In a group chat about horror movies, a guy was typing about the 'eerie silence' in a particular scene. However, autocorrect had other plans and turned it into 'eerie since'. It completely disrupted the flow of his description. Others in the group were waiting for him to continue with the spooky details but had to wait while he corrected the autocorrect mistake. This shows how autocorrect can be a hindrance when trying to share horror - related content as it often changes important words that create the atmosphere.
One horror story is when someone texted 'I'm at the cemetery' but autocorrect changed it to 'I'm at the celery'. It completely changed the spooky mood and made the recipient very confused. They had to clarify multiple times.
One time I was texting my boss about an important meeting. I meant to type 'I'll be there on time'. But autocorrect changed it to 'I'll be there on thyme'. My boss was so confused and it was really embarrassing.
I texted my mom saying 'I'm coming home soon'. Autocorrect made it 'I'm cumming home soon'. I was so horrified when I realized what it said. I quickly sent another text to correct it.
Once, I received a text from an unknown number. It simply said, 'I'm watching you through the window.' I was alone at home and my curtains were closed. I nervously peeked through the curtain but saw nothing. Then, the texts kept coming. 'You can't hide forever.' I blocked the number but the feeling of being watched lingered.
There was a guy who received a text that just had a picture of his own bedroom window from the outside at night. The text said 'Soon.' He was really freaked out. As days passed, he would get more texts with pictures of him in different parts of his house that he hadn't noticed anyone taking. It was a very creepy experience.
One story is about a girl who kept getting text messages from an unknown number. The texts said 'I'm watching you sleep'. Every night, at exactly 3 am, the messages would come. She was so scared that she changed her number, but the new number started getting the same texts.
The anonymity. When you don't know who is sending those scary texts, it's really terrifying. Just like in the story where the girl got texts from an unknown number, not knowing who was behind it made it so much scarier.
The unknown sender. When you don't know who is sending those terrifying messages, it adds a lot of mystery and fear. It could be anyone or anything.
Well, I have a story. My mom texted me 'I put my phone in the fridge by mistake. I thought it was my sandwich!' It was really silly. And once, my neighbor texted 'I chased a squirrel out of my yard and it ran up a tree and then stared at me like it won.' These text message stories are just the little comical moments in our daily lives that we can share and laugh about.
There was a time when a coworker texted 'I fell asleep at my desk and when I woke up, I had typed a bunch of random letters on my computer. I think I was dreaming about typing code.' This was really funny as I could picture him waking up to a mess of letters on his screen. Another story is when a friend texted 'I put salt in my coffee instead of sugar. Yuck!' These are the kinds of stories that stick in your mind because of their humor.
