Here’s a prime example of how auto-correct tool can cause big problems for everyone. People who create autocorrect definitively ought to do a better job. On a more positive note, grandma probably chuckled when she heard fake news of her death. What doesn’t kill you make you stronger, right?

If this can’t convince you to stop using autocorrect, we don’t know what can. Your boss might get the wrong idea about your intentions if you send you a text like this.

Let’s try to put ourselves in grandma’s shoes: all those abbreviations young people use today are hard to keep track of and discerning their true meaning can be even trickier. This grandma learned the meaning of ‘lol’ the hard way.

Now, this is the type of text fail that will bring color to your face and that color is red. Just one wrong letter can cause so much damage.

What do you get when you want a Borat themed beach party? The answer is in the photo this girl made. Never mind, it was just an unfortunate typo. Damn you auto correct.

We hope this won’t ruin chocolate ice cream for you. Our brains are wired to associate images we see with the concepts they represent and in this case, that’s a very disturbing image that may come to mind next time we think of chocolate ice cream.

The guy who Tweeted this said: “My i wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole.” What else is there to say after an text fail of this magnitude?

We’ve already established that autocorrect has a mind of its own. An evil algorithm whose sole aim is to embarrass us before our friends and loved ones.

We sense Mark is right and he’s never going to hear the end of it. The message he sent will remain a source of countless jests for years to come.

What would be the first thing to come to your mind if your mom sent you a message that ‘daddy’s in heaven’? Nothing pleasant, we’d bet.

Mom’s heart must’ve skipped a beat as she was reading this message. We guess she didn’t find it to be as funny as her daughter did.

‘What did he say?’ ‘What’. ‘Really, what did he say?’ ‘What!’ ‘Stop messing around and tell me what did he say!”

This message has definitively raised his brother’s eyebrows. Let’s hope it remained their little secret.

While not exactly a text fail, it’s hilarious nevertheless. Maybe we should think twice before installing text-to-speech apps in our cars.

There’s a thin line between mushrooms and Muslims, the only difference being in the fact you can’t buy the latter at the store. Autocorrect strikes again.

Only one click seperates manhunting from Pokemon hunting, as we can see from this grandma’s message. It sure got the kid very confused.

You definitively wouldn’t want to text your wife and tell her you’re gay after she says she wants you to make out. This message raised the alarm for a while before he explained it was just a typo.

That must’ve heard pretty bad. She was trying to find the least painful way to break up with him but a single text fail rendered her efforts futile in less than a second.

We’re pretty sure this is an encrypted message and that’s there a code that needs to broken in order to understand its true meaning. Otherwise it just doesn’t make any sense, does it?

Isn’t it chilling to hear you own mom tell you that she’s coming to kill you? In all probability it was just a typo… we hope.

Using photoshop to make yourself appeal more attactive is a dubious approach to dating, to put it mildly. Judging by the tone of this message, the crush was not impressed.

This what we call a costly misunderstanding. At least they have a consolation of having eaten healthy foods.

Mom has a pretty strange way of saying: ‘See you in a little bit’. We’re sure she could’ve been a bit more polite.

Let’s be honest with ourselves, we’ve all a moment like this when we sent a text to a wrong person and regretted it literally a fraction of a second after we hit the ‘submit message’ button. Too bad you can’t delete texts in Messenger. The internet remembers everything.

Yes, you’ve read that correctly, if we can call that sentence correct. You simply are safe from blunders of this kind as long as you have autocorrect turned on.

It’s very noble to try and console a sick friend but sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This text fail did achieve one thing, though: it cheered up her friend and that’s something.

It must be very strange to receive a text from a girl, telling you she wants you to calle her ‘Daddy’. Just when you think you might live with it, you’re informed autocorrect made a mess again. Same old, same old.

She wanted to make an impression on her boss as being extremely dedicated to her work but it ended up looking like a weird fetish. It couldn’t have been any worse.

In the world of emails and social media someone has to keep the tradition of writing letters alive. We applaud this mom for doing just that.

Knock knock. Who’s there? Your mom.

Hanging out online can get us so carried away we forget what we’re doing. It has happened to most us, hasn’t it?

No, it actually makes sense. Bed, bath, and then (going to listen to) Beyonce. We suspect this was the courtesy of autocorrect.

If you were a cup of beer, I’d gladly drink you up. There are times when beer is our best friend.

We’ve all been there in a way. Have you ever completely forgotten someone left their phone at home and then gave them a call to remind them they left it on the couch? It’s one of those moment when you realize you aren’t as clever as you think.

Here’s a good reason to avoid using unfamiliar acronyms when texting with your friends. You don’t want to waste away an entire day of your life on writing ‘What do you mean” and getting nowhere.

Let this be a lesson to all of us to always double check what we’re typing to avoid autocorrect sabotaging us. Or simply get rid of autocorrect altogether.

Ernie should learn some manners. Making mom interrupt her conversation with her son is so rude of him.

Don’t worry. There are far worse text fails than sending a screenshot of a cracked screen.

Hold on, cowboy, you’re not Daenerys’s dragon who eats children for breakfast. Chicken’s far more tastier.

Wow, it must’ve been a cold shower for her husband. Fortunately, she corrected the typo in a matter of seconds.

His wife has every reason to be mad at him. Bad things can happen when you tamper with text shortcuts.

As the expression goes: ‘Only drunks and children tell the truth’. However, we ought to update the saying to include texting too.

As if the first typo was not enough, they had to repeat it. Jokes aside, texting fails suck.

Young people are so impatient. Give grandma time to get a hang of the new technology. It takes time to familiarize yourself with all those new features, you know.

This is what you do if you want to lose a client using autocorrect. All it takes is to change a couple of letters and puf… the job’s done.

They sure had their way of doing things back in the Old West. Shoot first, die last. Yeha.

Who can blame her? Reading Harry Potter is so incredibly addictive, for children and adults alike.

Sometimes parents feel so proud of their kids they get so caught up in their emotions to the point of forgetting what they’re doing at the moment. That’s probably what happened to this dad.

If her intention was to make her husband jealous, the text certainly did the trick. Luckily, Walter doesn’t exist, except in the form of a bottle.

Don’t you hate the feeling when you want to describe something but can’t find the right word for it? These linguistic failures can often cause… misunderstandings.

A caring mother texts her daughter to drive carefully but it turns out differently than expected. Mom still lacks experience in dealing with autocorrect and text shortcuts.

What would be your first reaction if you were in her mom’s place when you received a text like this? Confusion probably, or rather anger in case you’re familiar with what autocorrect can do to your texts.

We’re sure it’s not a swimming style. Oh, right, paddling. That’s always a good exercise.

In case you were having second thoughts about whether parents should use popular text and chat acronyms or not, this will end your dilemma once and for all. Short answer is: no.

Mom wins again. It was never even a contest to begin with.

When you’re in love, you have bigger preoccupations on mind than typos. You’ll recover the lost letters, eventually but the most important thing is to win over the heart of the one you love.

The message can be interpreted in so many different ways. Did she mean ‘best’ or ‘bad’, or it’s ‘bed’ after all? A case can be made for all the options listen.

It goes without saying that dad was relieved when he realized they just needed new tires. Still, only he knows how he felt during those brief moments before he realized it was a mere typo.

There’s no reason to worry, her parents and brothers will forget all about that unfortunate incident. One day. Until then, it’s best to avoid them whenever possible.

It’s a rather minor text fail, considering what happened to some of the other people on our list. It could’ve been much worse.

It would’ve been easier if he just used a birthday emoji or a GIF. Nothing can go wrong with those, at least in theory.

Scrolling through the ever-growing list of emojis is hard enough even for young, tech-savvy people but it’s a nightmare for our grandparents who grew up in the world of jukeboxes and gramophones. We can hardly blame grandma for this emoji fail.

For a moment we got fooled too. It’s easy to imagine he got the wrong idea but that’s only because guys don’t have time to watch romance movies.

Well, in mom’s defense, it’s hard to spot the difference between various emojis these days. Naturally, you choose the first best thing you see in the emoji list.

Small wonder she never got any response from the person she texted. Autocorrect can make you look like a creep in no time.

A selfie with the Pope, whether a real one or a cardboard cutout is bound to impress anyone, right? If anything, it was interesting enough to share on Twitter for everyone to see.

Can you imagine the looks Cesar’s workout buddies were giving each other when they received his text? It was something, for sure.

Grandma may have invented a whole new language. The economic version of English which saves space.

One can only wonder what happened when she got the exact same response from his brother. Mom may have suspected it was some sort of a secret greeting young people use these days.

The very next day, they broke up. A unique example of how a single missing letter ruined a relationship.

We wonder who was the most embarassed, the wife, the husband, or the realtor. Some things are meant to be kept far from the prying eyes of outsiders.

The good thing is, she probably won’t have to deal with him ever again. Text fails aren’t necessarily a bad thing.

Either Royal Crap Ribbons is a cruise line we haven’t heard of yet, or mom made a serious typo. We leave it to you to decide what seems more plausible.

Something here is telling us she will never see the end of it. Always think twice before you write a text.

We love how parents want to use cool texting acronyms but it ends up backfiring and making them look silly. Parents, you don’t have to use LOL to be cool, but if you do, it’s a good idea to do some research first. Just saying.
