I am tolerant of many things -- some things -- okay at least two things.
But people who don't Google things that obviously can be Googled and instead come to me like the Oracle of fuckin Delphi or something, without even the common goddamned courtesy to bring be a donut or something, are not one of them.
I remember libraries, card catalogs, microfiche. I delight in a world where, if I want to research a topic, I just type a thing in a thing and I am hit with more information about it than I could ever want. Just now I found, in seconds, a judicial ruling on a given matter that's in the news these days.
So yeah, I'm with you that there is no excuse for being too lazy to Google. It's something people wouldn't have even had a concept of 50 years ago: besides wondering why we call this magical information library "Google" of all things, they'd be astonished that people considered it too much work. They simply wouldn't have a word for it; so they'd probably consult Google to find one, only to discover that there simply isn't one.
