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.
I think the problem is you hate autocorrect and not the keyboard itself. I don’t have autocorrect on mine and it’s fine
Could have avoided “!” altogether, and send “For you I have 720”
Could have been avoided by using metric.
Side note: if you say you’re 6.5" long, it sounds like you care too much about that extra half inch. If you say you’re 17cm, that’s just how long you are.
You’re welcome, penis owners.
For you I have 15cm
15.5 cm*
Sounds just smaller, metric bad.
On my keyboard, those keys are pretty far apart

Different keyboard layouts. The big difference between UK and US layouts tends to be swapping the " and @ symbols, so on a UK keyboard the ! is shift+1 and the " is shift+2.
Maybe not on mobile keyboards? Giving the benefit of a doubt here.
Estonian layout for an example has " on 2 shift + 2 and @ is alt gr + 2. ! Remains on shift + 1
We don’t use inches much at all though. But I’m sure there are other layouts with " on 2
Ask for 5’ , get 6"
I’m sorry, is this some sort of imperial joke I’m too metric to understand?
Roughly the size of an average penis. Makes it seem like he just offered to give her the “D”.
Which is a trip right to HR.
Yes. He’s offering his 15 cm
At the equator, that’s like 600 feet.
6seconds?
6 inches
Yes but only for 6 seconds
Mr Stamina
" also means seconds. 1h23m45s = 1h23’45”. Same for subdivisions of degrees, 12°34’56"N, which are actually also called minutes and seconds.
6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual
Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn’t happen
could have happened on a canadian french qwerty keyboard:
!
is shift-1, and"
is shift-2this could have happened on other layouts too, probably
German qwertz is the same in that regard
TIL QWERTZ
Wait till you see AZERTY (French) They need to use ZQSD for gaming lmao
oh god what horror that layout is
you need shift to type numbers???
Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers
no, I don’t think we need
&
more often than we need 1and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine;
é
(by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)
A fate fitting for being fr*nch /s
Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.
Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better
Also in Dvorak “ is below !
As a Dvorak typist, I have done this.
UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement. So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penisWhy make it easy when it could be complicated…
Just wait until you find out we use miles per gallon for fuel consumption but sell fuel with litres.
Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.
It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to type the quotation mark.
Like if you were to look at Venus and want to say “Venus is bright tonight” but instead say “My penis is pretty big.” It’s a really common mistake.
On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense
6cm?
Exactly, noone is that big
Shift-1 is ! Shift-2 is "
That’s how it is on a standard British QWERTY keyboard.
~I’m assuming you’re American given that you can’t comprehend anyone’s technology or way of life being different to yours…~
Assuming x
Literally the opposite of your shitty comment.
I didn’t know that the gb layout was different, so thanks for the knowledge, but kindly sod off with the smartass remark, thanks love
His remark was spot on. You are an arrogant USian assuming everyone around is using the same keyboard layout as you do.
Imagine not knowing literally everything about everything. And I’m the arrogant one? Lmfao.
blocked
And I’m the arrogant one?
Yes, I am glad I cleared it up for you.
Oh, BTW, you do know that typing word “blocked” doesn’t actually do anything, don’t you?
I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?
But why would you be hitting enter when you haven’t hit ! yet? That would require you to skip !, to be typing at a high wpm but still be error prone, and for you to make three mistakes in a row and then for you to not immediately edit or delete and retype the message.
This takes low accuracy (so a typical hunt and peck user), high speed (so a usual touch typer), and a lack of technical knowledge, all rolled up with multiple failures. Nah, this didn’t happen.
Man, I’ve written whole-ass wrong words in a brain slip before, let alone one character
Just stick to yes or no creep
Depends on their relationship.
It’d be creepy if they barely knew eachother. But pretty normal for somebody you know and respect.
