Every Member of Group Project Claims They Contributed the Most

After submitting their oceanography group project on eCampus, each of the four group members turned to Twitter to complain about their fellow group members. Each member claimed to have done between 90-100% of the work and berated the laziness of their teammates.

“I had to pick up the slack,” sophomore Jade Anderson said. “I scheduled both our meetings, and my slides were so much better than Katy’s, Ashleigh’s or Ben’s.”

Katy, Ashleigh, and Ben expressed similar sentiments. All felt they were the smartest person in the group and the only person keeping the project from getting a zero.

The Mugdown reached out to their professor, Dr. Sheila Buford, to see if she could comment on the matter. “The four of them all complained about the rest of the group in their project evaluations,” Buford said. “I see it every year. People feel like putting their write-up through Grammarly before submitting it makes them invaluable.”

Ben, a junior with over twenty thousand Twitter followers, tweeted “it seems like everyone at A&M is smart except the people in your group project.” Despite the unoriginality of his post, the tweet received 1,700 likes. Upon further investigation, The Mugdown found that every one of his groupmates liked the tweet.

The frustrated students look forward to their future careers where they are certain they’ll never have to work in teams or have seemingly incompetent coworkers again.
