Today, I witnessed a hit-and-run. I used my phone to write down the license plate for the police. However, I didn't notice that my phone had autocorrected the number. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. FML
Today, during a driving lesson, I accidentally rear-ended a BMW at a traffic light. The number plate was "Law Man." FML
Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house. It was dark and downpouring so I couldn't see as I was backing out of his driveway. I made it out, but then my phone went off, scaring me, and I accidentally hit the gas pedal, hitting his neighbor's parked car. Turns out he called to warn me to watch out for it. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I hit a parked car which was sticking out in the road and practically unavoidable. I left a note on the windshield saying, "You deserved to get hit - you park like an asshole." Later I realized that the paper I tore to write on was the back of my bank statement, name and address included. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was waiting in the McDonald's drive-thru and listening to some music. I was tapping my non-driving foot to the song when I accidentally tapped the wrong foot and rear ended the cop car in front of me. Whoops. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Weeeeeeell, iPhones don't correct numbers or symbols, so...
xleanne_aLly 23
Lol my most recent auto correct was, "I want to go back to PUBERTY." Well texting my boss the word Pinery.

You can shake the phone and "undo" will pop up :D
Iarla_ceapaire93 24
Doesn't that just delete the entire thing?
mif_fml 27
Yes, it erases the whole word. However, after it auto corrects you can click on the word to change it back to what you originally wrote. This of course on an iPhone, though the post doesn't specify which phone.
DoubleDosexo 12
on my phone, you just hit the back space button arrow. I have an android tho
Doberman101 29
You can do this on Galaxy too. If I autocorrects, just hit the backspace one time and the word you put there to begin with will pop up. #23

Too late now, though

iOS 8 now gives you the original word in its list of suggestions.

Yes because iPhones are pieces of shit in every ******* way, shape and form. I always had one, for about 6 years. And they always broke down, mechanically or physically. This is why I switched to the HTC one m8. Amazing phone, apps, and service. **** Apple and their bullshit, fake, brainwashing propaganda!!! GahhhHHHHHH
AH1Zviper 15
Cut the shit. Stop trying to start a phone war.

Tbh doesn't every phone end up breaking mechanically or physically eventually?

Stupid ******* autocorrect never auto corrected it !!!
sayyestothedress 24
Stupid asshole autocorrect! How the hell can it autocorrect numbers? It usually corrects words, sentences, hours, dates (etc)
HarshD9619 34
Dear autocorrect, never in my life have I meant ducking. Yours sincerely, Every ducking body

That really is unfortunate!

That's what pen or any other writing utensil and your hand or arm is for
sarah5745 41
I don't think that anyone has a piece of paper and a pen with them EVERYWHERE. Op's phone was probably with him at that moment, so he just used it..
junkman6 22
Funny I have a pen and paper everywhere I go. Or at least a pen and some business cards I can use as paper. Then again I grew up before the complete reliance on cell phones began.
doodlecloud 27
Eh, I always have a pencil case. But then I carry a lot of pointless stuff round with me...the joys of being a girl with a big ass handbag.

41 - what, do you go around with a purse?
Haiitzmizzy 18
Why not take a picture? Wouldn't that be faster? :o
BSnapZ 21
Not by the time they've opened the camera. The car would be long gone.
Haiitzmizzy 18
I think it takes more time to unlock a phone and find place to record the number plate takes more time though? I'm not sure depending on the phone. Some phone opens camera really fast.
sarah5745 41
You can open the camera from your lock screen in iphones #22
gemstone586 12
Maybe they just remembered the # and wrote it down...
DoubleDosexo 12
You can get to the camera from your lock screen on all smart phones can't you?
brand125 17
wouldnt it be harder to get an accurate picture as its driving off?
willliamfriend 18
On my phone (iPhone) you Judy swipe up the bottom right corner of the lock screen and than you can take photos. F
devildog562 33
Anyone that hits and runs is a jerk. I hope they find that asshole. Way to try and do a good thing op.
giantsfan2010 23
Wait, the iPhone autocorrects numbers?
devildog562 33
Usually license plates are combination of letters and numbers here.
giantsfan2010 23
Exactly, when you mix numbers and letters the iPhone isn't supposed to do anything. I just tried typing in my license plate and nothing happened. Weird.
devildog562 33
Sir I apologize. You are correct I've spent way too long trying this now. I couldn't find a single combination . Maybe it was all letters ? Custom plate? But that would leave me believe it's be easily remembered .
giantsfan2010 23
Exactly haha, maybe it's a custom plate or made up fml but either way something is kinda weird about it. No need to apologize
TanzWolf 26
I type one letter and it autocorrects to a different letter. So this is possible. And if OP had typed a similar number before(not saying they did), it would remember that number and think that that's what OP meant to type.
