The Argument Against "You Should've Used Google"

[erocker]

I think sometimes saying "Google it" is completely warranted. Sometimes it is not. Sometimes I like to say "Yahoo it" or "MSN it". You know when someone asks a question sometimes I know it and I give them the answer. Sometimes I don't know the answer and what do I do? I Google it! Sometimes it will take a lot of my time Googling stuff so someone can have their answer. Sometimes people ask questions that could be easily "Googled", but do not due to laziness. People have admitted it here. In that case the person asking the question is just wasting everyone's time and it just comes down to "Look at me, I'm asking a question". In those cases, I just tell them to go Google themselves and stick their MSN up their Yahoo's. But really, I don't mind Googling for others and generally if I find an answer to their question I tell them, all it took was a simple Google search, and perhaps next time they could find the answer faster an their own.

Merry Yahoo to you all!

that, good sir, is one of the funniest posts I've read on TPU over the last couple of months.


And I totally agree with your reasoning as well!
