Today, I texted my friend and asked her what her sad status on Facebook was about. She texted me back, saying her step-mother had passed away. I tried to reply with "awwh" but my phone autocorrected it to "ahaha." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was texting with my close friend about her very sick father. She texted, "I hope he gets better" and I replied, "I hope he does." Autocorrect changed it to, "I hope he dies." FML
Today, my coworker texted me about her grandmother passing away. I meant to send a sad face but accidentally sent the party hat emoji. Now she probably thinks I was celebrating her grandma’s death. FML
Today, I was talking to my crush on MSN. She was telling me how her friend had passed away recently. I had two chats open and accidentally replied, "That's hilarious." FML
Today, I added the wrong reaction to a Facebook post, using the laughing smiley instead of the hug, and only noticed two hours later, when my friend wouldn't talk to me because she thought I like found the fact that her dog died funny. FML
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML
Today, trying to be nice, I sent a text to my mother-in-law saying that I couldn't wait to have her delicious casserole tonight. Only after sending, I realized that "casserole" had auto corrected to "asshole". FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend that I'm going to 'lick my professor's ass' instead of 'kick' due to auto-correction on my phone. FML
Today, I texted my boss, "I'm looking forward to doing you" instead of, "I'm looking forward to seeing you" thanks to a very unfortunate combination of my atrocious typing skills on a smartphone and an overzealous autocorrect function. FML
Today, my sister texted me, saying she was about to go into surgery. It's been a long time coming, and we've both been worried about what could happen. I texted "good luck" back. My phone autocorrected it to "goodbye" and I didn't even notice. FML
Today, I sent a message on Facebook to a girl I really like. She replied, "..." It took me three hours to realize she'd actually written it. I thought it was just Facebook telling me she was typing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Autocorrect at its worst. Explain yourself quickly before you're the biggest jerk ever!

To be honest if you were a good friend (close enough to ask her what was wrong), you probably should've called her. Or at least text back something a little more sympathetic rather than just 'awwh'.

Even 'awwh' sounds a little insincere...

OP could've said "oh that sucks" instead.. "awwwh" is sounding pretty good compared to that

97- she also could've said "congrats!" which would have been worse. Your logic is lacking.

She could have also said something like, "I feel so bad for you. Your family will be in my prayers and I hope you feel better soon." which would have been much better. Your logic is lacking.

I used to think people were stupid for not seeing autocorrect fails but now I've owned an apple device I feel your pain OP, but perhaps not as drastically.

You can turn the thing off, jesus.

No shit Sherlock. But typing on a smart phone without it can be difficult as well, which is why a lot of people don't turn it off, since it's more helpful than it is annoying.

..and you really thought "awwh" would be an appropriate reply to someone's passing?
isaiaah 6
Well maybe she was planning on saying all the regular "I'm so sorry" stuff after that.

I hope people realize that "awwh" could have been included

... in a longer text. Op never said that that's all they had text. Which would be a greater reason as to why the autocorrect was missed. Now please, excuse my idiocy of finishing my comment this way, it was a pure mistake.
