Autocorrect Nightmares #6

by

A text conversation between an employee and his boss...

Employee: Sorry, boss. I'll be a bit late. There was an accident on the freeway and traffic is at a standstill.

Boss: You're fired.

Employee: WHAT?!! I know I'm late quite frequently but this isn't my fault! You know what? You can take that lousy job, roll it up real tight, and shove it up your fat ass, you balding sack of shit!

Boss: That was supposed to be "You're fine," but you know what? Let's leave it as it stands.

Employee: Hey, I was only kidding.

Employee: Boss?

Employee: Boss?

    I'm having to revisit an old series to get inspiration for new drabbles. Some more oldies may pop up before this drought is over.

    Hehe! This is a great series Christopher. The concept lends itself to a host of miscommunication... and you get the satisfaction of giving two fingers to autobloodycorrect!

    Thanks, Neville. I haven't had much inspiration lately.

    Me too! But we’ve just got back from a tough week’s holiday (a long story!) and the weather has improved markedly, as has my enthusiasm (which is normally my greatest asset).

    I'm sure there are some drabbles in that tough week's holiday!

    There certainly are. My last ‘Fishy...’ drabble was one such. And on Friday, the morning we left, this most beautiful, classy resort, famous for wonderful crabs, which we love, had a final sting in its tail. That will be my next, of a short series to cauterise my wounds!

    This does strike a chord with me Christopher ;-) Though I'm more likely to put my foot in it with colleagues than management.
