Not really a fired moment because it was a university project.

A colleague of mine decided it'd be nice to set placeholder images to Hitler wearing a hello Kitty Nazi uniform. Oh without telling anyone, of course.

I go into the lab that a couple lecturers share, one of them was interested in the project we were working on and to our surprise the placeholder images pop up. I immediately say sorry, I didn't set that image and the guy looks at me with judging eyes.

Same guy has to take meds daily otherwise he acts up, not sure what it was he had, may have been ADHD, anyways we were staying late and he forgot his meds, and while our client is in the same room this guy starts doing the macarana behind the room separator, while we're supposed to give him a live preview of what we had accomplished in three months of work. Needless to say he didn't see him dancing like a moron but wow :/ learn to control yourself.

Same guy also never commented his code and used the two letter variable principal because it's such a great idea >.> Me and the other guy spent 6 hours rewriting his code, which should have been less time but he wasn't there to help nor was he available to yell.. I mean ask for help.

I hate University group projects....

    @olback ikr, thing is placeholder images are fine but why was it ever a good idea at all to use Hitler of all things? Or maybe add in some sort of warning comment

    //TODO remove Hitler image, sorry guys

    I got so pissed off at him afterwards

    I had another bad project where two people left right at the end, near the deadline lol fuck those guys.

    Honestly if someone isn't that great of a programmer, hey I don't mind helping out, but don't join the group do nothing, have me spend 5 hours explaining how a git repository works on to create major merge conflicts down the line, expect to implement a very complex AI system, then leave 3 weeks down the line using Skype as a means to say "dropping the paper, laters".

    Lol I'm a nice person I swear, but I have my limits.
