Today, my good friend who just had a baby girl sent her newborn's pictures to me via picture message. To reply, instead of writing "Awwwwww" I wrote "Ewwwwww" by mistake. FML

thats why you look to see what you wrote before sending a text. YDI

Lol

#8 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:20pm by theAdam

So not an FML. You can just send another text directly after explaining and apologising. If you're too stupid to that, then FYL indeed.

#9 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:21pm by jet

Rofl. Send her another text explaining that you're too dumb to check your texts before you send them. :D

#10 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:26pm by may_cause_fail

lol wat did ur friend say?

#11 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:26pm by Youtuber

If it were my friend I did that to, she would have just laughed when I told her it was a typo immediately after (because I would have definitely said so right away). I hope you corrected yourself quickly.

#13 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:27pm by ddrluna

Don't worry babies are usually ugly. Also YDI for not proof reading.

this isn't fml worthy

get out

#17 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:28pm by bartmasta

One of our friends walked up to my 3 day old son and said, "Aww, he's so cute, can I shake him?" And I was like, "hell no, screw you!" And then we laughed cause that's just how this dude is. Maybe she'll think its a joke.

#18 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:30pm by alwaysalady

Yikes!!!! Ha. Explain the typo. I'm sure it'll be fine!

#19 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:33pm by synnerr

That's why you actually look at what you text someone.
But its not really an FML moment, just explain the typo.

#20 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:38pm by lnm701

FYL indeed, in my opinion. You just lost a friend without any reason :/

Agree with 4 and 14. Babies are gross.

hahaha sucks for u better ur friends thinks ur an ass now

#27 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:48pm by RxSkater

The A and the E are on two different buttons. One must be pushed once, the other, twice. FAKE.

#28 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:50pm by Keyro

HOW? they are so far apart.
Also, just explain to your friend and I'm sure they will understand.

#29 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:51pm by cowwart

Those keys are pretty far apart. Freudian slip, no?

#30 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:54pm by hellomynamekeyes

If you have the t9 word function on your phone, this is completely plausible. The keys for the A and E are right next to one another and if you were typing in a hurry, it wouldn't be that hard to make a mistake like hitting the 3 instead of the 2 key.

#31 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:56pm by vaevictis45

All you morons saying A and E aren't on the same number - there's such a thing called phones where you text on a keyboard setup where E is right above A, just like on the Iphone I'm typing on right now

#32 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:57pm by nycman33

How did this get through moderation? This is neither funny nor an FML. Send another message explaining. Problem solved, genius.

#33 - On 04/08/2009 at 8:58pm by Ohnoitslindsay

umm she could have a keypad? not everyone uses the whole button/letter system anymore.

A W AND E are all pretty close on a keypad phone.

if you did use the number pad then yeah, YDI
if it was a keypad, I understand. I make simple spelling mistakes all the time.

#34 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:00pm by amykillswitch

thats not rly a big deal, just send a nother text explaining, everyone has had text typos before. this isnt like the ones where people send naked pix to their grandparents by mistake or w/e.

#35 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:00pm by louisianagrrrrl

what a waste of an fml, how did this even get posted

#36 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:06pm by DanIsTheMan

This site is starting to look for the funniest stories. And if they happen to be baldface lies, they don't care because the people complaining are obviously coming back either way.

#37 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:15pm by SomethingWitty

haha thats funny not such a biggie tho u can just text her back

#38 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:17pm by jules96

I love when FMLs like this get accepted. How fake is this? "A" and "E" aren't even on the same damn number.

#39 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:26pm by greedy_dead_soul

Have you even read all the explanations of how A and E are close?

#131 - On 06/19/2009 at 3:53am by elektrik

i agree with #9...not really a FML

#41 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:32pm by trackrunner525

#12, #22.
They're called texting phones. He/she could have easily messed up, E and A are close to eachother especially on a phone. http://img.cellular-news.com/story/30206/Verizon_Wireless_to_Start_Selling_Samsug_Alias_Handset_1.jpg

#44 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:43pm by nikerush2

Like many people already said, if they used T9 mode this is definitely a possible typo. The 2 key (containing A) is right next to the 3 key (containing E). But if the OP has a full QWERTY keyboard or was using Abc mode for their texting, then this is bacon.

#46 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:44pm by nikerush2

That's an easy mistake to fix. I doubt she really thought you meant to say that after you explained it was a typo...

#48 - On 04/08/2009 at 9:50pm by megs8907

Haha #4 is right. I wonder how many people know what he means...

aw hopefully she understands :P

#52 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:09pm by woahcomments

I'm sure she knew it was a typo, but still, FYL.

#53 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:11pm by 100308

@22: On my phone (Samsung Cleo) the keys are tiny and I make a lot of mistakes like that. But still, YDI for not proofreading.

#54 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:18pm by loveandpeace

At least it's easy to explain :P

#55 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:26pm by lifeislife

lmfaaaaaaao thats fkn hilarious I wonder what her reaction was lmao

#56 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:29pm by poopookaka

FYL. It was an accident so she probably won't hold it against you.

#57 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:35pm by Monty_Python

that's okay....i just saw some pics of a newborn....i kinda wanted to barf. lots of goo and crusty stuff. i wouldve said eww.

#58 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:36pm by babyqueball718

wow, one letter can make such a big difference...

#59 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:42pm by ladykitty

#60 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:42pm by TheFifthWitness

#61 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:50pm by lmaokrn

Today, I sent a picture of my newborn baby to a good friend via picture messaging on my cell phone. . She replied, "Ewwwwww". FML

#62 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:51pm by likewhoachea

lol this made me laugh a lot :D

#63 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:53pm by Marysenjo

You write that many w's and you don't even notice the beginning letter? Well, I hope she forgives you.

#64 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:54pm by TydusArandor

Haha something like that happened to me before. I was playing halo with my friend whose screename is 'a duck'. He killed me and I typed "I've just been killed by a dick." when I meant duck.

#65 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:56pm by drinkupgorgeous

ahahahaha this is funny :D

#66 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:58pm by jayfx

So just send another message saying what you meant...

#67 - On 04/08/2009 at 10:59pm by Silhouette

#9, you can't even spell APOLOGIZING correctly how dare you call someone else stupid?


And its kind of YDI, cause you should have paid attention but I don't all of the time so I know exactly what you mean.

Look before you send. It's that simple.

#72 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:11pm by kaisleysuire

learn how to type & look up at the screen, maybe?

#73 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:12pm by winknudge

Your friend is only your friend if he laughs too. Because that shit's funny.

#74 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:22pm by vashjmv

did you explain that it was a typo?

#75 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:28pm by luvtigers22

You subconsciously thought the thing was ugly. *thumbs up*

#76 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:32pm by Misanthropist

You subconsciously wanted to call the thing ugly. *thumbs up*

#77 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:34pm by Misanthropist

How did you even make that typo? On regular phones (1 - 9), they're not that close. Same goes for the keyboard.

#78 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:37pm by Sakeyaki

Oh goddd, stop calling it a fake FML or not a real one.
Its funny, and it sucks for him. I think in the moment that is certainly an FML. xDD

Just explain it and everything will be fineee.

#79 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:41pm by lalosaa

oh goddd, stop calling it a fake FML, or it not being worth an FML.
it's funny! and I think in the moment, it would definitely be considered an FML.

just explain what happened and it'll be finee haha

#80 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:43pm by lalosaa

lol awww...i mean ewwww

but yeah always read what you send.

#81 - On 04/09/2009 at 12:25am by yeahreally

That isn't really a FML, it's an issue that can be quickly resolved by texting her again and saying that you meant "Awww" instead of "Ewww." Not a big deal.

#83 - On 04/09/2009 at 1:17am by californiagirlx7

"e" isnt next to "a"

#84 - On 04/09/2009 at 1:37am by thatmodelqueen09

Like some people already said, if the OP was using T9 mode, this is definitely possible. The 2 key (containing A) is right next to the 3 key (containing C). If the OP has a full QWERTY keyboard or was using Abc mode, then I would have to say this is fake.

#85 - On 04/09/2009 at 2:38am by free_Aus

texting fail.

ooooooo >.< thats baaaaaaaaad

#87 - On 04/09/2009 at 3:36am by crushedrose3

Oh come on, how do you press 3 twice by accident instead of pressing 2 just once? Again, water... this story holds none.

#88 - On 04/09/2009 at 3:54am by Denno

No. Your first answer sounds about right. People always want you to goo goo and awww over their new babies. But newborns are ugly, smelly, wrinkled little bags of puke!

#89 - On 04/09/2009 at 4:41am by Jimboom

LOL

#90 - On 04/09/2009 at 4:43am by Beeebop

LMAOOOOOOOO THAT HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEE XD

#91 - On 04/09/2009 at 5:11am by somthingsomthing

Must people really call fake on every FML? Does it matter if these things happened or not? They're funny, they make people laugh, get over yourselves. Like someone said before, if you want true stories go to crimestoppers and mentally stick a 'FML' on the end of each one. If you want giggles then come here and stop bitching.

#92 - On 04/09/2009 at 5:52am by paperfox

how do you mess something like that up? if your phone has a full keyboard the a and e are nowhere near eachother....if you text by letter/number...the e and a are in complete opposite places/positions on the phone. you are an idiot and you deserved that

#93 - On 04/09/2009 at 5:57am by fortney

Life's a joke. >

#94 - On 04/09/2009 at 7:38am by Effing

Oh wow. You could always tell her that it was an accident say what you meant to say and apologize. :) I'm sure she'll understand.

#95 - On 04/09/2009 at 7:41am by acro_actress95

This isn't really a FML... because all you had to do was text her again and say you made a spelling error. Problem solved.

#96 - On 04/09/2009 at 8:36am by itsTiffany

If she has an iphone, granted you can't do mms on it, the iPhone often decides that it knows better than you and will type something different.

#97 - On 04/09/2009 at 9:27am by arby

just send an explanation, tard. not an FML.

#98 - On 04/09/2009 at 10:25am by yesbutnotyou

hahahahahha this made me laugh out loud seriously...

#99 - On 04/09/2009 at 10:48am by planetearth

Holy shit, I got a good laugh out of this. Mostly because I could see myself doing the same thing, if I hadn't gotten a cell phone with a full qwerty. Happened ALL the time when I used T9 on my old cell...

Sooooo fucking funny.

#100 - On 04/09/2009 at 11:09am by kbtoys

Proofreading: truly God's work.

#101 - On 04/09/2009 at 1:06pm by Banthestrandland

yeah this isn't a very good fml, it's so simple to just fix it.

#102 - On 04/09/2009 at 1:15pm by lmf88

o well just text back "that was an accident" no big deal!!!

#103 - On 04/09/2009 at 2:09pm by sheepyblah

haha this actually made me lol.
hilarious.

#104 - On 04/09/2009 at 3:37pm by sLap

YDI for not immediately texting her back with an explanation.

Or, you're just wasting everyone's time because you apologized, explained, and nothing at all bad came out of it. Your good friend would understand, I'm sure.

#105 - On 04/09/2009 at 4:37pm by fALLyl

If you texted her again with the correct spelling, I hope she'll understand =]

#106 - On 04/09/2009 at 4:44pm by planecrashdreams

omgg i'm soo sorry tht happened!! i hate txting. . .

#107 - On 04/09/2009 at 5:52pm by moosey1234

LOL thats the most awesome mistake I have ever heard of. You win, haha.

#108 - On 04/09/2009 at 6:10pm by RoadkillZoo

YDI!!! 'a' isnt tht close to the 'e'

#109 - On 04/09/2009 at 8:10pm by comebckkid14

lmao.
its not that big of a deal.
you could just apologize & ladeedada.


but everyone else sayin stuff abt the story not being believable,
need to chillll.
it was funny.
it made me laugh.
enjoy it.
(:

#110 - On 04/09/2009 at 9:31pm by woahfyl

lmao, thats something i would do.

#111 - On 04/09/2009 at 9:41pm by kayapapayaa

No worries. Don't apologize. Just laugh when they ask and tell them how their baby is actually ugly. It is good to be honest.

#112 - On 04/09/2009 at 11:13pm by rbick

my iPhone auto-correct does things like this all the time... but usually i catch them first!

#114 - On 04/10/2009 at 6:35am by Neenerzwingz

Easy fix. Just erase it and send the right one.

#115 - On 04/10/2009 at 9:47am by mzmaverickd

hmm, perhaps your subconscious was trying to tell you something...?

#116 - On 04/10/2009 at 1:24pm by Misha

This is why you double check things before sending.

#117 - On 04/10/2009 at 4:22pm by SarahxJane

Lesson: ALWAYS check your text before you send.

#118 - On 04/12/2009 at 4:00pm by zland

E is on the top row beside W
A is in the middle

#125 - On 05/03/2009 at 4:47am by 24788

omg lol this had me laughing for a good few minutes. I can only picture the look on her face when she got a reply to pictures of her baby daughter that read "ewwww"
But yeah...YDI. always reread your text before you send it out.

#126 - On 05/25/2009 at 1:57am by Blue33

That sucks so much I did the same thing only it was for a job application

#129 - On 06/06/2009 at 10:21pm by nick333

Why would she take that so seriously? Does she really believe u think her baby is disgusting? If so, FYL, but also FHL for not thinking it was sarcasm or a mistake.

#130 - On 06/08/2009 at 9:38am by Ub3r_Crippl3

Why didn't you check what you wrote before you sent it?

BTW, if it was a qwerty keyboard, A and E aren't that far apart. They both border the W.

#132 - On 06/24/2009 at 3:02pm by iSmellNice

'a' and 'e' aren't easily switched up. you'd have to be completely phone challenged to mess it up. .:., YDI.

#133 - On 07/25/2009 at 1:25pm by bubblybrooke

could be on an iphone. on my ipod touch when it wants to auto correct a word, it uses space as accept.

#135 - On 08/20/2009 at 5:33am by batosai33

holy shit people, its just an FML. YES, people make typos, get over yourselves. somehow she put ewww when the meant awww, thats the fact of the story. get over it

#136 - On 08/25/2009 at 10:12pm by tayman

ahaha i actually laughed at that one.
i can just picture it: someone getting a
