I’m Not Your Personal Google Search

This afternoon, on my way home from work I received a call from a number I did not recognize. I did not answer thinking it was a wrong number. I checked my phone a couple of minutes later to see if anyone left a voice mail. To my surprise there was one long question via text message.

Characters…
Shithead: Person asking the question.
Doo Doo head: Shithead’s friend

57 Wasted Words…
“Hey jacob this is Shithead. I’m wanting to get a laptop for me n my kids but Doo Doo head was saying i needed to wait til the new windows was out, but doo doo head couldn’t remember what windows. Something she saw them talking about on Headline news. Any idea what she’s talking about n when it’s gonna be out?”

You called and also decided to write this long ass text message that included 57 words, when you could have googled. People are so freaking lazy. Do I look like a search engine? Do I have a button that says, “I’m feeling lucky”. Wait, don’t answer that one. I probably do have that button, but that’s between my wife and me.

Working through the stupidity…

If you go to bestbuy.com and look at the front page this is what you see: two ads with the words” Windows 7″ and then the launch date.

Also, the shithead ,that asked the question, used two key words “new windows”. Let’s see what happens when you put “new windows” into google.

Last Warning…
You know before you go off and bother someone after work you should check with Google first. I get tons of phone calls per day doing my job. Hell, I used nearly 2000 minutes last month making tech support calls and helping computer technicians that work for our company.

If you don’t know how to google something. Here is a hint… and a yahoo question screen shot.
