Group projects are the worst, whether you're in school or at your full-time job. Having to rely on others for a grade or praise is a slippery slope because there's always a mixed bag of people in the group. The odds that you are placed with individuals who intend do nothing to get a good grade are low… but never zero.

If you're one of the hard workers who dread getting placed with a slacker, this story might hit you right where it hurts. That is, until you see how the straight-A student wreaks havoc on the slacker, both conspiring with his other group mate and his professor for a presentation. They came to an agreement where all students would be graded individually, and the slacker student would be exposed in front of the entire class.

The slacker, by the way, kept telling the original poster (OP) that they would get to do their part, but then at the last second, said they weren't going to do anything and didn't care if they and everyone else received a failing grade. If this infuriates you, scroll to read the entire story. Hopefully, we'll get you the update if OP decides to share how it goes.
