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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was texting my mom about a surprise visit, and autocorrect changed "surprise" to "surgery." I hit send before noticing, and now she thinks I’m planning some major medical procedure, and has been calling me nonstop to check if I’m OK. FML
Today, my sister called after she found out I was hospitalized with surgery complications. Worried about me? Wondering if I'm okay? Nope. Just mad that I texted her an update rather than calling. I didn't call because I had surgery on my throat and can't speak. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
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
Today, I wrote a text to the guy I've had a crush on for two years. I typed "hey" and put my phone down, not ready to send it. A little while later, I heard it buzz. The reply said "Um... what?" Apparently my sister had added "I'm a shitty prostitute" to my text and sent it. FML
Today, I texted my sister to ask her if she was OK after finding out that one of her oldest friends had died. She didn’t know. FML
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, while taking a rather large crap, I sent my sister a joking text saying, "I'm shitting my ass inside out." Turns out I sent it to my entire list of contacts. FML
Today, my sister told me our mother had died… via email. I didn't see it for nearly 12 hours. She has my phone number. FML
Today, my best friend went in for her scheduled mammogram, and I sent her a text saying, "How're your boobies?" It was only after I sent it that I realized I'd sent it to my history professor. 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 why I have auto correct off. It's annoying how wrong it is sometimes. Oh and, the Ellen show. :D

Auto correct is pretty useful in my opinion. Though it does likes to screw with you every so often. If you reread texts before you send them it definitely makes a difference.

I agree. Autocorrect can be a pain at times. I was discussing Pokemon with a friend once and instead of "suicune is so cool!", my autocorrect said "suicide is so cool!". A bit awkward...

All you were going to say was "good luck"? Don't you think "I love you" or "Don't worry" would be a little more appropriate since you both have been stressed about it?

My mom doesnt stay with us at the hospital when we get major stuff going on. why? she cant handle it or saying i love you and stuff like that because it scares her. have a situation like that happen to.you and then decide how youd react remember humans act differently in different situation

Wow

Usually that's when you correct yourself.
XDsmileyDX_fml 24
OP said they didn't notice.
Wimoweh 10
It was a pun. The best part is how the next comment is an "I see what you did there" face.
Cartera 10
Yeah, now he/she does. So he/she should correct her/himself.

I'm sure you will be able to explain this to her WHEN she gets out of surgery. (Always have confidence) Good luck!

You mean "goodbye"
dalink 24
Yeah she was probably sedated out of her mind by then. Or at least had her phone taken away from her... You aren't allowed to bring those things into pre-op holding. I would know.

Well, at least if she doesn't make it, you'll have said goodbye. I mean... right? Look on the bright side, the very very very slim piercing bit of a bright side.

Um, no...

That's a very morbid way of thinking #8.

Or you get a surprise visit from the cops as you are now the prime suspect in your sisters death because of the text you sent her right before her operation.

#23, I think you over thought that lol. And no, it's not a good Idea to say goodbye. I'm pretty sure she would love to say more than "goodbye" to her sister.

23, I doubt the cops would think her sister did anything during surgery, you know, because OP isn't a surgeon.
CaptMurdock 25
Just explain the mistake to her. And I hope she made it through surgery just fine!
shaww 28

Why? Because your horrible spelling and grammar can be painful to read. There's nothing wrong with being corrected when wrong.

I'm sure you two will laugh about it somewhere down the line as she plots her revenge like sisters do :)
whatthefreshhell 15
I'm sure she understood. As stressful as surgery is, something like that beforehand would make me laugh... Maybe that's just me though.
