I called a colleague called Angus "Anus" and sent an email offering my "Retards" by way of a salutation.

Manda (Mrs Po) tells me she had a defendant called Whitehouse due in court today, about whom she emailed a colleague for information. She typed 's' instead of 'w' in his name.

This was a letter, yes people do still send them.

Secretary at work sent it to ******* Whorehouse Ltd, instead of Warehouse.

Great thing was, the MD rang to say we got the job and said he was from the Whorehouse

Not a typo but a mis-use of capitals.

I helped my mate jack off a horse.

She assists in the sending dahn[q.v.] of chav crims[q.v.].

PMSL at Duane Didley, BTW

She tells me she has a couple of defendants on the books called "Sithead", too.

Last week I wanted the attention of my A-Level group so shouted 'Right then gays...' They haven't let that one go yet I have since cut back on my caffeine intake and stopped using the word 'guys'.

Not a typo but the dangers of spellcheck, I have a colleague Amrit and one version of office would correct to Armpit.
If you're just clicking "change" repeatedly and not really paying attention, off it goes...

whilst working for a property developer, i sent an email to an estate agent saying that we were very pleased with the standard of the development and that if they would like to come a view the 5hite [site], i would be pleased to meet them there.

funnily enough they didn't notice [i asked after one of their clients bought a house from us ]

Not so much a typo error but along those lines . . . I work for the ambulance service and years ago a little old dear rang and eventually managed to say that her husbands ********* had swollen up 'like melons'. Thinking it was perhaps fluid retention after an operation I asked if he'd got any medical history. She said he'd had a stroke sometime ago . . . . .theres me typing away "..********* swollen following a recent stroke" After she rang off I altered my notes to show he was a recent CVA patient - reads so much better

My atrotious spelling meant that spell checker picked up on a word in an email I sent to about 30 people, with regards to as why their expenses were not paid. But, I stupidly clicked the wrong suggestion.

See if you can guess what it is:

..........
....Unfortunately your expenses will be paid one day later due to the this.

Please accept my apologies for any incontinence caused.

Regards

In my early tech support role, I managed to misspell disk - replacing the S with a C.

Please insert disk into slot. . . .
