I am not your Siri: extremely trivial peeve

[Lentilweaver]

This is very, very trivial. But I wondered if anybody else is annoyed by people treating them like a Siri ( outside of work where I would do more)
Example: Friend says: got any West End shows to recommend?
I say: Oh go see Tina ( or X or Y)
Friend says: Oh where is it showing? What time? How much are the tickets? Can you send me a link?
Instead of looking it up herself.

Or today journalist friend says: Do you know anyone I can talk to about this subject?
How about X, I say? X is an expert in the field with a website and social media presence.
Friend says : Can you send me her email?

Shouldn't people do their own Googling? DH also does this but I tell him to do his own Googling straight off.

DH is like this. It sometimes takes all my self-control not to send him that ‘Let me Google that for you’ site. See also forms, applications, online purchases - anything he perceives as ‘technical’ and therefore ‘complex’. But like you OP I’ve increasingly just been telling him to look things up for himself.

Trivial but so annoying, right? It's almost like these people think your time is less valuable than theirs. I have stopped suggesting anything to a few people now. So if they ask me " Read any good books lately?" I will be like "Nope" because otherwise they will ask me to send them the Amazon listing.

Somewhat similar, my friend will go see a film for example and say it was good; I ask what it was about and she will send me a link to the trailer

Thanks, I could have done that myself

My DH does this. "What's the phone number for X?" As if I'm going to just know this off the top of my head? Just Google it, exactly like I will need to in order to tell you.

Really strange! Is it laziness?

Had a friend who would ask me to help plan her journey so she could go out for the day with her other friends it was baffling ask THEM your going with THEM I haven't even been INVITED FFS

"Anyone got the phone number for xxx doctors?" Often seen on Facebook. In the time it took them to post that status they could have Googled the number!

I find this a lot. I do not have a computer at home . Only at work. I don't work everyday. Most of my friends no longer work and all have computers but I am often asked to look things up!
