Who's fault?

[sisu]

So i don't know if this is the right place to put this in, but what the hell.

So today at school we had a sporting and outdoors day of some sort and the first thing my class had was orienteering and i ended up having this shit annoying guy as my partner. Then we get the map, some questions and a paper to write the answers on, and as soon as we get out of the classroom he is like "I'm not doing this". So i eventually get him out from the building to search for the places we have to go to. Then, i start walking to the place we need to go to and again he doesn't want to do it so i said that he can stay there and i'll do everything. So in the end i found only one of the places so i go back to the school and give the papers back to the teacher and she asks where my partner and i said i don't know cause i honestly didn't know where he was so i was told to wait in the classroom for everyone else. Then after about 10 minutes he shows up and the teacher is angry at him for not doing it with me. So he gets a bad mark on his Wilma account (a place where parents can see if they're children have been good or bad in school). Then he is like "Why didn't you come get me" so that we both would come there at the same time so that it would look like we both had done it even though i did everything myself. So i say "It was your own fault for not wanting to do anything" and then he starts talking shit about me to the other students so that it would look like i was the bad guy.

So who do you think was the "bad guy". I think i didn't do anything bad, but i just want to hear some opinions from you guys.

And sorry for this being such a long post.

You didn't do anything wrong. He shouldn't have been a lazy asshole.

If he didn't want a bad mark, he should've taken the initiative to prevent that. It's all his fault.

You're not his mom or babysitter, he's old enough to watch himself. He chose to not do it, he chose that bad mark and to vanish into like nowhere. No one needs to watch him.

FreeFall basically said my opinion. You didn't do anything wrong, he's the one who was in the wrong. If you want to pick someone as "the bad guy" then it would be him, although if he's anything like the people at my school, he's just lazy, and that is his own damn fault. You did the right thing, especially in not letting him take advantage of you by sharing credit with him when you did all the work.

No, you didn't do anything wrong at all. It was his own choice to be lazy, sit back and let you do all of the work for him. So it was his own fault for getting a bad mark. You did the right thing.

Thank's guy's. I don't know why but for some reason that thing has been stuck in my head all day, nice to get some answers.

How could you possibly feel like this was your bad? Admittedly, I have been in both situations more than once, but never have I blamed the one who did the work, for taking the credit. You did the right thing. If someone's going to slack in school, especially a group project, they'd better have a damn good reason.

I have to agree with everyone else. This is totally not your fault you friend is the one who should feel bad because he was a complete jackass who did not want to do the task at hand. You did the work and you completed the assignment. He never even attempted to do the work or follow you or at least help in anyway he just said "I don't care and I ain't doing this". So of course it is not your fault.

You did the work and you were rewarded (well in a sense) he never done the work and was punished (by getting no mark).

So like everyone else said. Its not your fault.
