University Teams when the tutors choose the team members
Fucking piss take, some bastard tutor decided that she would choose the team members for each team on some project we have to do. Her justification, "When I did my team project, it was the worst grade I ever got, because we couldn't choose our own team members"

Which basically means to me, "Fuck you all, bitches! If I had to suffer a drop in my grades, then so do you!"

And guess what? Yes, I get a team with one member who is a lazy fucktard riding off the back of the other members. He's a fucking wanker, and he's doing nothing (probably because he's gonna fail so see no reason why he shouldn't fuck over everyone else in the team.

Wanker! Arrrrrrrrr!

Ah, I feel a little better now getting that off my chest. :D

That pretty much sums it up. We gave him a task to test a multiple page complaint form, and he can't even do that.

He really is a tosser. When he does turn up, he has three expressions: nod, smile, and shrug shoulders.

I had this problem when I did software development too, just had to explain the situation to the tutor since the guy in our group finally dropped out and we needed extra time to finish.

Cant say this problem has affected me in my years at university, however it was once an issue a long time ago at college, basically did 95% of the work for the team on my own.

Teamwork can fucking suck sometimes.

Most of the assholes will be gone by the end of the first/second year of an undergrad course.

The good thing is, the project is really about how the team performs, rather than the end result, so finding that the scope of the project needs to be reduced because of useless team mates, can actually improve the end result (as long as it's written down, and well explained).

I'll be sure to diss the fuck out of him in my personal report. :D

This is the second year, and I'm surprised how he got through, but I suppose you can get through with pissy result these days (anything about 40% per module is a pass).

Pisses me off that my overall result will likely suffer from this though.
