Finding an open restaurant on a holiday requires a little effort, but not everyone wants to put in the work.

When one man asked his friend where to eat on New Year’s Day and was told to look it up himself, he worked up an appetite for an argument.

Read on for the full story.

AITA for asking a friend if they’d tried googling to see what restaurants are open on New Years day?

I (35F) have a friend (40M) who lives 30 minutes away from SF.

I live in SF, so he asked me what restaurants are open in the City on New Year’s Day.

I asked him what he was looking for, and his response was, “Food.”

So she asks a seemingly innocent question, but he serves up some serious attitude.

I asked him if he tried googling restaurants, and his response was, “Well, if I did that, I wouldn’t have to ask you, right Okay, so the next time you ask me a question about something, I should just tell you to Google it. Is that a fair statement?”

There are so many restaurants in the City, and I don’t know their hours. If I wanted to eat out today, I would either Google or call to check the holiday hours.

Even if my friend told me he wanted to eat at a specific restaurant, I wouldn’t be sure if the place was open today unless I googled or called to confirm.

But now she’s wondering if she reacted the right way.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think he was trying to make plans with me.

So, AITA for even suggesting that he Google restaurants to see what’s open on New Year’s Day?

Some people want help, and others just want to be catered to.

What did Reddit think?

Maybe her friend didn’t have bad intentions with his question.

But this commenter has a more pessimistic view.

Depending too much on recommendation is a sign of laziness for this user.

Perhaps the friend could have phrased the question differently.

Some people just want answers handed to them on a silver platter.
