People who say things like "You owe it to yourself to..."
What a meaningless load of drivel.

I like that phrase, I always thinks it means you should be as commited to your dreams as you are to helping others.

"Come on Batman, you owe it to yourself..." Yes, you're right, Sooty!
Have you ever wondered if Batman would be a better crime fighter, if Bruce Wayne would allow himself one evening to make a diorama of airfix models.

I've been plagued by it since I left university. I didn't know about it until then. I was hired on a freelance basis by a company called something and Deloitte under the pretext I would be writing 'sample' papers for academic use (so, this is an example of what a 'first' would be, etc.) As soon as I accepted the post it was obvious all the emails I was getting were from students looking to pay for someone to do their work - and £50 is about average for a 3,000-word academic essay (or it was then). I looked it up at the time because I was surprised the company was still going. Turned out it's not illegal to sell academic work to a 'brief' given by a student, it's only unethical.
I get a serious number of students inviting me to do their degrees for them for payment, though. I wonder how many people get away with it.
After all these years, I still get pissed off about it and never tire of sending the rudest possible emails in return :-)
Take the fifty sovs and plagiarise the essay from a standard reference work. You get paid for doing no real work and they get sent down. It's win-win.

James Buckley and his delusion that it's 1964/1994. He's actually managed to topple Vernon Kay from his position as Biggest Britpop Throwback.
It pisses me off that people have sofas which don't point at the TV, so you have to crick your neck watching it. What are you supposed to do when you're sitting in these sofas; talk to each other?
People who, in the dark, park facing the oncoming traffic and leave their headlights on.
