mean_photoshopOh boy, The Internet’s can be so mean to people.

Have you ever experienced this situation: you ask a serious question in an online forum and all you get is answers like:

“Look it up on Google”
“See other threads”
“I have had that same question and never found an answer!”
“That is a stupid question!”

Stuff like that can really ruin your day.

The picture on the right here is a screenshot from a forum where this particular situation plays out in a hilarious way. I couldn’t help but feel really sorry for the person making the first request.

But the creative answers were just too damned funny. Enjoy!
