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

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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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'.

You can turn off auto correct. Jut go to settings. Even though my word says jut instead of just, it's worth it for times when it changes it to the wrong word and people have either no idea what you are talking about or you sound inconsiderate or retarded.

Autocorrect is a motherless wh*re

You should have said "i'm sorry to hear that." instead of "awwh" geez.

The "awwwh" was most likely accompanied by "I'm sorry to hear that" OP might have not included it because it wouldn't have been much of an FML if we knew that their friend knew she wasn't laughing at her step-mothers death

Being someone who's never used autocorrect yet hears this shit all the time, can you not just turn it off?

Oh **** autocorrect!!! What did she reply back to you? Thats horrible but its not like she can stay mad at u- its not ur fault:)

Maybe you should have spelt "awwh"the correct way so autocorrect wouldn't have to correct you... Why would you think awe is spelt awwh? YDI!

the "awwww" sound is spelt either how I just typed, or ending with an h. "awe" is amazement, as in "I stare in AWE at your stupidity."

I'm not stupid. I have autocorrect and neither "aw" nor "aww" have been corrected. "Awwh" is not acceptable. "Awe" is an entirely different word.

Awe: Amazement Aw: A sound made, most often in response to cuteness, but I guess in response to sadness as well. Awwh: Nothing; it's not a word. Well, unless you consider Urban Dictionary to be a reliable source...

Aww and awe are entirely different words. Fail.

There's a reason why I will never buy any product from Apple for myself. It's overpriced crap, ur getting pickpocketed the minute u buy from them.

it's called proper spelling, use it and you wouldn't have had auto corrrect screw you over.
