So my worst gaffe in typing at work was when I sent an IM trying to say "Do you have a sec?" but on your keyboard the letter C is right next to the letter X so I said, "Do you have a sex?"

Welp, I think I may have just topped it.

This manager just hired 2 new people, and I sent an IM wondering if they were coming to the meeting. "Will your newbies be joining us?"

Yup that's what I said in my brain. But you see, the N key is right next to the B key, so what I actually wrote was "Will your bewbies be joining us?"

My only saving grace was that it was a male manager, and he just laughed. But can you imagine if it were a female?
 
Mine was one that I luckily caught myself just before hitting Send on an email, because the spell check didn’t catch it.

I was signing off my email (to an external customer) with the closing “Warm regards.” But the “g” and the “t” are right next to each other, so I ended up saying


Warm retards,

BFoe


…it still haunts me.

That’s a funny but harmless typo, glad your manager laughed and it didn’t cause any offense.

Don't' worry. We're bringing it back.
 
This wasn't "fat fingers" per se, but many years ago I ended up accidentally sending all of my unfinished email drafts at work. Literally every email I had started but hadn't finished (drafts were autosaved) was sent. It was a complete clusterfuck. I sometimes used email drafts to write random stuff that I would come back to later when I had more time to think about what I was going to say to that person.

I was using that email to interact with pretty much everyone except friends and family, including former co-workers, employees, employers etc. Some of the responses I received were hilarious. I sent quite a few apologies.

I'll never forget the sinking feeling in my stomach when I realized what I had done. Absolutely traumatizing.
 
Due to the way predictive text used to work on phones, when texting my cousin I tried to type,

"No problem, Cous."

But predictive text decided it should be,

"No problem, Anus."
LMAO that one takes the chocolate cake!

Be fucking careful if you have to type "bigger" in an email.

did this the other day to a colleague typed 'excited' but because i had previously joked with my wife about being 'sexcited' the autocorrect automatically changed it to 'sexcited'

she thought it was funny







PS. I got fired.
 
Lol, I learned a long time ago to turn off autocorrect first thing when getting any new device. Still have not found the "Do Not Send Dickpics" radio button though. :(

If you sent it to Maple she wouldn't have gotten you fired

“Haha, sorry for the typo. Now bring your cock on over.”

Many years ago I was a denizen of the newsgroup misc.fitness,weights and one of the other guys wanted to debate the devotees of Mike Mentzers Heavy Duty approach to bodybuilding. There were a few of them that were annoying little religious fanatics who were loyal to the system and it's creator, Mike Mentzer. Mentzer was a former top level bodybuilder put on airs of being an intellectual. His main claim to fame is being forever bitter about not beating Arnold at the Olympia. He thought he got cheated.

Anyway so this other guy wanted to debate Mike's disciples about the merits of the HIT system, and he made his thread title "To the HIT gays." So that thread went down the toilet because, instead of debating HIT, everyone debated whether or not he did a typo or a slur. Did he mean to say "guys" and just fat fingered the keyboard, or was this a deliberate attempt to insult? Someone even noted the distance on a standard QWERTY keyboard between the letter A and the letter U.
 
I once made a post that was meant to say "Anubis, keeper of the underworld" on Facebook along with a picture of a multi headed jelly snake.

Instead (and I didn't catch it for a while):
"Anus, keeper of the underworld"
