Let's hear some group project nightmares

I'm in a shitty situation right now, and need to laugh at other people to make myself feel better. Suffice to say my partner isn't pulling his weight. I had to teach him how to use the "E" to write in scientific notation in Excel yesterday. Out of 2.5 weeks, he has only found time to meet for 6 hours, most of which was spent with me teaching him.
I was in a group a long time ago, and this dumb brawd lost the flash drive with our entire 50 minute long PowerPoint presentation on it. Found that out 10 minutes before we had to present.

I am currently involved with this group project.
to be honest, the other guy is a total douche. I found out a quick solution to not doing anything..just act dumb as hell. I mean, he actually thought he was teaching me how to use Excel the other day
I figured after this stunt, me showing up a few hours out of the week would be ideal considering he will think I'm going to screw everything up anyway..

I just always went into these things assuming I was going to have to do the lions share of the work. If I didn't then it was a nice surprise.

My senior design group project had a kid that couldn't speak English, but everyone had to speak at some point during the presentation so that sucked. He must have had like 6 abuelas because he used the dead grandparent excuse that many times.
Professor knew it, basically told us tough shite that happens in the professional world sometimes so get used to it.
Same group same project- another guy's room caught fire while he was out of town two days before we presented so all he had were gym clothes and he presented to the review panel in in gym shorts and a dry fit shirt.

my first band, I was 16 and the youngest out of 5 people.
When it came down to it, in production it was me who recorded both guitars (at times double tracked so 4 guitars), drums, and 80% of the bass.
Out of all those members, I'm the only one in 2016 that is still above ground.

Last year of college, we had a 4 person group project that was year long. One dude did NOTHING. I went to teacher and he basically said tough shite. So one of the girls in The group and I split his part and sucked it up. I wanted to kick the guys arse. Probably should have.

I have been amazed how kids can make it all of the way through college not knowing proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, how to use Word and Excel, or how to format reports.
I think I've had probably 5 competent group partners in the last 4 years (out of maybe 30 partners). Well, competent enough that I could trust their work.

I don't have an entertaining story to share but i feel your pain right now. i'm currently working on a group paper that's due tonight
i volunteered to type everything because i'm a good technical writer and typist (plus i'm a control freak and don't trust them). so the one girl says she'll do the research for part one. i found two sources and told her we needed more like that
for the past three days, she's said she was still finding research and blah blah blah. last night she sends me less than a page of some bullshite she typed that is directly plagiarized from the two sources i sent and full of grammatical errors, as in numerous sentences that don't make sense
she says she's a middle school teacher, but there's no flipping way this girl made it through college already

Getting stuck with shitty group members is usually either a reflection of poor social skills or being as terrible as your "awful group partner"

Pretty funny that your post is full of technical errors.
