Hilarity issues....
Caused by something as simple as a deadline.
OK... some explanation is needed.....
See, a lecturer at the institute I attend assigned a very small presentation for each of us to do in groups. Although we only had two days, the group I was in tried hard to finish on time, save one of us who had no contact with the rest of the group. We had to fill in his part too... but we finished in time.
When it was time to present our work, it turned out that we were the only people in class who actually did something. The rest didn't seem bothered about not having done their assignment.
The lecturer gave them another chance (Which in my opinion was wrong. Had they been regretful for not doing the work, I might have considered giving them another chance. But as the circumstances were, I wouldn't have bothered)
We were then allowed to do whatever we pleased until the other groups worked on their presentations in class.
I have to admit, watching cartoons on our computers was a lot more fun, seeing as the others had to work in the meantime.
That might sound mean to some.... but to me..... it was fair punishment (if not too kind for a punishment).
I just hope we at least got the lecturer's respect regarding schoolwork deadlines.
