I Hate Autocorrect

Even though I divorced autocorrect, it still apparently has visitation rights and like many exes, it chooses to make its presence known via broad sarcasm.

If I typo 'me too' as 'metoo' it offers these: me-too, meto, metoo.

And it wonders why I left.

Hmmm?

Isn't Meto that guy in Texas who ran against Ted Cruz?
@Heartlander Silly. He lost. Unless he's having an affair with a llama and it gets found out, he will run again.

@Mamapolo2016 I think there are a few llama farms in the Valley :) But even so, he'll be back.
@Heartlander @Mamapolo2016 🙂 Comments on the story are even more interesting stories inside a story.
Thank you both for the chuckles.

Yep, like those automated phone systems that give you a list of choices and when you don't respond right away it assumes you are stupid and gives you an option for help. I don't want help, I just want to talk to a HUMAN. I don't need a phone system with an attitude.
@lasergraph It drives me over the edge when I patiently and faithfully answer 20 'screening' questions and then it hangs up on me or we circle back to where I came in.

Also, most caught on to frustrated users trying to bypass the trauma by pressing 0 and ( wailing) it doesn't work anymore. That snippy electronic voice says, "I'm sorry. You have selected an invalid option. Whaddya, DEAF?"

@lasergraph Notice how those automatic phone systems never have an option that says: "If you want to close your account, press ... , or say 'close my account' ".
@Heartlander 'Zactly. And most often, that kind of motivation is often why I'm calling.

Sounds like you have recovered already. 🤗

Turn off the dictionary.
@ABCDEF7 I can only remember accurately things that happened in the last week or decades before - head injury. Since you're too young to be an old friend, the 'memberin' is on you.

@Mamapolo2016 I had the same profile name on EP also, maybe we were friends there. Even if we can't remember we can be friends now. :)
@ABCDEF7 Yes, we can. 😊.
