Its no great secret that I’ve been having a love affair with Google for quite some time now. Google is great. Everything I could want, but lately… I dunno. That connection we had at the beginning, you know that fierce passion, that flame, well it’s dying out. And lately I’ve been feeling a little under-appreciated.
Like just the other day. I said I wanted to go to a store in Gaithersburg. “Did you mean Montgomery Village?” As if I didn’t have the address right in front of me with Gaithersburg written on it. Like I’m some kind of idiot who wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I mean its not like I was off by a letter or two. And yet Google insisted over and over again until finally I was like FINE! I meant Montgomery Village!!
But I didn’t mean Montgomery Village.
And before I used to think it was cute the way we’d finish each other's sentences. We were so in sync...
Yesterday I was looking for the “percentage of wom-“ and before I could finish Google jumps in with “percentage of women who shave their pubic hair!”
WHAT?!
Where the hell did that come from right? And to make matters worse I was at work. What if someone had walked in? What then?
So, I don’t know what to do. On one hand Google is really smart and helpful. And really when you look at the alternatives, Google is the best choice. On the other hand, I feel like I deserve better. And I don’t know how long I can put up with the condescending tone or these lascivious innuendos of late.
I need advice and I’m tempted to go to my ex to ask what to do.
I know! It’s so wrong… But what can I say?
Yahoo answers.

please don't give Microsoft the gratification of switching to bing!
I googled "percentage of women" and got "in the workforce" as my first choice. Maybe you should stop googling stuff about pubic hair, and it won't come up as your first suggestion!!! Maybe Google knows you better than you think, which is why you feel like the flame is gone.
