Awkward Typo Moment

[GraspingVileTerror]

So, just now I almost sent a message talking about "the best kinds of heroes" in response to someone talking about a mission they were doing.

Thing is . . . I hit the P key instead of the O key.

Now, I don't think I've ever made that particular typo before, but it made me wonder . . . it's gotta be at least marginally common, right?

I mean, I constantly typo "Pride" as "Prude"

How about the rest of you folks?  Any particularly embaressing, amsuing, or slily typos happen to you?

[Coyotedancer]

You've seen how I type... 😆

No, but you can bet I will now refer to it as Herpes side....   OOPS!  Did I typo That?  🙂 

 

Edit:  I think it will "catch on"

There are credible reports that it was made to be a serious movie and came out so bad all they could do was recut it for humor.

 

Much like Galaxy Quest was originally meant to be an R-rated adult-oriented film, and then the studio desperately needed a kid flick for Xmas...

      My best one wasn't so much a typo as be aware of what you key you bind to what key.

 

      Newbie player just starting to key bind my scrapper realized two things.  Autorun was inconveniently placed and I wanted to rebind the 'r' to something more useful.  So moved auto run to 'p' well away from my movement keys and rebound 'r' to target nearest.

 

     Short time later the team is fighting Pumicites in the Hollows and predictably having a rough go of it.  And I typed in chat: "maybe we should trying p(ulling)" ... and off I went like a bullet towards the mob in question!

 

Oops

I heard a story from an old job of mine.  A gut sent out an email about his laptop docking station not working.  Unfortunately, he made 2 mistakes:

 

1) He misspelled Docking by replacing the 'o' with an 'i'

2) He sent the email company wide.

 

He quit 2 days later.

Think about the other games that can be 'improved' the same way, like "Herpes of Might and Magic", "Company of Herpes", "Herpes of the Storm", "Herpes Chronicles", and others...

Pretty sure this one's canon.

[GraspingVileTerror]

Hey now!  (You're a roc- no.  Stop.  Bad me!)
Herpes Chronicles is just a spin-off of Herpes of Might and Magic III.  So, really, you just put Herpes on there twice.

When someone levels (particularly an attractive female toon) and I typo leaving out the d in "Good on ya!"

 

Fortunately, so far they have seen the humor and guessed my innocent intent... Still embarassing!

[Solarverse]

I once typed, "What's up homie?"

But sadly, I hit an o instead of the i, and somehow didn't press the e key hard enough for it to register...

Yeah, I had some explaining to do that day, lol.

[Nerio72]

Not really embarrassing but during Live I was typing in a hurry in SG chat and typo'd. My SG thought it was hilarious and thus Waesome Lass was born!

Oh no, the memory burns!

 

An unnamed government agency I worked for once sent out a touching obituary for one of its senior leaders who had died suddenly.  Normally I proofread everything they released because I'm a cranky old grammarian.  But THIS ONE TIME, two senior people who were usually reliable had already proofed it, and there was a publication deadline....

 

And so it came to pass that we solemnly appreciated his many years of pubic service.

 

I 'bout died, myself.

Sorry, Vile. I have to invoke my 5th Amendment right, especially from my early RP days.
