Worse than a fuck up a wannabe fuck up goes out their way to draw attention to the "fact" that their life is sooooo bad. They tell you all their "problems" which are not really that bad and blame any failure or error on their part on their past. They make public displays of sadness or stupidity and want the world to know how "hard" they have it. They actually want to be victims when they are in reality probably not at all. Some film examples of wannabe fuck ups are Demi Moore in St Elmos Fire, Billy Crudup in Inventing the Abbotts and Clea DuVall in The Faculty.
wannabe fuck ups are much worse than fuck ups, they REALLY piss me off!

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
