One day Musin draws my attention to how easy it is for a simple typo to completely ruin an entire conversation. Boy I tell you, SINCE THAT DAY, I have seen PLENTY people get RBT, myself included.
It’s a pretty simple concept. With millions of people using gchat, text message, aim, email, etc. a conversation can go from good to bad with one unintended stroke of an incorrect key. Sometimes it is so small you wont even know until the person replies, notifying you of your immediate downfall due to being RBT.
Don’t believe me?
1. Imagine sending an email that has been RBT to your boss. Something like the e-mail Musin sent his boss. Oh, what e-mail? This one…(Don’t kill me for this Musin but I could NOT let this one get swept under the rug.)
Hey (Insert name of Musin’s boss),
I just received an e-mail from a client who would like to change their program from standard to custom. Where do I go to ass the new changes?
RBT! Writing ASS to your boss instead of ADD can and WILL ruin you!
2. My ruining moment:
Clev: oh Musin, what a mess
so I tried to get into the club, but Rebecca wasn’t there
But dan was there, the dancer
Musin: Dan the dancer?
Wtf
Lol
Clev: I mean, the bouncer
lmao, ruined by typo
Musin: Clearrrrrrrly
Story done
3. Here’s one that happened an HOUR ago:
Girl: This man doesnt give up.
He should be looking for Obama
I mean Osama
lol
Clev:: OH NO
Girl: rbt!
Clev: RBT
(She just effed up Obama’s entire campaign with one typo. SMH.)
4. Let me introduce you to another recent victim and one of the WORST ones I’ve seen.
So, there’s this guy that I’m certain is gay (not that I believe there is anything wrong with this). But according to him, he’s straight, loves women, thinks they are hot, wants to do them, blah, blah, blah, you follow? Good.
He (we’ll call him John) has the following conversation via gchat:
Innocent Bystander: Stop being jaded by her (his ex-girlfriend) ..You’re tainted and you’re going to give the next girl a really hard time.
John: Not tainted…You are right I just need to focus on myself…I still want a wife and kids…I just need to focus on men
John: oops, *me
##########
Ohhhhhhh noooooooo. Too late buddy. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. YOU ARE RUINED. Ummm are you really trying to hit me with a [ *me ]. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. You’re fuckin’ done son!
(It doesn’t help that a few days later a gay man tried to hit on him in the club. Hmmmmmm. That is all.)
So please be careful out there folks. A typo will ruin you.

LMAO! Finally a blog that speaks to me! I’ve always thought that RBT would ruin people. Now, if the theory is correct, and people usually unintentionally type what’s on their mind, then dear I say that instead of focusing on work, Musin was thinking about getting some ass? Hhmmm…
False!
Now, I would like to draw everyones attention to the standard QWERTY keyboard we have all grown accustomed to loving.
Now, please make not of the [extremely] close proximity in which the “s” and “d” letters rest.
Now, when at work and typing about something I am confident about it’s just like Raising the Roof. I am a vigorous typer, yes I am. I guess when typing this email my furious rapid-fire-esque keyboard attack led to my immediate downfall/embarrassment.
That is all.
First off, I read this in class, attempting to hold in my laughter and ended up burying my head in my laptop just to poorly cover up my snickers. NOT COOL! (Musin forgot to tell me that the hilariosity wattage is out the roof…) (not to worry though. its not as high as he was raising the roof this past Sunday) but uh yea, RBT is the story of my life! But Im glad I dont communicate with my boss via email. Tough one to overcome there eh?
Musin: Fair enough. Feel free to ring my solicitors about a possible slander suit.
OH Man!
You have NO idea. Too bad I didn’t even notice the blunder. I was 100 percent certain that there were NO mis-fires during my keyboard blitz.
I wish! The reply from my boss went a little something like this:
Musin,
I am not certain you should be using such inappropriate language within a company email. With that said, You’re fired…unless of course you were RBT. If so, then that sh*t is fuc*in Hilarious!
What is the status on the new implementation?
Sincerely,
Boss.
PAH! If there was ever a time to say that was a lie, THIS IS IT! The first sentence or so was correct but then I just got carried away…far away.
*End of comical tirade.*
P.s. I did however just “BOO!!” my boos. Literally, she was supposed to let me know something, she didn’t tell me, so I blurted a crisp “BOO!!” across the office to her as she walked to her desk. We have good times here folks, good times! Also, me & my boss are cool for those wondering how I still have a job.
RBT!!! RBT!!
Prime example from Musin above:
“I did however just “Boo!!” my boos.”
Think about it.
Hahaha, great job there spotting that Clev! As for you Musin, lay off the fast typing for the rest of the day.
Harrumph!
RBT is right. shite!
…move along folks…nothing else to see here…scram!
RBT is a plague sweeping our communities…lmao!
Great blog!
