This was not a typo as I was writing but...I used to do casework for a US Senator. On my first day, I accidentally inverted two of the numbers in our 800 number. I gave this number out for over two weeks until a constituent called our direct line to let me know I was giving out a number that directed people to a phone sex service.
I was texting with a coworker about somethign work related one evening. About 20min later I went upstairs and texted my husband who was out with friends but supposed to get home any minute "Getting in Shower", so he would know where I was when he got home. When I got out of the shower I looked at my phone, and I had sent that to my coworker instead. Yeah. I about died. Luckily coworker just thought it was hilarious and didn't think I was randomly trying to be sexy lol
The bakery that my bosses own once sold "Pasties" according to their bright orange mobile coffee bus.
This might not have been an error. "Pasties" are a type of pocket pie common in the U.K. and Australia... and I've been seeing them increasingly here in the U.S. in the last few years. So if the bakery sold these:

MH and a coworker are listed next to each other in my phone. CW and I were sitting next to each other at a conference and I meant to text "I love you" to MH, but I sent it to her instead. She made a terrible face and I had a case of the church giggles for like 20 minutes.

I sent an email via phone a while back referring to one of our undergraduate workers, Heather. Except my phone auto-corrected to Heavier. And unfortunately for me (and her), she's a bigger girl.
I didn't know it until my prof pointed it out - and she was CC'd on everything. So humiliating.

I'd vote not a typo.
If they didn't, then HA!
Also very popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

OOOOH. This is bad, and totally reminded me of another one. In another department here is a Filipino woman named "Salve" (pronounced "Sal-vay"). One day my coworkers and I received an email from Salve's manager explaining some changes in responsibilities in their department, and she wrote, "From now on, note that Slave will be handling this..." Oops.

A few years back my grandpa and I were driving past a bakery who advertised pasties on their sign. He got such a big kick out of it and was laughing SO hard (thinking they had meant to put 'pastries'), I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't a mistake.

When I was doing my residency a patient came in with a black eye. He said he had gotten in a fight with his wife and she smacked him in the face with a broomstick. I typed in the chart:
My most embarrassing one was a case where it WASN'T auto-correct. I have a friend who is gay who posted a picture of what he made for dinner on Facebook. One of his neighbors posted, "That looks so good, if I weren't so tired, I would put on a pair of condoms and walk over." I posted "LOL. Autocorrect?" because I really thought he meant to say he would put on a pair of converse or something like that. Nope. Wasn't auto correct. The guy really meant to say he would throw on a pair of condoms, as in double bagging it. It kicked off a HUGE shitstorm with my friend's friends because apparently assuming nobody would walk over to someone's house for dinner with a pair of condoms on makes me homophobic. My friend did his best to defend me but it was a mess.
Seriously, gay or straight, why would ANYONE go walking through the neighborhood with a pair of condoms on?
I received an email once about some kind of change in plans for a meeting or something and at the end the sender wrote sorry for the incontinence instead of inconvenience. I loled for real.

I was going to say they are a big hit in NE WI as well. A coworker always brings them in when she goes up to her Northwoods cabin.

You guys are kind to think they were referring to actual baked goods, but we're in the South, where Pasties are nipple covers, and Pastries are something you eat. It was especially funny, because the name of the company I work for is often mispronounced so that it reflects the name of an adult night club in our area instead of our business's ACTUAL name.
