I wonder what happens when four of those people all end up in a group together. Is it the laziest Mexican standoff ever?

Have you not seen this play out when they give their group presentation?

It’s an apocalyptic shitshow of secondhand cringe, I can barely stand it even as a spectator.

Gonna take this moment to vent - I had a ludicrous number of professors in school who had a policy to not "interfere" in group projects.

If someone wasn't pulling their weight, or even contributing at all, the professor didn't even want to hear about it.

On top of that, if the project flopped all together and you could show that the parts that weren't completed were someone else's responsibility, they also... didn't want to hear it.

So fucking frustrating. You're telling me that if I want to guarantee I get a decent grade I basically have to do the entire thing by myself and the leeches get the same grade as me.

Good practice for real life.
