This is the dream scenario for any group project, when people are acting like A+ assholes. In this case, we're dealing with some foolish students who thought they could make a clean getaway with another student's hard-earned work. Queue the absolutely necessary and righteous fail/win! And if that didn't get you inspired, check out the time this student gave a Lord of the Rings inspired speech before a test, here. Cause that will NEVER get old.

    Text - This happened about 12 years ago while I was studying Aeronautical Engineering. Due to some money-grubbing legislation tactics, most who have gone to college know about the unnecessary courses that are tacked onto the degrees in order to graduate. One of those courses for my degree was a Business class (seriously, you'd think these guys would understand that most Engineers don't do the business side of things). Thankfully, we had a teacher who was understanding of the fact that many of us

    Text - The school was a small one, the class a little more than 30 people, and I was assigned to work with three people I knew from other classes. We had problems straight away. Two of the people remembered me from a Calculus class that they barely passed as the person who sailed easily through and decided to dump their portion of the work on me straight away, knowing I wouldn't allow myself to fail. They were right. At first my other group member tried to pick up the slack as well, pulling hard

    Text - The day of the project finally comes and I'm sick as a dog, pretty much quarantined in the clinic due to bronchitis. I managed to send a message to the teacher. The two slackers manage to wrangle the presentation from the girl who worked with me and presented it to the class, declaring that they had done all of the work and I was skipping class because they had told me that they were going to tell the teacher what happened.

    Text - My initial grade was an F. I was beyond pissed until I realized something important: part of the project involved a written report, of which, I held the only copy since I was the one to type it up. Cue the revenge: privately I went to the teacher with my notes and the report in order to get the grade l earned and to get him in on the plot. He agreed since it seemed fun and he planned to fail them anyway for academic dishonesty. Publicly, there was no report. The classmates that had attemp

    Text - Next they attempted to act all buddy-buddy, trying to convince me that it had all been a joke and promising that they'd tell the professor that I had done some work, giving me some credit so that I had the possibility to pass. This was met with stony silence on most occasions before I told them that l'd rather fail than let them pass.

    Text - Things escalated after that to include the door of my dorm room being rapped on at odd hours of the night, shoving, and them stealing my backpack and notebooks in order to try to find the report themselves. One of them even asked my roommate to let them search for a report I had written and forgotten for our group (didn't have her as my roommate the following semester) Things finally came to a head on the last week of classes. I had held out on them for a month, not telling any of my grou

    Text - attempted to do the report themselves and the girl who had worked with me was in hysterics over the very real possibility of failing the class. It was what the teacher and I had been waiting for and he finally decided to return the reports. The two slackers glared daggers at me as the teacher returned the report of every other group in the class before stopping in front of them. He was holding what looked to be one extra report and they were immediately looking hopeful. He set a single sh

    Text - "I had to dock some points for dishonesty, but you and your partner did decently," he stated before moving on My partner realized what I had done. We only got an 82 on our project, but it was far better than the 0 that our ex-group mates received. I had been carefully documenting the harassment that the two slackers had put through and ensured several witnesses saw some of what they did. Two days after being informed that they were failing, the pair had a

    Text - new problem: I gave the evidence to the administration of our school and the teacher reported the academic dishonesty. The administration did a bit more digging and found that the pair had been making trouble for some time and a number of students reported similar problems of having their work stolen. The slackers were expelled.
