Woman tries to take credit for a volunteer's work at a non-profit, so they let her fail miserably in an important presentation: ‘The most peaceful payback I've had in years’

Volunteer work doesn't exist so that self-centered people can stroke their own ego and steal other volunteers' work.

To some people, though, volunteer work is the vessel they use to bear the crashing waves of possible mediocrity. In that same vein, they feign skill by robbing those who actually have a clue around them, unwilling to actually think for themselves for a change. How do you reconcile with the fact that someone in your volunteer group might be using their narcissistic magic to take credit for work you've completed? Now, volunteer work isn't about the selfish reward, but we don't condone plagiarism.

You know the kind of people we're talking about. They're the ones who did the bare minimum in a group project at school, hoping and praying to the homework gods that you, who did all the work, wouldn't tattle. If you held your tongue, you probably shouldn't have. Some lessons should be learned young, or they just snowball into something like this next story.

Scroll below to read about how an egotistical volunteer gets the karma they deserve when they try to take credit for another volunteer's good deeds. Without honesty, what does that make us? Liars, but most of us are pretty bad ones.

It's always the super-friendly ones, isn't it? They feign kindness because it allows them to complete their agenda incognito. They don't need to worry about others catching on to their selfish schemes, except that not everyone turns a blind eye to excessive niceties.
Honestly, they're usually a major red flag when I meet someone. Do you have any overly-friendly people you've written off for their undercover evils?
We all have one person, even if you can't think of them off the top of your head. Make sure to keep that specific person in mind as you're reading this. You just might form some goosebumps.
