Today, I said to a girl that I recently started dating, ‘I like you so far’. My phone had other plans and decide to autocorrect far to fat as I hit send. FML.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I texted a somewhat overweight girl I wanted to hook up with and asked her "Have you been dating anyone lately?" Unfortunately with predictive text, "dating" came out as "eating". I didn't realize it till after it sent. FML
Today, I sent a text to the girl I like, asking if she wanted to "hang out." Autocorrect changed it to "hand out," and she responded by asking what I was handing out. I panicked and replied, "My love." Now she thinks I'm a weirdo. 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 was talking to an attractive guy, but I was so nervous that I got tongue-tied and then blurted out, "Stupid autocorrect." FML
Today, while messaging a possible new hire to set up an interview at my retail job, I meant to say, "Thank you for being flexible" - in regards to scheduling. Instead, it autocorrected to, "Thank you for being delicious." FML
Today, while in the shower with my girlfriend she was going on and on about how she thinks she's fat when she's in perfect shape. With what she said still on my mind, I meant to say "honey, you're so beautiful", but accidentally said "honey, you're so fat". I'll be sleeping alone tonight. FML
Today, I was texting a friend about how my date last night went, which gave me a goofy idea: I thought it would be cute to pretend that I'd made a mistake and send my response to my date, just so he'd know how I felt it went. I should've proofread, because instead of “It went well, he was really sweet!”, I sent him “It went well, he was really sweaty!” FML
Today, I finally told my girlfriend I love her. She corrected my grammar. 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, I spent hours delicately writing out what seemed to be a beautiful poem to my girlfriend. After I sent it to her, I kept eyeing my phone to see her surprised message. No, the only response I got was, "You may want to use a spellcheck." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That’s not something you would say to someone anyways. I like you is all you need to say this so far is implied. When you say so far that means you’re not sure yet.

Just tell her your phone autocorrected far to fat. If she makes a big deal about it then at least you'll know very early on what kind of person you're dating.

Exactly. I was texting a guy I met through a video game. He wanted to say “it’s too bad you’re so far.” Autocorrect wanted to say “it’s too bad you’re so fat.” I couldn’t stop laughing. Between the obvious mistake and his “OMGOMGOMG” replies it was simply hilarious.

Reasonable people understand that autocorrect sometimes does the wrong thing, sometimes to humorous or disastrous effect.

You should always read over any email, comment, or text before you post/send. Do you want people to understand you??

Who the hell tells someone they like them so far? You brought the this on your self for sending a stupid text fishing for trying to make her try harder to make her like you, jerk.

Youd've been fcked anyway, "i like you so far" doesn't sound like a better thing to hear

The only reason autocorrect happens is if you spelled it wrong in the first place

And that is why anyone with half a brain disables autocorrect

The non-corrected version seems almost equally douchy.
