I heard a story of a person texting 'I'm at the grocery store getting milk'. Auto correct made it 'I'm at the groggy store getting muck'. Their friend was very confused and asked what a 'groggy store' was and what 'muck' was. The person had to quickly correct the misunderstanding and explain about the auto - correct.
One time I texted my friend saying 'I'm going to the park to feed the ducks'. But auto correct changed 'ducks' to 'dunks'. My friend was so confused and asked me what 'dunks' were. I had to explain it was a mistake by my phone.
One memorable story is when a person texted their boss 'You're the best, just like my dog'. It was a wrong text sent to the wrong person in a hurry. The boss was really confused at first but then found it funny.
There was a girl who got drunk and texted her best friend asking if they could go swimming in the bathtub. She then sent pictures of her filling up the bathtub with all her clothes on. Her friend was cracking up and told her to get out of the bathroom before she flooded it. It was a really silly situation.
I remember a story where a man had a pet parrot that he took everywhere in his car. One day, the parrot got loose and started pecking at the dashboard, causing some damage. He tried to claim it on his auto insurance, saying it was an 'unusual incident'. The insurance company didn't cover it, of course.
One memorable story is about a car that had a leak. The mechanic thought it was oil, but it turned out to be maple syrup. The owner had been transporting a large amount of it in the trunk and some had spilled. Another is when a car's horn started going off randomly. It took the mechanic a while to figure out that a wire had gotten crossed with the radio antenna and every time a certain radio station was tuned in, the horn would honk.
I remember a story from 2023 where a little kid at a park thought a statue was a real person and started having a full - blown conversation with it. The kid was asking questions like 'Why are you so quiet?' and waiting for an answer. It was really cute and funny.
One funny story is about a player who accidentally sent all his troops off a cliff in an RTS game. He thought he was giving an order to move forward but misclicked. It was so funny to watch all those units just disappear.
I know of a placement at a flower shop. A newbie was arranging the flowers for a big order. She got so carried away with making the bouquets look beautiful that she didn't realize she had used all the roses for one bouquet. When the customer came to pick up the order, there was one huge rose - filled bouquet and a bunch of other bouquets with no roses. The customer was amused and ended up buying just the big one.
A phlebotomist told me that she had a patient who was a magician. While she was getting ready to draw blood, the magician patient did a little magic trick with a coin to distract himself. He made the coin disappear and then reappear in his other hand. It was so unexpected and funny that it really lightened the mood in the room.
There was a music teacher who had a really unique way of teaching rhythm. He would make all the students stand up and march around the classroom like soldiers while chanting the beats. One day, a student accidentally tripped and knocked over a few chairs. Instead of getting angry, the teacher incorporated it into the rhythm, saying it was a new kind of 'accidental percussion'. It was so funny and we all had a great time.
