Those typo experiences

When I was still working in my first job, we have this software installed in all of our desktops and notebooks called “sametime”. It functions very much like msn messenger, and it allows us to chat communicate with people within the firm, even globally. We were supposed to use it as a tool to discuss “work-related” stuff, and that’s exactly what we did.

What? You don’t believe me? It’s true! We only talk about work related stuff… like what to have for lunch in a working day… which colleague of our workplace has the hots for which female workmate… which junior working staff are morons… bitch about our working managers… bitch about our workplace… about football teams that people in the workplace support… see, they are all work-related stuff, no?

Anyway… in one of my work-related conversation with a colleague, this happened…

Zewt: what are we having for lunch?
Colleague: the one that you mentioned the other day.
Zewt: which one?
Colleague: dick rice

Zewt: what????
Colleague: that one la… oh.. no no no no….!!! hahahaha

Actually, my colleague was referring to ‘duck rice’, but as the letter ‘u’ was located next to the letter ‘i’, a slight typo brought about a whole different lunch plan.

Over the years, I have also made some typos which can give a whole different meaning. One memorable one would be when someone asked me question and I wanted them to hold for a while. I wanted to say “gimme a sec”… but since the letter ‘c’ is located next to the letter ‘x’… yeah, you got it right… I typed…

“gimme a sex”… can be quite an embarrassing moment, particularly when your junior was asking you something. If we are in America, we would have been sued for sexual harassment.

If you think that’s bad, wait till you hear this. One of the all time favourite first line in work-related chat is asking someone “are you busy”… now look at the letters ‘u’ and ‘y’… due to my very quick but not very efficient typing… I ended up asking…

















“are you busty?”

Have you ever had suck... i mean such experience?

I do not mean to make fun of Chinese school students but this is what happened to my classmate last time. He wasn't a fan of The Pussycat Dolls so he didn't know how to spell the name correctly and he was requesting for "Don't Cha"'s mp3 from me.

Know how this fella ask his damn question?
He: "Eh, you got the pussy what docha docha song?"
Me: "What pussy?"
He: "The one say docha docha, from what pussy one."

I took 5 minutes to reply him as I was laughing my ass off. Damn, he obviously don't know what pussy means.

I used to go to St. Francis Xavier. Initials: SFX.

Unfortunately, predictive text input on my handphone insists on Sundays that I go to sex, rather than church. Esp. when I am texting fellow Catholics in a hurry.

Not a way to give the best impression.

one common mis-typed word in the bank's offer letter has the borrower wondering what next to do when he reads this:

' ..please signify your acceptance of the above terms and conditions by singing and returning to us the copy of this letter... '

hahaha.. sing well, borrow on better terms ?

Unknown said...

That's hilarious! I only have one question: Is Big Brother watching these online conversations???

Angel Eyes said...

Hahaaaa.. i had a good laugh just now dude.

Typo error, yes i had my fair share too.

I was on YM the other day. This was the sentence that i typed.

It was supposed to be, "Do you think i'm stupid?"

And i typed ...

I think i do think i'm stupid?

Rashikaps said...

:):) A project manager who's project documents I was auditing had once written - Sorry about the delay .. blah .. Please 'bare' with me.

Doreen said...

Don't remember I've such an experience coz' I don't chat much I suppose. Dick rice is a real classic. hahahaha

J.T. said...

Funny posting. Give me a sex... hmmm.. familiar. :D
Dick rice? hahaha
And what Rashikaps just shared. That is funny too - "bare with me".
I cannot remember my typos but it does occur when I am chatting online. I am more inclined to do verbal typos e.g. "since I did yours, will you do me?"

Weig said...

I ended a letter with "Please do hesitate to contact me if you have any queries." And I was wondering why after two months, there was no response from the client.

J u n e said...

Oh!! I kena the sex thing..-_- heh.. another problem with all this chat messenger is the short forms.. I was talking to my friend and he asked me what i was doing..and i sorta replied saying " I'm reading testis " when i actually meant "I'm reading testimonials "

Huhuhu...@_@ I think i shud really check what i type before i send. haha..

By the way zewt, can u go to freethinker's website to vote for him to camwhore at the cbox?!? Pleaseee Pretty pretty plsss..XD

day-dreamer said...

LOL!! I totally understand, because most of the times we just hit "Enter" even before reading what we typed. Hahaha!

Dick rice... or another typo and it will become fuck rice. :D

Horny Ang Moh said...

I made this sort of mistake all the time.Oh now I understand why I am sooooooo tired & all wet with sweat after my 'intense pokeing' session from ur previous entries.BTW no wander I cannot acess ur sites using office's 'holy' computer as ur entries got so many 4-D word! Have a nice day.

Wickedsa said...

no matter it's sex related or not.

Bee Ean said...

Arena Green said...

lol!! I used to think FCUK was the ultimate typo to wear across your breast!

zewt said...

ColourMeCrazy - Big Brother? u mean the boss? well.. the whole firm is doing it... is he going to fire everyone?

Angel Eyes - Hey! welcome to AZAIG. as for your ... err.. i try and try and try again to see how can one make such typo... i just cant see how.... i think i do think you're stupid... ok.. joking :)

Rashikap - and did you bare with him? LOL!

Doreen - i tot the busty one was classic.

JT - ah yes... who can forget your verbal boo boo... but with verbal... u can immediately make amends. but imagine me sending a message like "are you busty" to a girl and then i didnt know i made such mistake and leave the window there...

Cirnelle - how come i feel i did that before too...

zewt said...

AngryYoungChild - ahhh... i did that before too... the short forms... someone asked me "write me a testis la"... haha! voted already.

The 'hold one sec' reminds me on my supervisor 14 years ago. When on phone, instead of saying, "Hold on" she always say "HOLD DOWN"... and my imagination runs wild.. hahaha

Sasha Tan said...

5xmom.com said...

I have never experience this wor. Cos my typing damn perfect. So this is very eye opening for me. Maybe I should try it one day, "I am busty"

may said...

one too many typos for me, but these days I've learnt to hold off hitting "enter" before I spell-check! *I kiasu mah...*

zewt said...

neno - i guess i am not alone.

deOughtred - hi there. well... it depends on who is doing the "HOLD DOWN"... right? haha!

Sasha - haha... well, how u know... u have tasted before?

Rabbit - lap cheong looks very dry... think dick looks more.. err... stiff? haha...

5xmom - hahahahaha.... well, i guess you are...

may - wahhh... that's very troublesome... so stressful even to chat!

Anonymous said...

er.. are you busty zewt? :D

rinnah said...

Hahaha... I've done a number of these typo thingys on IMing but most of the time even my comments and SMSes are in proper English. And I spell check a lot! *grin*

the possiblist said...

eww.. dick rice.. uurrrgghhhhh....

i use to go for typing class..so sometimes when i typed too fast even when typed with the correct fingers, SPEED IS IMPORTANT as your fingers might slip and pressed another button.

like in my experience lagi worse:

fren: how are u? u ok?
me: im dick..
fren: huh?
me: sick* (!!!)
fren: rotfl
me: damn.. -_-:

zewt said...

bongkersz - i really hope i am... not... haha

rinnah - spell check? wahhh... isnt that a bit troublesome? i wonder how would it be when u work...

koffee - hahahahahahahaha... didnt know you're a dick... hahaha... we all have such days.
