Ever misstexted someone?

[Rameses]

dont even get me started on the auto correct.......

Oh here's a really good one on that...


A friend of mine was texting someone recently and meant to send the following:

I'll be there Thursday.  Stop by and see me, I'll be bartending.



This was how he discovered with his new Droid that "bartending" isn't in the swype dictionary.  The following is what was actually sent:

I'll be there Thursday.  Stop by and see me, I'll be masturbating.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!     That's hysterical!!


Yet another example of why I refuse to text and have it blocked on my phone. I always say, if you need to talk to me, call me. If I can't answer, leave me a message... but that usually pisses people off...

Though I must say, I've toyed with the idea of going old school and getting a pager and just pissing everyone off!!

not quite...

but I've never sent a text...

and have no plans to start now.

Wow! And I thought I was the only one! People ask me why I didn't respond to their text message and I say "What text message? Why didn't you just call me?" I will email folks but it damn sure can wait until I get home and use this desk top. Bought my wife a laptop so she and junior would stay the hell off my computer. My cell phone is just a phone and if I lost it I wouldn't be in much of a hurry to replace it. My brother in law and his daughter can't put their iphones down. Ever. It's make the beast with two backsing ridiculous. Even through eating a meal they are constantly texting or making/receiving calls. I've asked both of them if they take the damn things into the shower with them. Got a blank vapid stare then the  .

All that communication is nice and all but I think people just go to far. Look at all our posts about idiots texting while driving when they can't drive worth a shit to begin with! People are being hurt and killed out there because of folks texting on their phones. And I don't need to be readily accessible 100% of the time to anyone and I don't need for them to be. Leave a damn message. I'll probably call back.

OK, I'm starting the clock on El Matador to post about my latest rant and me waving my cane!!

Girl falls into fountain while texting at the Berkshire Mall

[fastwin]

Wow, that's funny as hell!!! Thanks, that post made my day. And think, she went out and got in her car and drove away while finishing that text. No telling how many people she killed on the way home!

Young girl in Burbank CA fell down an open man-hole while walking & texting.  Of course, the news HAD to interview the frantic mother who was angry at the city despite there being several warning signs and flashing lights...

I've sent a few texts to wrong people, but nothing as funny as listed...

I did, however, get a mis-text from a DMF'r who shall remain nameless ( ) about what the plans were for tonight and if I was going to dress up or not...  I just responded, 'Not your type...'

I text quite a bit with friends, family, coworkers and customers.

I have never sent a text to the wrong person.

I have trained myself to double check the spelling and the recipient before I hit "Send"

I do this with email as well.

I dont do well with technology, bluetooth included. 

I was driving and leaving a message on another potential new clients voice mail when some woman cut right into my lane, "make the beast with two backsing C*&T, learn how to drive!", I yelled as I narrowly avoided a collision. 

I glanced at my phone and it was still on......

I tried to review and delete the message as some Voice mails allow you to do but.......wasnt an option.

That's hilarious!!! That's why I don't do text msg.

[junior varsity]

i get drunk and just inappropriately and incoherently text. i liked it better when you had to drunk-dial someone, because then at least they would have a good chance of figuring out you were drunk. now i just seem like an asshole.


i mean, i seem like it because of the text messages. in real life i don't "seem" like one, I just am one.

I remember my dad doing almost the same exact thing one time when I was younger.

I was in the passenger seat and he was trying to call someone about something work related when he got cut off and his immediate response was "make the beast with two backs YOU!!!" followed immediately by him jerking the phone away from his face, looking at it in horror, and then slamming the flip shut on his phone.

All he said was "I hope they don't have caller id."

That's like this:

Always re-read anything before you hit send.  Here's why.
" I will never, EVER again end a company-wide e-mail using Regards as a closing. "

To be fair the T is directly above the G. Could happen to anyone.
