What’s The Worst Thing You’ve Ever T-9′d?

text.jpgEver hear a story while drinking and think to yourself, “Wow, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard,” only to wake up the next morning and wonder why you laughed in the first place?

This is not a story about that.

Last night, while out with some new friends, I heard a story. A funny story. A story I continued to ask to be repeated for the duration of the evening. A story that is still making me laugh now, after the Advil, bottle of water, and greasy breakfast sandwich.

One of the guys I was with (we will call him Kevin) once met a girl that he liked.  He wooed her all night and was totally smitten. She was intelligent, funny, and had really cute dimples when she smiled. And – score! – he got her number. When Kevin got home later he thought he’d send her a cute text.

“It was great meeting you tonight. You have really cute dimples.”

Unfortunately, T-9 and auto-correct got the best of him.

Upon waking up the following morning – and receiving no response from the girl – Kevin reviewed the text he sent. And what did he find?

“It was great meeting you tonight. You have really cute nipples.”

Yes, nipples. I don’t know how it happened, but it did. Kevin never heard from the girl again. Obviously. I mean, could you imagine getting that text from some dude you met in the bar? Cute ass is one thing, but cute nipples? Totally off limits.

The story got me thinking that this probably happens a lot. I know my phone has turned “bomb” into “boob” on multiple occassions (“I’m totally boobed right now!”) without my noticing. So, I want to know: what is the worst/most embarassing thing you have texted by accident, whether it be a T-9 issue, a drunken text, or some other cellular mishap.

Let us know in the comments. I can’t wait to hear!

    I once told my friend a story about "LCD induced rants" except what my phone told her was that someone had "LCD induced pants"….to the best of my knowledge that must have something to do with clothing you can only wear when you're trippin'

    I was having a party and wanted to tell an ex who had recently gotten a new girlfriend that "you are both welcome" as most of his friends were there and we were on decent terms. Instead I told him "you are anti welcome".. haha no response and makes me look psychotic (:

    One time I was waiting in line at a concert for a friend, and a mutual friend showed up. I texted my friend to tell her that “I have Heather here” was there… but instead I sent “I hate heftier here.” I got an immediate “wtf.”

    i give off the (somewhat really false) impression that i'm a "good girl" so one night i drunkenly booty text this guy that i'm "really horny" and for some reason i laughed about it after i sent it, which made my friends grab my phone and flip through it. they've NEVER let me live it down. oh and they think its HILARIOUS to tell the story to anyone who asks what their referring to when they laugh at me when i'm texting someone. AHHH.

    One night I was texting someone (while drinking, of course at like, 2 in the morning), and I accidently pressed the speed dial number for my house. (Why is my house on speed dial again…?) Anyway, I wasn't paying attention, but I was telling this guy how 'soooo horny' i was… and my parents were on the other end of the line listening. I didn't realize until after it said 'connected to home' and i flipped the phone shut.

    They called back lol They wanted to know what the hell i was doing at 2 AM, and why I was waking them up lol

    It was embarrassing.

    Yeah I once sent "i love getting off to you" to the guy i was hooking up with, only to come and find out that i sent it to my best friend. It was so awkward

    In high school, my friend was text sexing her boyfriend during our lunch period and all of a sudden she started bursting up laughing and showed us the text she sent her boyfriend:

    "I want you to kick my puppy" (I'm sure you can figure out what she meant to say)

    her boyfriend responded with a quick "WHAT?!"

    hahaha we called her puppy the rest of the year, it was hysterical.

    my friend's name is Jordan….I accidentally texted…"Hey Korean"….Oops! lol

    i hate auto-text. this isn't so much embarassing as creepy, but once I tried to text "hello" to my friend and the auto-complete thing kept filling it out as "hell". The really weird/funny part is that whenever I left this phone without the keyguard on, it was always the 6 key that would get pushed repeatedly, so "666-666-666-666…"

    not a T9 incident but funny/horrific nonetheless – as a heavy weed smoker (among other things), im almost 100% out of it all the time, and when I'm not what brain cells that havent been killed are wandering around aimlessly thinking about where the cannabanoids have gone. I was texting this really, really bitchy text about a guy my friends all loved named Garry, and in my half-headed state, i connected his name in the text to being a text TO HIM, and send it!!!!!

    My sister texted him saying it was a text by her and she had got the number wrong, but it was so obvious haha

    needless to say i was unpopular for a few weeks after that.

    dimples doesn't change to nipples, it does change to pimples.

    I had a horrible night with a guy I was talking to. He was being a major asshat and really pissed me off and I was giving my bff all the details the next morning. While I was texting her, he must have texted me because I just kept hitting "reply" instead of going into my contacts to get her number. I finally got to the good part of the story and really talked some massive shit about douche bigalow and after I sent it I went to re-read it to see what I had put, only to find out it got sent to him.

    Yeah…

    Probably my worst fear come true.

    this is just a weird incident with a phone. My friend shadeed sent to the guy i had a crush on, "How long is ur penis?" He actually answered! That was when i stopped liking him (not becasue it was small but because he is an idiot).

    I met a guy at a bar one night, we clicked, I got his number and I went on my merry way. WELL. The next morning, I had absolutely no recollection of this. So when the phone rings and caller id says 'Jabob,' I'm totally lost.

    I answered and Jacob and I before really good friends, but I also managed to rename him Jabob. Literally everyone he knows calls him Jabob now. It's been going on for about 6 years now :)
