Adventures in Swype

It’s been about a year or so that I got my phone that is ‘smart’.  It’s been less than a year that I have “Swype”.  If you don’t have swype, a quick explanation: You run your finger over the word you want to type and it magically types what you were thinking. It’s magic…it’s fucking magic.

I don’t mind so much when it changes ‘and’ to ‘nad’ or ‘so’ to ‘do’.  Most people get it and move on with the conversation.

There are only three circumstances in which a swype fuck up sucks: in a text fight or when it just decides to change the whole freaking sentence on you and the worst; when it makes you look perverted (as seen on DYAC on a daily basis…you don’t think it will happen to you UNTIL IT DOES)

1.  THE FIGHT: In a heated conversation with my boyfriend I stated, “I’m done with this conversation!” and I was DONE WITH THE CONVERSATION. I was NOT happy and about to say some things I would surly regret when I wasn’t so pissed off.  Instead I was going to take the high road and end the conversation with “I will see you in the morning”  EXCEPT swype changed ‘see’ to ‘sewer’.
I was winning that debate until SWYPE made me look like a jackass.

2. CHANGING THE SENTENCE: In another conversation with my boyfriend and we were working out our plans for the evening.
“I have the field gunfight.”  and I hit send without reading because it’s been a good long time since Swype  has decided to dick me around.
I looked back down at the phone and reread what I just sent.  Yeah, no field gunfights, better resend that one:   “I have the GIRLS TONIGHT.”
He thought the field gunfight would be more fun.

3. PERVERTED:  In another recent conversation with my boyfriend: “Hey baby! I sold another one of your dick straps!”
Yeahhhhhhhh…meant DUCK STRAPS.
and that started a whoooooole other conversation.

Sometimes I wonder why he puts up with me and then I remember that I send some very flavorful texts (and sometimes I don’t even mean to!)   :)

Oh, and I make him laugh…
