Is my name Google?

I'm curious... why do you believe I am a multi-billion dollar search engine? Do I look like a search engine? When I speak, does it sound like I'm rattling off information about the last words you spoke?

Then, pray tell, why do you keep coming to me with requests more easily found through Google? We're both at work. We both sit in front of computers all day long. We both have degrees in computer science. I presume you know how to use the internet. It's pretty easy. My grandmother does it.

So I'm confused when you get out of your seat, walk over to my desk, and ask me things like "How many feet in a mile?", "What are the names of New England Patriots wide receivers?", and "What time does Best Buy close?"

These are things that I don't know off the top of my head. Even if I did, a quick entry into Google will get you the answer several orders of magnitude faster than I will. Additionally, I don't have to be bothered by your request. Instead, you will only require the assistance of a tool specifically designed to fill your request.

So, fuck off. K? Thanks. Buh-bye.

hahaha. You hit the proverbial 'nail on the head'. I get so frustrated with redundant stupid questions that could be easily found in 10 secs on google.

A-plus rant!

I actually have guilt if I ask someone something I could have found myself. Personally, I do my best *not* to ask the obvious. On the other hand, there have been a few times where I've asked for help where I haven't been able to find the right key word clue to unlock the answer.

But yeah, don't ask if you haven't taken the two seconds to check for yourself.

Your coworker wanted to talk, not answers. Of course they know about Google; but Google won't ask them how their day is going.

Neither will I. Because they annoyed me with a stupid question.
