An entitled jerk decided that he didn't want to contribute to our group assignment, but also somehow still expected to have his name on the final product. So me and the rest of the group decided to get some petty revenge by not only taking this guy's name off of our group assignment, but also forcing him to come to terms with the way he's been acting. Here's what happened. Okay, for starters, this happened back in my last semester. In my

0:21.3

major, there is this guy, and for the sake of the story, we'll call him Peter. Peter is well known to be a good-for-nothing person when it comes to doing tasks from the professor. And Peter is a loner, not the, oh, I'm so smart and I like to be alone type of person. More like, I'm a loner, and I'm not a very smart one at that.

0:36.5

And this professor we had to deal with

0:38.2

is the type of professor that no matter how hard you worked

0:40.9

or how good and perfect it might be, you will rarely get an A.

0:44.3

Now this professor gave us a group project of writing paper and presenting it for a final assignment.

0:50.3

And the score of the assignment is used for 40% of the final grade of the class. So, these assignments are very much the deciding point of whether you pass the class or not, as getting a 60 and below means you failed. The professor gave us a free choice to choose our group members. I chose two people that I know would do well, and one other person who's good friends with one of the other two people. When the assignments are announced, we got three months to do it. As I mentioned earlier, the professor rarely gives out an A. He mostly gave you a B, and if you're lucky, you'll get a B plus. So, me and the other three members work on the paper and presentation for three months. When the deadline is closed, maybe about four days into the deadline, we pretty much have finished all of it and

1:27.9

have submitted our assignments. We felt free and unburdened from the assignments, and we thought

1:32.3

there will be no problem. But my God, how wrong we were. The day of the deadline, Peter decided

1:37.5

to contact one of the members of our group, and he was asking when we would do the assignments.

1:42.6

Now, the person that is contacted by Peter

1:44.8

forwarded the messages to the group chat. All of us are completely dumbfounded as we didn't even know

1:49.5

he joined our group. So I contacted the teaching assistant about it. And as it turns out,

1:54.2

the last group or so doesn't have enough members. So they decided to dissolve the group and

1:58.9

scatter the members of said group to other groups.

2:01.6

And when I asked when this happened, the teaching assistant told me that it had been dissolved two months prior.

2:06.6

They also then asked me why I'm asking such a thing.

2:09.6

So I explained what had happened to her.

2:11.6

Well, they didn't like that one bit.

2:13.6

And she seriously thought we just weren't reaching out to team members and that we were bullying him because he's a loner. Now, I was pretty upset with the teaching assistant,

2:21.4

but mostly towards Peter. It turns out Peter also has contacted the teaching assistant about

2:26.2

apparently being ignored by the member that he contacted. So I asked the member that is contacted
