Beware the predictive text

So picture the scene. I'm sat in the office yesterday, minding my own business and trying not to get too stressed about the horrors of managing a presenter in one European country linking to commentators in another European country all in the name of football coverage.

Then my phone bleeps and the following message appears onscreen:

All kinds of horrors went through my head at that point, especially given that the sender was a good female friend of mine. Then the context hit me. They had been banging on all day about finally creating themselves a MySpace account and were now on the lookout for "friends". The key combination for "add" is indeed the same as "bed" so the possibility did exist that they had merely not noticed the predictive text getting it wrong.

I mean it is easily done. There isn't a man alive who hasn't at once time or another told a girl he wants them to puck his anal, or told his friend that he is an aunt, but the example above was the first time I've ever had an innocent requent turn into something rather more filthy.
