Funny typos you have seen

[SQLSister]

Today I was IMing a co-worker about an issue, he told me he'd get back to me after lunch. I meant to reply:
I'm off to lunch myself.
I actually typed:
I'm off to lynch myself.

Reminds me of the corporate holiday greeting card I received several years ago (one of about 8,000 cards sent out without careful proof reading:

May you have a Happy and Enjoyable Holiday Season.

Steve Edwards
Pubic Relations Department

I wondered what kind of résumé someone needed for a job in that department.

A local optician, under new management, has a large, professionally produced sign in their window "Formally XXX Opticians"

A colleague did ask their receptionist if that was how she should write to them, she got a completely blank look.

...Then there is the time that the guy at work had a stack of pages to photocopy, so he dropped the pages in the auto-feeder and pressed the [Start] button. Part-way through the job, the copier quit because he had not noticed that he had left a pen between two of the pages. The pen jammed the copier, and he could not fix it.

So no one else would try to use the copier until the technician arrived, he left the self-explanatory note...

DO NOT USE COPIER
PEN IS JAMMED
IN SHEET FEEDER

Problem was that he left no room between the "N" and the "I", so people started demanding that the copier be disinfected along with its being repaired.

I may well have recounted this before, but an ex-colleague once wrote an email to our then boss complaining that his hard dick was malfunctioning. And this in the days before Niagra ;-)

In high school, my freshman typing teacher had a list of needed supplies on the chalk board, which included 1 floppy disk. Only she spelled disk with a "C" instead of an "S".

Not a typo but this ad definitely needed some clarification.

Someone advertised for "strippers wanted" and only included a phone number. The phone number was called frequently by exotic dancers but the "stripper" position was actually posted by a company doing furniture restoration, specializing in furniture that had been painted.

Hi,
I once received a form that asked for a persons 'disability' ( I worked at the time for a civil rights agency that investigated disability discrimination in employment), and the complainant listed
'Soft Disk',
but a typo turned that into a condition needing that purple pill to fix...

My work's newsletter once had an article titled Rape Advocacy Volunteers Needed. I imagine they're looking for volunteers because there is such a low number of people advocating it?

 

[ESquared]

It's just a missing word: Rape Victim Advocacy Volunteers Needed!

Heh.

So they would be looking for volunteers to advocate rape victims?
