I can’t imagine the horror the lawyer had when he saw what he wrote
Right, because nobody knew it was awkward already.
Wow, seriously…the attorney’s are texting now? Sorry, would not be my attorney if they can’t take 5 minutes and actually call me!
Maybe the texter is hearing impaired?? Kudos to the attorney for answering the text…and giving us a giggle!
The attorney isn’t being impersonal; this is a common practice. Lawyers use text and email alot because they cannot talk on the phone when they are in court, waiting for their case to be called. Judges usually have dozens of hearings booked for one set time, and the lawyers all have to sit and wait while each case is called. If they didn’t use text and email, they would be much slower to respond to their clients.
@Paisley:
First of all, would you rather be charged for .1 of an hour (6 minutes) ($25.50 if attorney charges $255/hour) for something he/she could do in 30 seconds at no charge? As an attorney, I use ALL forms of communication and my clients appreciate it.
Second, since you like paying your attorney, maybe you can pay him/her for a lesson on using apostrophes …
I completely agree with you. The last time I used an attorney, he would text me all the time. I preferred this method because I didn’t get charged for the text messages. Kudos to all attorney’s that use all methods of communication! Kudos to you too!
I agree with all of this (right down to the suggestion about learning to use apostrophes). I’m also an attorney and text frequently. It’s very convenient and cost-efficient.
Why would you charge for a phone call but not a text? Just curious
I would much rather an attorney send me a free text rather than charge me for a phone call. With all of the ways to communicate nowadays, texting and email are very common forms of communication for attorney’s and they’re very cost effective for the client.
I wouldn’t have a lawyer who wouldn’t text! I am terrible at checking my voicemail, but am always reachable on text. I am in marketing and sometimes the only way I can reach my clients is text.
What a wild response lol. Paisley he was answering a text he received not starting the conversation. At least he answers even if it was wild.
wonder if they were billed for that text. thats so funny.
I call shenanigans. For one thing, autocorrect doesn’t know words like cunt by default, and secondly, the ‘n’ is nowhere near the ‘o’ the ‘u’ or the ‘r’. Playing around with the possibilities of how that got screwed up, it just doesn’t fly. Dude called this Sarah M character a cunt and tried to get away with it by blaming it on autocorrect.
I feel like it’s always the same person that calls fake, am I wrong?
He obviously typed curt and it was autocorrected to cunt. Sometimes the letters don’t matter, it’s the final word
Oh for christ’s…
AUTOCORRECT IS NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE.
Also, get a life and some humour.
I Agree
Well, my autocorrect corrects regular fuck to fucktastic. It learns from the user.
Actually, auto correct is based on usage. I tried to swype “tuck” and my phone wrote “f*uck” because I use that word so much. My phone also auto corrects to “Notre” instead of “now” which kinda annoys me. I wonder why this guy is using the word cunt so much…
How odd.. Mike’s statement is obviously true and everyone gets offended. There are even some all CAPS responses. Way to go Mike, you just ruined Christmas for everyone.
This guy’s an attorney. You think he doesn’t use the word ‘cunt’ in his offtime? Plenty of people to use the word about.
Also, he didn’t call her anything. Stop derailing.
Actually, my phone has “learned” naughty words and will put them into autocorrect from time to time, especially if I’ve overridden autocorrect in order to use them – sexting can really get you on autocorrect later.
My autocorrect learned the work “cockmaster.” Dont even ask.
Do tell.
this made me laugh. i love how terribly formal the apology and response was.
that is GOLD!!!!
I feel bad for the lawyer lol
The best part is he’s in court for sexual harassment.
How the hell do you know that?
He very well could have accidentally left the o out of court and it autocorrected it incorrectly (ie he typed curt). I’ve seen my iPhone try to autocorrect words to names/places/words I’ve never even seen before, let alone used.
omg too funny!!
naughty little lawyers. this is why you turn auto correct OFF
Autocorrect is a techies dream and the techies who built and programmed the iPhone have obviously decided to pre-load it with their own little game to teach all the sycophants who HAVE to have the very latest iAnything,a lesson in how they will screw you over…because they can.
Those Techies are sitting back laughing at the words they put into the Autocorrect Dictionary
so the lawyer decided to take a screenshot? lol
