Today, we were all put in groups to make a presentation together. And by "together" I mean I pulled an all nighter to finish it by myself. My group criticized my work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to do a presentation. No one else in my group showed up, so I had to do it alone. I was given a failing grade for presenting by myself, and therefore not being a "team player". FML
Today, I was assigned to work on a group project with some coworkers. The entire time, one guy insisted on "taking charge" and assigning everyone tasks. He gave me a single task: “Create a 15-slide presentation.” I completed it in less than an hour. He then decided we needed a 100-slide presentation. FML
Today, I had to do a PowerPoint presentation alone, since none of my group members showed up. I was given a big fat 0 for doing the presentation alone. It was worth 50% of my grade. FML
Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML
Today, my boss finally checked the presentation I have been working on for three weeks. She called me into her office, and told me everything was dreadful, and requested me to start from scratch. It's due in half an hour. FML
Today, I met up with my group for class. We were doing some final checks on the project we've been working on all semester, when I realized something about one guy's work seemed off. I googled it and found out it's almost completely plagiarized. It's all due in the morning. FML
Today, I proudly presented my research project in class that I've worked for day and night for 3 weeks straight. My teacher fell asleep. FML
Today, my class had a group project. The teacher allowed people to opt to do it alone. I, an introvert with crippling social anxiety, was the only one to do it alone. I still finished before everyone else, with an A. The other students called me a "freak" and many other names, simply because I work better alone. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, I failed a final presentation. My partner, who did none of the research, presented the entire project, talking over me and glaring when I spoke up. He denied everything and the professor didn't believe me. Now I have to retake this class with the same professor. FML

That's when you put your name on it and tell the teacher that they did shit all

I hate people who don't do any work in the group. And for them to criticize you after you spent all night finishing for them is just so ******* low.

The issue with group projects

That's when you either tell the teacher it was all you, or completely delete all but your fair share and leave it at that.

Throw them under the bus

That's when you tell the teacher you were the only one who did anything. I had that happen numerous times in in history 12 and my teacher was very understanding. It happened so often she allowed me to choose to work with a friend or alone

I feel for you because every time I did group projects I always got stuck with everything

When I die, I want the people I did group projects with to lower me into my grave... So they can let me down one last time.

That actually happened to me also, numerous times! I told the teacher and she disciplined the others in my group..

Be sure to tell the teacher. You may NOT let them have any credit

This has happened to me and it ******* blows. They ended up criticizing it and not turning it in until over a month later. I explained it to my teacher and he gave me the only A so at least something good came of it

This is why everyone hates "group" projects. Generally everyone but one to two do nothing while the person or persons that do care about their GPA carry the load. When I complained I was told it was like sports- "You either succeed or fail as a team"- at that point I told my "team" to **** off so they wouldn't screw me over and just sign their names at the end. I REALLY hate group projects.
