Actually for me this misses the point, sure you may annoy the
above two classes of people, but the important thing is that
you are being very unfair to the student in this case, since
it is very damaging for students to get in the habit of letting
others do their work. They may not realize it at the time, but
later on, they will regret it, and it is not a good idea to be
an accomplice in this sequence of events :-)
That being said, you can often suggest something that will help
the student help themselves, and then everyone wins.
