You have no idea. I once did an open source library that became somewhat popular and shit like that made me give it away to a consulting company that will happily attach a quote to the bullshit requests.

As in my case it was a library I also got the university students demanding I do their homework for them, which is another delightful group.

Unfortunately, college kids are still very much kids, even if they're over 18. Which means a lot of them are dicks.
