It really bothers me that in this day and age, with all of our technology, people still ask stupid questions. Questions that can be answered with the click of a few keys. I think it boils down to pure laziness. I mean I’m the king of loafing, but it really isn’t that strenuous of a task to type a couple keywords in a box and click search.

You literally can find the answer to an question with Google. You can get directions. The answer to a math problem. You can order a Russian mail order bride. Even see what Michael Jackson looked like before he turned himself into this:

Holy shit that is disturbing. Ok scroll down so it doesn’t distract you. It looks like he is looking into my soul (Either that or my bedroom window). Oh God… I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Everyone always asks me questions thinking I am some kind of know-it-all. Well … I am, but seriously it gets really annoying. Anytime I don’t know the answer, I Google it.

Every time someone asks me a question and I tell them to “Google it!” They looks at me like I just asked them to disassemble the space shuttle. It’s not a complicated system. You type what you want to find out in a little box and click search. Then it takes you to millions of pages with the answer to your question.

When people get errors on their computer or have a computer problem they always call on me to “save the day”. All I ever do is Google the error and I find a bunch of poor saps that had the same exact problem and usually a solution on how to fix it. The reply I always get though is…

“I’d do it, I just don’t know what to search for.”

Translation:
“I’m to damn lazy and I would rather be sitting on my ass while I watch you fix it for me.”

You don’t know what to search for? You search for what you are looking to find the answer to. If you are using Windows XP and you get a Stop 0×000000C2 Error. Type in Google “XP Stop 0×000000C2 Error.”

“I don’t want to read all of these pages. There are so many pages and everyone tells me to do something different.”

Well I don’t want to read them either…damn you! There are probably a bunch of solutions to your problem. (Besides your mental problem… for which there is only one solution. Suicide.) You try them all until your problem is fixed. It’s called “Troubleshooting.” Google that shit… it exists.
