label their sister “Big Sis” and say “china” rather than just dishes or what not.
Actually, my two sisters refer to each other as ‘sister’ and are in each other’s phones as such. I also know of a (slightly annoying) couple who call each other ‘husband’ and ‘wife’, and call their daughter ‘daughter’. I mean, not all the time, but more as pet names.
And lots of people use their good dishes on special occasions, and, like Belinda said below, they refer to it differently (not just as ‘dishes’) because it’s different from the everyday ware.
Not everyone does things exactly the same way.
“China” in this context usually refers to the ornamental stuff.
Actually, after they made the mistake and thought it’d be great to publish, they can just scroll to the top and edit contact info, change the name ( for privacy reasons) and scroll back down to their funny message then snapshot it.
It wouldn’t be that hard to do… or maybe they do have them in their phone as big sis. Thats possible too.
I refer to the good dishes as China…
We use both of those terms all the time in the south. I have 5 sisters and dad called us all ‘Sis’ rather than have to remember who was who. Eventually he just ran all of our names together into one word and said “you know who I mean.” lol China is much nicer than plain dishes and back in the day, every girl aspired to have nice “china” for the holidays.
I call my little sister, lil’ sis or baby sis all the time.
We call our older sister “sissy”. Baby sister is “little sissy”. Brother is, well, “brother”.
Our mom is “Mommy” or “your mother” if she’s being annoying.
Me, I’m just Mimi. *sighs* middle kid!
You would say “china” instead of “dishes” on Thanksgiving because, that being a special occasion, is when you would break out the good CHINA instead of (if you’re me) your regular mismatched Corelle Dinnerware. And that china having been in storage since the last big feast, it’s probably dusty and needs to be clean. And my sister is in my phone as “Sis…” but then, I only have one sibling. If I had an older and a younger, she’d probably be “Big Sis” or “Lil’ Sis.”
Don’t people read their messages before sending them?
The thing about autocorrect, or predictive text, is that it’s an “opt out” sort of thing. That is, if you just type along, once you finish the word and hit the space key, the “corrected” word takes the place of whatever you actually typed. Most people who text today are touch-typers, and don’t look at every single word as they go. And texting is pretty informal. I’m sure these people WOULD double check messages if they were writing a letter or something major…but dashing off a quick text? Often no. But you’ll notice that many of the posts on this site are screen shots of the “correction” suggested by iPhone BEFORE it gets sent, so yeah, people check sometimes.
I rarely notice the bizarre changes auto-correct makes in my texting until AFTER I’ve sent them. And it has nothing to do with which keys are where on the keyboard – it’s all about whatever random words auto-correct “thinks” you want to type. The #1 rule, apparently, is: IT MUST NOT MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER.
I wonder if people realize they can actually turn off the Auto-Correct function lol
…but that would ruin all the fun!
I agree!!! I want an iphone for this reason alone!
Turning off the Auto-Correct function wont always solve the problem! Some people just cant use the iPhone keyboards and select the wrong key. There would just be a jumble of letters in that case
Oh, that’s freaking brilliant. I HATE my auto correct, but at least it’s not quite this nutty.
and as per asshole/apple try adding an o, between the p and l, and see what appole gives you.
my phone autocorrects “appole” to apple… then again I don’t have an iPhone
LMBO! This is too funny!!!
Hope that’s just an anal ….I mean, annual thing.
I can type ‘just cleaning moms china for thanksgiving’ and there is no auto correct.
Geese… don’t get your panties in a bunch, just lighten up & laugh already.
