I have read some of the "damn you autocorrect" texts in the past. They are so funny sometimes that it splits my sides laughing. But, I have wondered how many of them were real.

Well...

I had an incident with facebook messenger that made me a believer.

I had a conversation with one of the members of this forum. Then, a couple of days later, I hear tones on my phone while in my pocket. I look at it and see a smiley face emoji was sent to this person. A quick "sorry, pocket dialing" was then sent.

Later, I took a closer look at what was really sent.

Sent a "red heart" emoji followed by two large smiley's!

What are the f***ing odds of those keystrokes going together and being sent in individual messages? Damn!

At least he responded with a "haha, nice" and not "wtf".

That is not the only pocket dial incident that I have had. I once had a conversation with another forum member about a particular investment that we were looking at together. Afterward, I was driving in my car with my two dogs and talking baby/doggy talk with them. I looked down at my phone and I had pocket dialed the investor. A few days later I apologized and told him that I was talking to my dogs. He laughed and changed the subject.

Seems like I need a better system....:)

Thanks for being good sports Kyle and Imran. I can't remember your forum names to tag you.

What kind of phone are you using?

I don't imagine it would happen often if you have a passcode ;)

It is an S5. You are right. A simple fast code would fix this. I don't like extra steps and my wife jokes with me frequently about things like this. "If only there was a way to......."

iPhone has had an issue lately with "ghost pressing". It's getting very disconcerting to see an invisible finger that's opening up apps and pressing things.

lol @SteveO

Something similar happened to me just recently -


I met a pretty big 'influencer' a few weeks ago and we exchanged numbers to discuss some business ideas.

He sent me a text a few days later that said "Good Morning" and that he was on his way to a meeting and would call me afterward.

I thought I replied "Good Morning", and then pressed send.

When I looked at it right after I sent it, it said "Good Moron"

OMG, ha.


I frantically looked for some kind of button on my phone that would recall, stop, retrieve, abort, abolish text messages, to no avail…lol.

Needless to say I apologized. They guy said "Yeah, I was wondering what made you call me a moron!"

My wife sent me a message saying "Tarantula is comming over".
I asked her "Why are you sending me a spider?"
And she said: "This should have been Tatjana."
