  1. Monkey face says:

    Try putting your finger in your butt hole then make the auto correct option smell your finger, that should do the trick ;)

  2. fuujio says:

    I’d lick that sausage

  3. Some Guy says:

    Shark is a better name anyway

  4. *facepalm* says:

    Okay, I call slight bs. I have a Blackberry myself, and whenever I type in any of those words, they do not auto-correct to the other words she mentioned. So, either she is a viciously bad speller and somehow misspelled those basic words while typing to have them auto-correct to words in question, or she has her auto-correct specifically set up to correct those basic words to the actual words that came up.

    • *facepalm* says:

      Though I do agree with Some Guy – Shark IS a much better name.

    • Bob says:

      Could just be set to a different language

    • Poggy says:

      How the bloody hell does ‘link’ turn into ‘sausage’? Don’t phones autocorrect to words with the same number of characters??

      In other news, massive fail to me for accidentally sending just the word ‘sausage’ to someone in a message, while trying to check the Backberry’s autocorrect. X_X

      • skyman724 says:

        The only real FAIL (all of the other ones are definitely fake………..and g@y) is that Shar has a Blackberry. IPHONE FTW!

        • Assmonger says:

          ^This. BlackBerries are wortless, enslaving pieces of useless trash. The iPhone can actually do more stuff than just chatting about trivial crap all day, completely making you lose awareness of your surroundings. iPhones are real smartphones, “SlaveBerries” are… uh, stupidphones.

          • Not hipster says:

            Yer, buying a buggy piece of crap ’cause it is hipster is a great reccomendation. Go spend your money on basic apps boy and leave the field for the men who have real stuff to do

            • Assmonger says:

              Will do, sir.

              But I don’t own an iPhone myself, just a regular old Nokia. My intention was to point out that while it definetly is NOT the best phone out there, the iPhone is better than the BlackBerry, which is considered by many people a completely necesary part of their daily life.
              I understand that the last sentence I used sounded like I was some sort of iPhone fanboy, I’m not. Just a BlackBerry detractor.

              I’m also not a hipster.

          • Needs to the heck says:

            Assmonger, may I introduce you to Monkey face? Monkey face, this might be the true love you’ve been seeking.

          • Poggy says:

            I agree. I also have an iPhone and far prefer it. I call my BB my Failberry.

        • Tablo says:

          iPhones aren’t really better at autocorrecting seeing all the incidents people have with it… so Android FTW?

      • Alexia - Forever ignored Texan woman of teh internetz says:

        na mn… et wud du dat… hv u evr sen fuatocorct.com ets fol uv atocorct fals n sum uv dm r so dfrant ets ridculus

    • Annie says:

      She probably is a bad speller and hit too many buttons while trying to type on a small keyboard like, say, a blackberry has. [But I'm just aiming for optimism!]

    • cebuspoop says:

      agree with the bs. my bb barely corrects anything, AND the auto-correct is customizable. just another attention whore.

    • graham says:

      I think it’s because of SureType on the Pearl or Storm. or she somehow managed to corrupt her autocorrect dictionary

    • Luna says:

      I have to punch my blackberry curve to get it to work, so I wouldn’t go making assumptions like that…

      Chances are she can’t spell for sh*t though.

  5. Geoffrey says:

    It’s not just auto correct, it’s super auto correct.

  6. Tizzle says:

    Dr. Howie Feltersnatch, M.D.

  7. Asbestos says:

    It’s called “Add to dictionary”. Go back to some crap flip phone if you’re not going to use your smartphone properly. This is just one of those things that really grinds my gears.

  8. Brandon says:

    I call BS too, every auto correct i know wouldn’t make the word start with a different letter teeth and snatch would not even come up. And i’m sure its not auto correct as much as the predictive text…either way both change words to ones you use commonly so i’m sure she normally types snatch and sausage a lot :D …and yes I vote Shark as a better name!

    • Leigha says:

      Android will suggest words that don’t start with the same letter (no idea about Blackberry), so I buy “teeth” to “snatch”, especially since all you’d have to do is hit the wrong letter to make it have no clue what you’re trying to say.

      But “link” to “sausage”? I don’t get that at all.

  9. Seiche says:

    i dont really get it, doesn’t autocorrect let you see what they will correct? dont you read before you send?

  10. Violettia says:

    Just turn the f*@king auto correct OFF already, people. It’s bad enough to have to read all of your ridiculous messages without having to hear you complain about it afterwards. Do you seriously not have enough time just to type the words out yourself? Srsly?

  11. Verge says:

    Did everyone miss “palmface”?

  12. Brendon says:

    Can’t you just turn autocorrect/predictive text off?

  13. The_Dude_that_failed - Chief waste management officer of teh internetz says:

    Link becomes sausage? I don’t even

  14. CriticalQuit says:

    More like Auto-Incorrect.

  15. Miles O' Miles says:

    ‘Link’ to “sausage”? I’m calling Bravo Sierra.

    This is both fake and gay.

    Fay-ul.

    And every other overused, cliche’d moniker you can think of.

  16. Snip3rM00n says:

    Blackberries suck.

  17. Shari says:

    I just love this because it’s my name, and I never meet anyone with my name spelling! :D

  18. Captain Obvious says:

    * *facepalm* like srsly…

  19. O says:

    Eheheheheh!

  20. S says:

    *palmface*

  21. Tablo says:

    This is why BlackBerry = dumbphone.

  22. Joe Mama says:

    Somehow, I like “lick a sausage” so much better than “click a link.”

  23. Muff Punch says:

    I like breakfast sausages

  24. fail says:

    THOSE are the statuses that should have been uploaded here

  25. JunieBug says:

    Lol this made my day right here

  26. Nicole says:

    Because reading what you typed before you send it is totally not worth the 2.3 seconds it takes.

  27. Meow says:

    My husband and I just peed our collective pants lawling at this.

  28. Muff Punch says:

    2.1 secs….

  29. Lucy says:

    What the hell kind of moron can’t type out their own sentences with using auto-correction, anyway?

  30. Dan says:

    ‘I love Eminem.’
    ‘The candy?’
    ‘No, the rapper!’
    ‘…What’s so special about M&M wrappers?’

  31. maxleresistant says:

    I wonder if people knows you can disable the auto correction?

  32. Poggy says:

    Har har har. You sir, are hilarious.

  33. FoxRagan says:

    Wow this is quite the tech screw-up. This is so funny!

  34. teh d00che – Presidon’t of teh Internetz says:

    Auto Correct is a fail per se. Period.

  35. conanarama says:

    The auto-correct feature is a wonderful thing as it’s easy to hit other keys with your meaty sausage-like fingers; making you backspace and correct every other word. However, sometimes those meaty sausage-like fingers happen to tap a different letter than you intended, thus resulting in an auto-corrected word that begins with a totally different letter than you intended with creates status updates and text messages like in the OP.

    A quick check of your handywork will prevent further embarassment.

    The more you know. *cue music and shooting star with a rainbow trail*

  36. Bustin says:

    I sense sarcasm in her post.

  37. MM says:

    Take screenshots, Damn You Autocorrect needs you.

  38. Michael says:

    Because it’s totally Blackberry’s fault you don’t look at what you typed before you send it…

  39. Muff Punch says:

    Blackerry’s taste nice too… I like to lick them…

  40. me says:

    may as well call it auto-troll

  41. al says:

    Hahahahaha i got tears from laughter
    Shark xD

  42. Malica says:

    It’s a common trick to anyone who’s left their BlackBerry unattended and weren’t smart enough to have it password protected: Edit their AutoText dictionary. It doesn’t have to be anything even similar – you could have it set to change “Jen” to “Medusa” or whatever you want, or “link” to “sausage” – although how often does the original poster actually say “click the link” for her friends to predict what the best custom AutoText entries would prove humorous.

  43. gp32 says:

    My phone changes “pfft” to “orgy” and whenever I type “school” it suggests “schoolgirl”.
    So “Pfft, I’m in a school right now” turns into “Orgy, I’m in a schoolgirl right now.”

  44. Gomie says:

    This made me laugh so hard I cried >.<
