Adults who can't just "Figure It Out" are annoying

t-dot till they bury me
I am talking about the ones who need help with EVERYTHING. Grown ass adults who don't have the common sense to do simple 3 second Google searches.



You: "Call the Airline for help with that."
Them: "Can you text me the number?"
:stopitslime:



You: "Meet us at XYZ."
Them: "I don't know how to get there, can you pick me up?"
:stopitslime:



You: "Yeah you can get it at any [store name] around."
Them: "Do you know which one?"
:stopitslime:
Those are not adults, friend

100%

I was going through this a few weeks ago with a coworker, he was hitting me up on Teams for every little thing, after about 2 weeks I realized this guy wasn't "the new guy who needs help" anymore, he's just slow and needs his hand held through everything. I stopped replying eventually, and one day told him straight up to "figure it out, it's right in front of you."

I'm talking about basic stuff, like documents that come with instructions, "(insert # here), (insert name here), (insert title here)"

And this fool was hitting me up for this nonsense. Wild stuff.

"Can't you just Google it" is one of the reasons why depression is on the rise.

Most people do just Google things and handle things on their own. The result is reduced familiarity.

I find this very frustrating, I have a female friend who does this shyt constantly. It comes from entitlement and constantly being coddled by the people around her, and I’m not the one for it. I’m your friend, not your executive assistant.
