No, no, please allow me to google that for you...

At last. Here is a website for all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves. So simple, so perfect, so polite. letmegooglethatforyou.com provides a link to send to your annoying friend or work colleague. Try it. (It's nothing to do with Google, by the way, just some guys messing about. The site is already at the top of Digg and going viral round the world as I write.)

simple. maybe. but polite? I don't think so.

Simply sending a google URL would be a lot more polite......

Saqib, I am the resident tech geek of my student house, and forever am I inundated by my friends asking simple questions that could easily be found out with google. It's infuriating that students don't have the a sense of research or intuitiveness about them. So in response to them, this website is perfect to get across my point sarcastically!

Tested and approved! Works wonders with some lazy but clever guys but it can be a bit too offensive for some whiners, so use it with care.
