Every August I go away for a girl's weekend with some of my closest friends. This year, a few days before we left, a few of us decided it would be fun to go get manicures and pedicures. One of the ladies offered to make reservations for everyone, but she just needed to know what each person was going to have done.
I texted my friend, the divine Miss M, to see if she was getting her nails done, a mani/pedi or a pedicure only. I typed my message and sent before proofreading. Less than a minute later I received a text back saying that she just wanted a manicure. It was at that point that I glanced at the message I had sent to her.
I'm still not quite sure what letters I actually hit to have auto correct change my message, but it changed "do you want a pedicure only?" to "do you want a pedicure sodomy?"
GAAAHHHH!
What did I just ask my friend?!?!?
First of all, OUCH! GROSS!
Second of all, I'm NOT doing that.
Thirdly - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I immediately text her, explaining what I meant to send, and she replied that it was not the first time I had auto-correct-texted her, and basically she's learned to assume what I mean to say in my texts.
Whew! Thank heavens she knows me so well and we have a long history of friendship, you know?
Now, fast forward about 4 months to last night.
My hubby and I are driving home from some holiday festivities with the "Florida group" of friends. I may or may not have consumed a tad too much alcohol before I decided it was a good idea to pull out my phone and update my status on Facebook. This was what my friends got to see at about 1 am this morning:
"I think I drank too much tonight. Scratch that - I know I did. Tomorrow is gonna suck. I think I need some Taxi Bell and water."
STUPID AUTO CORRECT! I MEANT TACO, NOT TAXI!!!
I immediately tried to post an explanation as a comment, but as I type TACO again, it auto corrects to TAXI again, and also offers to add TACO to the dictionary.
It was at that point, in my drunken moment of clarity, that I realized I am completely disturbed by the fact that my auto correct dictionary contains the word sodomy, but not taco.
