    I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)

    “Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”

    I had a company gift to give him.

    Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.

    I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”

    But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.

      This is why I just…hate touch screen keyboards. T9 never made that kind of editorial decision, and a physical QWERTY keyboard with no software correction running at all didn’t either.
