I am not even going to pretend to be nice (ya… in all the previous posts was me pretending to be nice, ya deal with it). I am not going to sugar coat anything or even put in the slightest effort or “maybe he had his reasons”. This guy I came in contact with and had to work with for duration was 4 months was a straight up thief, liar and human scum. His name is “Aziz Alghamdi”. He is a 4th year computer engineer at UBC. Watch out for him, if he is in your group, he WILL lie, he WILL steal, and he WILL FUCK YOU (and your group but mostly you...).
There is so much garbage I don’t know where to start. He is all the bad partners you have had in your life combined and then some more. He does the usual late to the meetings which leads to no show to the meetings. That stupid smile when he finally shows and then pretends nothing is wrong and then says “Hey guys” (in stupid caveman voice). He is an egotistic prick, who thinks everyone else is inferior (even though he is often wrong). Terrible group dynamic, obviously because you know, everyone else is shit to him. Oh, and he smells bad.
If he was simply just all of the bad things I named above, he would be a bad team mate; he wouldn’t be worth blogging about, but he is so much more! It all builds up to one final night of his douche-ness. Leading up to it was constant lies and empty promises. Prior to the final night, he would go on weekend long vacations (with no notice, unless you count a phone call 30mins prior to his departure) then saying he would come in all day as soon as he is back to work. Yep, that never happened. He would promise to be on time and work with the team. Yep, that never happened. Basically anything he said out of his mouth, you can discard as just waste of brain cells.
The project I was doing with this scum was a 4th year project course. It’s a long and painful course that takes dedication and hard work. Both qualities a scum would lack and he is by all means a scum. The project was due on Friday and it was Thursday. We were behind schedule, but with the right push and focus it could be done. The team hasn’t slept much for a few days and we were all pushing hard. The scum made a promise to be in early Thursday to help with the final integration and push. Without fail, he lied, and he changed his mind. He had to take care of “stuff” (which we will reveal later) so “I probably won’t be in until 4 p.m.” He kind of didn’t lie this time, he got the number right. Instead of 4 p.m. he showed up at 4 a.m. I guess I should consider myself lucky he even bother showing up to fuck with us. He is a scum. I have taken shits that looked and smelled better than him.
So finally he shows, hip hip horray… I know. For obviously reasons, the entire team was fairly upset with him which makes me the calmest one (I know right?). I pulled him aside and was to my knowledge reasonable to him. His reason was he had “stuff” (which he couldn’t go into details) and he had to get a “doctor’s note”. The mighty doctors note. This prick has done this several times. Instead of take responsibility for his actions as a failed student, he would often get a doctor to write him a note that will allow him to withdraw a day before the final. Yes, A DAY before the final. He has done this several times, and I know because he is proud of it and isn’t shy to tell you about it. So, this little prick went and got a doctors note, that’s ok, because I saved all the screen shots of his facebook status update “YAY WHISTLER!” “CAMPING TIME!!!!!” “FIREWORKS!!!!” and also his tagged pictures! THANK YOU FACEBOOK.
His sad excuses didn’t go over too smoothly with the team but we put everything aside and went ahead to work. An hour after, a team mate came up to me and told me we had to talk. Aziz is now trying to do his own project oppose to the group project and wants the entire team to help him. I found him and asked him what’s going on and he said he wanted to make sure his part works so he can show it off. Basically, he wants to show the Profs that his part works and the rest of the team failed him. Classy guy eh? Obviously we said, no and we would like to keep on with the project to make sure it works in a few hours. He was not happy with this and got aggressive and very confrontational. This sad waste of space doesn’t even have his own computer so now he is going after another team mate and trying to grab the teammate and the computer. This dragged on down the hallway and finally I got in between and told him to back off. He slaps my hand out of the way and got in my face. I pushed him against the wall and told him not to fuck with us. Then everyone jumped in and separated us. I wish it all ended here.
After the incident everyone is understandably upset and took some time alone. I went off into the stairwells to calm down while others were in study rooms. The scum bag came back and stole, ya STOLE parts of the project and a crucial cable used for programming which crippled the team. When one of the members called him, he said he doesn’t know what we are talking about. Later we met with the Prof and the Prof said “yep, he took it all, he pulled it out of his backpack when he was showing me what he worked on (he didn’t even worked on those parts)”. So here you have it, a thief, liar and a human scum bag name “Aziz Alghamdi”. Look out for him, and enjoy his company!
