Elegant way to ask a question below
Here's the sentence: "Hate the hassle of calling numbers found in the internet?"

This is supposed to be a rhetorical question. I mean a situation where you want to find e.g. a plumber, but you have no idea where to get one. So you google "plumbers in London" (or your area), but then it takes so much time and effort to find one that is available / picks up the phone / is experienced. So I wonder how the sentence should sound, so that it's clear.

There are more sentences following this question that explain you can do it better / simpler etc. So there's no need to explain all this plumber situation. I just want to ask the question correctly :-)

Answer

I think your sentence is fine, but you should say 'on the internet', not 'in the internet'.  Hope this helps!

Answer

I agree with Colleen.  I knew exactly what you meant before you explained because I have gone through that exact thing and it is a HUGE hassle!
