I used to think it was just me and my groups that were bad at getting organized, listening to leaders and following orders and unable to deal with some serious procrastination issues, but after watching an entire season of the Apprentice in a week, I've discovered it's not just us, pretty much everyone is really bad at teamwork and playing nice when shoved into a team where they just don't like the other members. A word of advice: don't choose friends as groupmates, unless you're really good friends because in the end, when the deadlines are up and the pressure is on, you're all going to be either yelling and blaming each other or trying to calm everyone down and mediate. Neither's a good position to be in, I can say from experience. If you're the one doing the snapping at everyone, you're not a "team payer" and the longer the bitchiness goes on, the less of a "team player" you are. If you're the mediator, you'll probably never look at someone you thought of as a friend/acquiantance the same way after having to calm them down and tell them to "play nice", much like having to deal with a couple of troublesome five year olds.

The best place to be, honestly, is a position I found myself in a good deal last semester: sitting in the corner, watching amusedly as others duke it out and still others try to restore the peace.
