what's more annoying on Y.A.?

What do you find more annoying on Yahoo Answers, people asking question that are clearly their school work (effectively asking we the YA community to do the work they should be doing) or polemic non-questions (an opinion\rant couched as a question)?

Update:

To Sofiya D: at first blush it may seem so, but I honestly want(ed) feed back on both phenoms, I know my observations aren't absolute. So I'd like to know occasionally if I'm being over sensitive or if other folks have noticed things...

    Opinion/rant couched as questions most definitely.

    I don't really have a problem with school kids...they're still taking their time to make an effort of getting the answer and hopefully see how someone else gets to that answer.

    "Polemic non-questions" can get a bit annoying if it's on a stupid topic, but you can't really complain on that one considering that's what you're doing right now...according to your definition anyway.

    I really get annoyed with people who try to use Y!A as a way of getting others to do their schoolwork! I find this a lot in the Languages section, and on many occasions I've told these people to do their own work.

    I do sometimes find the homework questions a bit annoying; but I like to think that they are genuine kids trying to get some help!

    Maybe I am gullible...!
