choice of topic? me. general idea of the paper? I did that. every single word in it? me again.
it's not a serious paper, but it annoys me that I practically wrote every bit of it. every time we met I asked suggested "this week, we should focus on this part and this part, I'm going to do this one...", and a week later, I meet them again, and nothing.

they're decent and fun people, but they don't pull their weight for shit. I sent them a draft for the paper and got nothing from them, I had to ask my dad to review it.

and one of them even had to nerve to say "I know I didn't do much work, so when all of this is over, I'd like to take you two out for beer". dumbass.

I hate working with other people. I hate to be the guy that doesn't do anything, and I hate to be the guy that does everything.

I'm too sick and tired of the paper that I don't bother even fixing the parts that I know they need redoing.
Been there, done that.
Except it was a full week work on my part, no help at all. We were supposed to be 4, did that all alone. Got the second best mark of all the classes doing this (second year, engineering). The only thanks I got for that, from one of those that shoud have worked on it: the result is not that good... Bummer, you never ever had first or second place in anything and you criticize someone that did your shit and placed you there, all alone when this was supposed to be teamwork.
So yes, it also pains me that I have to work alone. As time passes, I measure the great inefficiency it represents, I also admire great teamwork at play when I witness it. I'm just unable to be part of it or never ever had the chance to -probably for problems on my part-.
At the end of the day, regardless of how small things I did are, I did them all and no one shall ever try to steal that from me.

I know the pain too. Thing is, I seldomly eat pre-processed food. Less problems/risks and taste is often better. You only have to know how to cook for yourself, it's also easier when you live with someone who also knows how to cook, and cares for you too.
