“Have you found any cock yet?” And other text message blunders…

Years ago, while returning from a long-distance meeting, I sent Ali a text message that said “On way home, be naked, I want a snog.”

When I got home, Ali was tucked up in the corner of the sofa, wearing the thickest woolly jumper she possessed, and hiding behind a magazine.  She also looked a little bit worried.

Showing me her phone, the text message she’d received said “On way home, be naked, I want a pooh.”

Understandably, she was unsure of my intentions and had chosen to watch Big Brother instead.

Over the years, similar such text message blunders have occurred when the predictive text language has opted for another word instead and I’ve not scrolled through the options, including once assuming a friend’s wife’s name was Yummy before I’d finished typing in Yvonne.

This morning I sent Ali a text message suggesting she stop by the local garage to pick up some coal as we’re still waiting for the delivery.  What she received was “You better go to the garage for some cock.”

Interestingly, I’ve just discovered the same permutation of letters results in anal, too.

Memo to self: always check the text message before you press send.

So, has anybody else had any amusing text blunders?  Or is it just me…?
