If I was your prof I'd probably ask why you left all the material with your notoriously lazy lab partner.

Well, he did purchase the equipment. I have the same set of equipment, but I need it for another lab, so we use his.

I was already on campus without my equipment. I came to our 1 hour lab on Friday (late checkout lab) expecting him to show up. I didn't have time to go home, get my equipment, come back to campus, checkout lab specific items, rebuild the entire lab, debug, and then checkout. That would've take at least 3 hours.

that's quite a pickle you have there. What's ironic is that I only encounter these deadbeat lab partners in Bio class and never in my other natural science class.

As long as it doesn't splash out and hit ya....
