Sh#@ Your Phone Says

"Damn You, Autocorrect!"

If you own an iPhone, BlackBerry, Droid, or any smartphone, there's a good chance you've screamed that phrase out at least once. In Damn You, Autocorrect!, pop-culture blogger Jillian Madison shows you are not alone.

Filled with submissions from readers of her popular website, this laugh-out-loud funny book features cringe-worthy exchanges with parents, friends, significant others, and co-workers that contain some of the most unintentionally hilarious--and mortifying--mistakes ever caused by Autocorrect. Inside, you'll find a husband who tells his wife that he just "laid" (paid) the babysitter, a dad who tells his daughter that he and her mom are going to "divorce" (Disney), and many more epic texting fails too raunchy to list here.

Whether you love technology, texting humor, or taking just a little bit of pleasure in the misfortune of others, Damn You, Autocorrect! will leave you laughing until you cry, and thankful that nothing this embarrassing has happened to you. Yet.

Girlfriend Recommends

Don't try to read this book on the sly . . .

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

. . . because you'll totally get busted by your laughter. I purchased the book to cheer up a good friend who is going through a tough time, but couldn't resist reading it myself first. I tried to finish the last few pages at work before passing the book off to my co-worker/friend, but I really struggled not to laugh out inappropriately in the workplace. I purchased several similarly funny books lately, but this is one of the best! If you are looking for something to make you (or a friend) laugh, this one is pure gold!

I tried to pick out a few of my favorites to share here, such as:

"I broke my penis and it exploded all over my pants." (*pen)

"Please tell her I have herpes." (*her pies)

". . . stop leaving the bloody tampon!" (*bloody lamp on)

If you enjoy immature humor as much as I do, I highly recommend you purchase this book. You will definitely LOL! Literally!

Hilarious!

I especially enjoyed reading this aloud to my teenage sons. Great for getting them to roll their eyes, while I laughed until I couldn't breathe. Chocked full of great parenting ideas. I didn't fit any category entirely, but I found some of my techniques were in almost all of the categories. I think it was best to be flexible-even though I didn't know that I was. Highly recommended for parents of tweens and teens who have had enough of their gruff.

Eyes Watering from Laughter... and *Strain*

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this e-book along with a few similar ones, and this is definitely the best of the bunch. It's longer than many others and only has a couple of items that I also saw in other books. And I found most all of the items funny to some degree; Some made me do the little snuffle laugh, others made me do the normal laugh, but at least half of them had me laughing like a loon with tears rolling out of my eyes. The book seemed to get funnier somewhere in the middle. I don't think that's accurate, since it's arranged by categories rather than escalating funniness; I think I just reached the point of self-perpetuating, out-of-control laughter. I've read it twice and it was just as funny the second time.

(As other reviewers have mentioned, a lot of the humor in this book is sexual, anatomical, or otherwise not appropriate for all audiences. So, be aware. But if you have an open and/or dirty mind, you should find plenty to amuse you.)

The layout is fine - no graphics splitting between pages, etc. And the "phone/iPod" graphic on each page is consistent in size and placement, so "Damn You, Autocorrect!..." looks nicer and more professionally produced than some similar books that have a messy mix of different sizes and qualities of pictures.

But... I couldn't give "Damn You, Autocorrect!..." a full five stars because it's just difficult to read (on Kindle Paperwhite). The aforementioned "phone/iPod" graphic takes up about half a Paperwhite page, with conversation in the "screen" part of the graphic. So, the text within ends up being tiny. It's *possible* to read at that size, but requires holding your device quite close and taking frequent eye-rest breaks. I'm unsure about other Kindles, but the Paperwhite doesn't have a great zoom feature (as far as I could determine.) It's *possible* to enlarge a graphic to fullscreen size, but requires either awkward double-taps or a [press-and-hold press-zoom close-zoom-with-X-at-top] thing. Either way is slow and awkward. And you're turning pages quickly, so all the zooming gets old fast!

I considered returning this purchase due to the difficulty of reading and irritation of zooming, especially since it's a pretty high-priced e-book. But it's funny enough that I think I'd regret getting rid of it. I enjoyed it far more than any of the others I checked out. I imagine I'll find it funny for a long time, and I can share it with others who will also.

Funniest book I've read in years

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2011

Verified Purchase

I saw a great web post with the 50 best autocorrect errors that the damnyouautocorrect site has found. It was so funny I was laughing out loud. Literally.

So I bought this book for Kindle and loaded it onto iPad. It was just hilarious! I couldn't put it down. It's a light read but the situations resonate so strongly. This book is aimed where social interaction and technology meet, and the human costs of imperfect machines taking part in the conversation are so clear and funny.

I laughed so long and hard that tears ran from my eyes. When's the last time a book did that to you?

Laughing till it hurts

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

I got this book today when I came home during my lunch break. In the 10 minutes I had to peruse it - and I had already seen much of what I was reading - I guffawed several times. Simply put, the unintended meanings of these typos are some of the most amazing mental images ever put to paper.

This will be on my coffee table for a very long time for guests to laugh over.

Edited a month later: my girlfriend is very concerned about the uncontrolled laughter she hears in the other room when I'm re-reading this thing. It is powerfully funny.

Damn You, Autocorrect!

I haven't laughed this hard since my ex got run over by a honeywagon! By Page 2 I was literally laughing so hard tears were streaming down both cheeks - er, my face - and my roomie had to come see why I was making such odd choking sounds. Jillian Madison has struck pure gold with her idea for collecting these nuggets of testicle...tentacle...dammit! ...TEXTUAL tribulations and I am now a fan for life!
This book is tonally worm every penis! Buy one for yourself and one for each of your fiends. You won't repent it!

Silly fun and light and no harm done to Apple

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a book for the NC 17 set or more liberal minded thinkers of us as there's plenty of profanity and sexual innuendo involved. It's fun stuff to pass around after a few cocktails at a party for kicks and giggles because plenty of misunderstanding can occur beyond that which has already been established by iPhone's foolish autocorrections. I found that many of the funniest jokes were unfortunately given away online during the course of previewing the sample thus purchasing the full version turned out to be a waste of few dollars for the most part. Nonetheless I find that I still pull the book out with friends for laughs now and again when the conversation goes stale and we all need a good laugh over something really stupid that doesn't pertain to anything personal. It's harmless fun.

Good gift

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as a gift.

I struggle to laugh at most of these sorts of things - having seen my fair share of them online, and suspecting most of them to be fake - but I often see my boyfriend laughing at autocorrect fails so I thought he'd probably like this book. It was a hit - every so often he will pick it up and have a flick through, sometimes laughing out loud, and sometimes reading out a particularly funny entry to me.

I have given 4 stars because he really likes it, but if you've already seen a lot of these on the internet you might not enjoy it so much.

A grim reminder that AI is not always so intelligent or even polite. Those who text with autocorrect may want to reconsider using your own fingers lest someone may misconstrue your hunkering for ice cream belongs on a xxx site.
