'I went straight above him to the board of the college': College student gets ghosted by their group project peers, presents project alone out of "amusement"

Group projects can be absolutely infuriating if you're doing them alone. As one commenter in this thread pointed out, some professors feel strongly that working on group projects is the closest that students can get to real-life experience. That's probably true, but it doesn't make it any less infuriating to try to coordinate schedules with three or four other busy college students. Everyone has jobs, sports, family to care for, studying, and other activities that can make it hard to find time to meet up. It often ends up with one or two of the students doing all the work, while the other two or three lounge around and ghost the group work entirely. 

This is super frustrating to the students who want to work diligently on the project. And every professor deals with this in their own way: some will punish the slackers, but others will throw up their hands and refuse to intervene. I suppose that is pretty close to real-world experience, isn't it? 

Next up, read about some job candidates who have no idea why they keep getting rejected, like one person who pushed past a random stranger, only to arrive at his interview with… that person he just shoved!
