Damn You, Autocorrect!
Goodreads Choice Award
Nominee for Readers' Favorite Humor (2011)Damn You, Autocorrect! brings together some of the laugh-out-loud funny and painfully embarrassing posts from the hit website, which highlight the hilarity that often ensues when messaging goes wrong: girlfriends getting together for 'manila penis' (mani pedis); a husband texting his wife that he 'laid' the babysitter (paid); a friend asking if someone got tickets to the 'Lady Vagina' (Gaga) concert, and the most popular image on the website so far: a father texting his daughter that he and his mother were going to divorce, when they were in fact just going to Disney. Oops.
The phenomenally successful damnyouautocorrect.com began when author Jillian Madison innocently tried to invite some friends over for gelato. Autocorrect, however, had another idea, and asked them over for a night of 'fellatio' instead. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Damn You, Autocorrect! includes 200 never before seen submissions to the website, as well as an introduction from the author and website creator, Jillian Madison.

from 2019 to now yikes, that's what i get for reading these light books that i never really care enough to make them my main read.
Warning : if you have this book and want the best enjoyment out of it don't read the reviews, some peoples have theories that will just ruin the entire point of these jokes for you.
Its like i said a light book i laughed a lot with many of these texts, nothing more to say, its like one of these ancient books which title read : 250 new jokes !.

Now everyone who has ever used autocorrect (though autocorrect would much rather refer to itself as autoerect) must have experienced some of the mortifying situations described in this book..
Person 1: Sup, I'm at my place getting anal
Person 2: Dude naw
Person 1: Snack
Shit it autocorrects to anal inmeant snack. Dude that was the worst autocorrect mistake ever.
Person 1: I am soooo thirsty. Can you buy me a huge bottle of water on your way home?
Person 2: Yea. Of course. Why are you so thirsty?
Person 1: Way too much sodomy last night.
Person 2: Please tell me that was autocorrect.
Person 1: Oh. Dear. God. SODIUM!!! Hahahhaha wow. That was bad.
Person 1: Hew, how's everything going? I haven't talked to you since the big move!
Person 2: Hey! Oh it's been great! Still getting the house set up, really busy painting and stuff.
Person 1: I bet. I just love your new areola!
Person 2: ??? I don't remember showing them to you, lol.
Person 1: OH CRAP! I meant area. This phone made me sound like a perv.
Person 1: Are you done painting Jason's living room yet?
Person 2: Yeah just finished.
Person 1: What color is it again?
Person 2: It's called period red
Person 1: Dude. No. You're sick.
Person 2: Holy shit. It's called Persian red! I got auto corrected. Epic fail.
Person 1: Omgggg we're dying here.
Seriously though, how is it even possible that autocorrect is this dirty? The program apparently is a closely guarded secret among mobile phone companies and software developers, and most of them are tight-lipped when it comes to discussing it. I wonder if I'm the only one who suspects that somewhere out there a bunch of developers is having a ball?
Probably not!

These types of books depend on your sense of humor I think, what some find funny others might only find "meh" or "mildly hilarious" Alot of the time I fall on the "meh" side with these humor books. I'm always wary but willing to try them out.
Luckily this time was one of the exceptions :).
Auto Correct was on my first Android phone... I wasn't too bothered by it at first but then it started giving me goofy substitutes for words or correcting a word after I typed it three times before it decided THAT was the word I intended to use. I went from mildly annoyed to pissed with it pretty quick.
Trying to talk Lord of the Rings with my sister and friends using Tolkien's terms with Auto Correct was... interesting to say the least. I don't remember what words it substituted now but it did get us a few laughs and me mentally Gibbs!Smacking the feature.
A few of the things my Auto Correct did before I took it off:
Tom Hiddleston - Tom Huddleston
F*cking - ducking
Sh*t - Sit
Sending - Seconding
Ally - Allison
It did get points for knowing 'Loki', 'Hogwarts', 'Albus Dumbledore', and 'Severus Snape' though.
Thankfully nothing as bad as these examples:
Just a sampling of what's here....There was a few throughout the book I thought was 'eh' but most of these got a few chuckles or full out laughs from me. Some I was glad I wasn't drinking or eating while reading them :).
This was a nice and refreshing read, perfect for after a long work day (or just a long day). Would recommend, if the pictures I posted have tickled your fancy.
All together (if you count breaks for sleeping and watching my hyper four year old niece) only took a few hours to read :).
Happy reading!

Dear Authors Of High-Concept Nonfiction:
People buy your books because the title tells them exactly what they need to know.
In this case, I knew before I even opened it that I was holding a collection of inadvertently hilarious text messages -- messages sent by people who innocently assumed their phones would not change family-friendly words like "pen" to "penis," thereby drastically changing the entire drift of messages like "I needed a pen and he wouldn't let me borrow one" or "I broke my pen and it exploded all over my pants."
This was all I needed to know to make me want to buy and read this particular book; because although I am a 45-year-old woman, apparently I'm also a nine-year-old boy.
I really appreciate all the work you did picking out the best of the best from your web site. This book benefited a great deal from your sorting the material into chapters like "Awkward Texts with Mom & Dad" and "Textin' 9 to 5."
You know what this book didn't need? A six-page introduction. Because -- and I think I may have mentioned this already -- I sort of already knew what this book was about as soon as I read the title.
I wanted to dive right in and learn that Autocorrect is not only a total perv, but also some kind of borderline anti-Semite with a penchant for changing "keys" to "Jews." ("I can't find the jews to open the supply cabinet. Do you know where they are?" "I don't know where the Jews are, but the keys are here on my desk!" "Whoops! Autocorrect strikes again. Be there in a min." "Mazel tov!") I wanted to see mothers trying to tell their kids that Dad had just gone out for an oil change, and instead expressing the information that their father was getting a sex change. ("Wow, in an hour, that's impressive.") I wanted to laugh heartlessly at daughters who spent a shattered moment thinking their parents were going to divorce next month, when in fact said parents were going to Disney.
Instead, I had to choose between feeling guilty about skipping your way-too-long, totally unnecessary introduction (because I'm the kind of person who ALWAYS feels guilty about skipping the introduction), or plowing dutifully through it and then feeling guilty because I spent the whole time wishing I were just reading your damned book, already.
So: Please keep publishing this kind of book, and I'll keep buying it. And while you're at it, please keep your introductory material to two pages or less. Because -- did I already say this? -- we GET it, already.
Sincerely,
Your Loving But Shallow Reader

I think everyone gets to the stage where sometimes they just need to read something silly to clear out their brain, right? I was in that state when I was in Italy a few months ago, and ended up on damnyouautocorrect.com... So when I saw the book, I couldn't help but want to pick it up. Some of them I was familiar with already, and it is fairly mindless fun, but it is funny. From Freudian slips to surrealism, there's a whole world of badly autocorrected texts in here.
Proooobably not really worth buying, though. Just flick through it in a shop -- or go on the website.

Sometimes I need a quick mind cleanser between reading novels. I don't usually pick up books that are crafted out of websites or technology flaws, and though I read humor essays and memoirs, I don't usually pick up joke books. But this little gem kept me cracking up, literally LOLing with tears falling down my face, for the last couple of weeks. I don't always laugh when I think something is funny - sometimes it's just a nod or a smirk or a mental note to myself that, "hey, that was funny," but this book made me physically hurt from laughing.
The themes are broken into sections, so you can skip around if you are especially interested in subjects that involve parents, breaking up, etc...
This isn't high art, but it's some of my favorite kind of humor - chaotic miscommunication and the way it can absolutely shut down people.
I recommend this when you are looking for a quick cheer-up, when you're home with a cold, or as a gift for your favorite teenager.

All and all it was worth it. I had a few good laughs.

I'll keep this short and sweet ~ most of the texts shown in this book are worthy of a chuckle or two. Maybe about, say, 65%. Give or take. About 20% are so damn funny I cried - numerous times - while reading them. As in, read a hilarious one and cry, stop, read another one, cray again, stop, here we go again, stop. Yeah. I'm for real. Then the other 15% or so didn't even belong.
IMO the hilarious ones, that 20% or so make the book worth getting and reading alone. I have to be honest though - I seriously would not pay $13.99 for it. I got it on my book swapping site, paperbackswap.com which means I paid no more than $3.50 for it - if that.
The texts between children and parents - especially those involving "sex" words are the best. I can't even fathom texting my Dad that "I think I'm getting dick. My throat hurts". I'd die.
This is the most important thing to me though - what makes most of these texts so damn funny isn't the actual auto-correction - it's the other texters ability to go with the flow and find the humor in the words. Some can do that and some can't. If I texted my parents, for example, with the above, it would NOT be funny. If I texted my Uncle Mike on the other hand, with something like that I'd probably literally pee myself because of whatever he'd answer me back.
It's pretty freaking funny but keep your money in your pocket, especially because of the site and app. (Which I've been to about once since I just don't ever remember to check things like that out.)
I'm left wondering though, why don't these funny texts ever happen to me? ;)
**Sidenote - apparently 'texting' and 'texter' aren't in the spellcheck. Huh.**

I like funny autocorrects as much as the next gal, but I don't know, the book just seems like overkill. I can read most (if not all) of these - and more! - for free online, and though I did laugh a few times, there are funnier autocorrects out there.
My fave, though:

Motherducker!!! Autocockblock sucks!
I recommend this to everyone except for children under the age of 15 (because of the foul words; never occurred to me that smart phones are also perv phones!) and people with heart diseases (they might accidentally have a heart attack because of too much laughing!) because all of us need a hearty laugh once in a while!
I think what made this book funny is the fact that it happened and is still happening to people withperv smart phones!
I don't have a smart phone (yeah! I know right! TOTAL loser) but now I'm planning to buy one (SOON!) just to know what it feels like to be autococked corrected!

This book claims these autocorrect disasters are from real people, but I don't buy that. Too many of them seem to be the same person. Same witty comebacks, same grammar, same weird capitalization of the word "phone." I do not deny that some of it was pretty funny... but for the most part it was just repetitious.
The most I can say is that it at least occupied me while my car was being serviced.

Tears pouring down my face I was laughing so hard! I was trying to read my kids some of the more innocent ones, and I couldn't even speak I was laughing so hard! Read this in one sitting... Great for a laugh!!
February 14, 2016
Some of these autocorrects where really funny, and some were just just lame or not funny. Also I wonder, does no one check their texts before sending them? It seems not.
Nice book though. :)

V živote som sa pri žiadnej knihe toľko nenasmial. Fakt super.

I chose this book when I was searching through the humor section and it caught my eye because it did not seem like the typical book you would read in your english class. In the book it contains some explicit language, but that is one of the reasons why I found the book funnier. This was also my kind of book, not really serious, funny, and made you laugh out loud reading.
It is kind of hard to give this book a great summary because it is not like the normal book you may be thinking of. In the book, there is over two hundred screenshots of times when autocorrect really mixed up a conversation. There were nine different categories that they seperated the texts into, including; Parents Just Don’t Understand, Love Gone Wrong, With Friends Like These, etc. In each category it gave real texts that real people had, that for some reason their phone changed what they were trying to type to something completely different. Here would be an example on Page 19: “The grave is open” “What grave????” “Oops garage” You can clearly see from this the person receiving the text with the autocorrect is extremely confused and sends all those questions marks. So here’s a tip, when sending texts on your phone, make sure that you read it before you hit the send button because you never know what your phone could have changed you words to.
Something that I enjoyed about this book was how it was not afraid to cross the boundaries of that most of the books I have read in school over my lifetime. It had no problem showing texts with many swears in it, so I liked I could finally read more of an older type of book. I also, liked that they were not just some guy sitting down and coming up with some random texts, they were real texts that people sent in and were put together to make the book.
A couple things that I did not particularly like from the book was that there was really no writing from the author whatsoever. I thought it would have been kind of cool if every couple chapters or something, the author would stop and give her input and say why she chose some of the texts, but other than that I enjoyed reading it and thought it was a great book for the humor month.

This is one of those books that it is perfect to dip in and out of when you don't have much time but you want something to make you giggle. My friend has a stack of this kind of book in her bathroom for people to flick through.
I'm sure that anyone who has ever used a phone with autocorrect will know the perils of sending a text without reading it first but hopefully most of us will never send messages quite as embarrassing as the ones in this book!
I snorted with laughter several times while reading this and think it is perfect for when you need for a silly gift for someone - I know a few people who'll be getting this from me at Christmas!

Tell me something like this never happened to you? Excerpted from blurb:
Wooohoo--party time! (what, you can't have both? *blinks*)
The phenomenally successful damnyouautocorrect.com began when author Jillian Madison innocently tried to invite some friends over for gelato. Autocorrect, however, had another idea, and asked them over for a night of 'fellatio' instead.
Wooohoo--party time! (what, you can't have both? *blinks*)

What I expect from a humour book is that it'll make me laugh. This one easily outdid itself. It had me in stitches, howling and crying. I actually had to stop reading it because people were giving me funny looks. So don't read this in public ;)
Way too hilarious, best laugh from a book I had in ages - 5 stars.

Can't say I've ever had bad autocorrects like in this book but as I was reading this I kept laughing so hard. Great book to read for a laugh if you're having a bad day or just need some stress relief. And I'll keep on hoping that my autocorrects never turn out like these because I don't know how well I'd be able to save myself if it did.

I read this book when it first came out and was reminded of it today. (A nostalgic trip back in time to 2011...?) My copy was passed along to a like-minded friend afterwards, back in the day, and that was the best thing to do with it. If you're the sort of person who cries actual tears of laughter over these type of errors (and I am, because I'm four years old) it's a good book to share.

Warning: Do not read this book in public! High probability of ugly loud laughs with danger of snorting.
This was so funny!!! I loved! Could read awkward autocorrect fail moments all day and never get tired!
