Tentacruel Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 So my team members for my school project pretty much bailed on me. One I haven't seen or heard from since the first class. The other left on a cruise and won't have internet or phone access. He get's back the day before the project is due. Well, I guess I'll just get an A without them. Discuss times you couldn't rely on people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Team project with one other person. Make a posterboard about an element (pyrite in our case). We decided to leave it to him to put the information we found together on the poster I got. He kept forgetting to bring the project for a week. On top of that, he printed out the webpages and stapled them to the posterboard. We lost points for badly plagiarizing. He lost points for bringing the project late.

ragnarok1945 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Happened all the time during my elementary, middle, and high school projects Typical situation: I'm in a group with 7 people I do 45% of the work, another guy does 45% of the work, and the other 5 do the remaining 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I was doing a project; An experiment where each group had to create a device (made of simple things) that would prevent an egg from cracking when dropped. Me, a smart as whiz-kid and some dumbass. Course the dumbass did nothing. No shocker there. I did about 60% percent. Most of the working out was the whiz kid. Admittedly our egg broke when it was dropped from a height of approximately 3m. I blame the dumbass. And our failure to put protective casing on said egg.

J-Max Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Job Interview. 4 of us Apllicants had to get together and discuss a subject coming up with a Team Solution.

Cin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I remember during a physics project partner wasn't there, so I did it myself and let her to read the presentation out. I prefer working alone on stuff like that anyway. Lol J-Max reminds me of my 3 hour interview for an 8 hour job, when we had to make a card house, we all worked together though. (We cheated by folding the cards in half) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 They useful when you want out of prison before your court date and when getting water out of a sinking boat. Otherwise, I wont let the lazy bums get any credit for work they didnt do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 This is why i like working alone. And when I [i]do[/i] work with other people, I actually try to do most of the work because I assume that they won't do as good a job as me, and it's usually true.
