Guy Stops Sharing Group’s Project To Girl Who ‘Texts Her Boyfriend Instead Of Helping’, And It Escalates Quickly
Group projects are the worst, plain and simple. Every person is given a role to play, yet no matter what, the brunt of the work falls on some members shoulders more than others and without fail there is one member who just doesn’t bother showing up at all.
Well one group leader had had enough of their laziest members shenanigans and took it upon themselves to let her know in a pretty brutal way. Scroll down below to read the hilarious and heated text message exchange between the two group members when the girl finds out the hard way her classmates are over it.

When I die, I want the students who I did group projects with to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.

This happened during a college project..verbal presentation on terrorism. I was paired up with a girl to do the formation and current issues with the IRA. Our first project meeting, she shows up for 2 minutes, just long enough to say "I need to go get dinner." The second meeting at a coffee shop involved me giving her an outline of how we would do the presentation (headings-subheadings-finer points). She takes the printout and says "I have to meet someone to workout." and leaves. I approach the professor to tell them the issue, he says "just do your part, I will ask questions, don't help her and don't tell her what you get for a grade." I did my part, then look over to see her with MY outline trying to stumble her way through the presentation. He asks her questions..she stumbles looking at me to help her. He asks me the same questions, I answer fully. I got an A. She comes yo me later and says "Can you believe he only gave us a C- on that paper." Yeah..uh-huh. (giggle)

@Aunt Messy - No.The purpose of the group project, aside from learning about the topic, is to learn to work as a group. If one group member cannot be bothered to do their bit, then it could affect the team. Thats a lesson that everyone needs to learn. Your 'suck it up and do what needs doing' attitude just enables flakers and bullies to continue sponging off others work. I think the professor did the right thing by being lenient in giving the flaker a C grade and not an F or worse, calling out that student for flaking, in class. reading your comment, I hope to god you're not a team leader or manager or teacher. You're attitude in this regard is terrible.

If the group leader handed this conversation over to the principal she could get kicked out, No, She SHOULD get kicked out for threatening a student. But I guess she's digging her own grave anyway. It would just speed up the process.
