Not talking about your 80 year old grandma asking about how to plug in the Blu Ray player. I mean basic stuff like texting you "hey, do you know the capitol of Florida?"

Yes.


But sometimes I realize they just do it to make conversation, and I have to forgive them. But it still annoys.

No. I'm not looking for everyone I know to be siloed off into their own AI informed universe.
Ask and maybe I get to think of something I don't know and then learn together.

I only get annoyed if the person doesn't listen when I answer or they ask the same question at a later date. I despise repeating myself.

At worst I'll joke and say something like "Since when does my license say Google on it?" But then I still answer

We had a new manager start and I was training her on closing procedures, which includes counting the registers at the end of the night. They have $200 to start, and you pull whatever you have that’s over that, regardless of what it says you’re supposed to have. She couldn’t grasp that concept and would ask me every single night “do I take the difference between what I have and the $200, or what the paperwork says?” I trained her a total of 15 nights because she couldn’t grasp it, and when she started closing by herself, she still called me every night to ask the same stupid fucking question. I really tried to be nice, but I got to the point I just said “didn’t you ask me this last time?”
Thank goodness she was transferred out.

Oh I used to get annoyed by that but now I'm the exact opposite. Now I prefer to ask people what could be googled because...."back in my day" we didn't have google and more times than not, if you ask someone a question, you not only get the answer google would give, but you can also get additional added context and other interesting tidbits of information google wouldn't even know to share.

There are better examples but to give you an idea, maybe there are certain tv's that have certain features or lack certain features, and google wouldn't tell you that unless you specifically asked, which you wouldn't specifically know what to ask.

Better examples are old school boxers. For example I'm a member of an awesome historic boxing fan page on facebook and there's a lot of stories about old school boxers that google wouldn't bring up unless you searched for keywords, words that you wouldn't expect to know unless you already knew.

This is good practice, unless it's my girlfriend or ex wife, both of whom can leave me alone and Google it!

I am far more sick of telling the younger kids what the need to do and having them say, "for sure" and then not do it in anyway close to what I have asked or trained them to do.

depends. when my old ass parents ask me stuff, even though I bitch and complain, still would find the answer to their question in the end.

someone around my age asked me, I ignore them
