It bugs me alot when people take credit, it could be taking credit for saving someone or something very little like saying they found a pencil when they clearly didn't someone else did. Someone who puts maybe alot of effort into it or the tiniest effort into it, it still is there's and no one else has the right to change that and say it was them.

Examples (Modmenu's , Finding Things, Work Etc,,
Just a little rant that bothers me alot so yeah what do you think about this.

So true, I feel like if I do something I deserve credit for what I've done

lol, the best way to get back at those people is to point blank call them out for it.

it's 2016. people need to be called out on their BS, regardless if it's about a pencil or whatever.

find proof, call whoever out, end of story. they will be salty at the end of the day.

This relates to me so much, this is a big problem on the Internet. I make videos and there have been countless times where someone reuploaded my stuff without credit, claiming it to be theirs, and/or putting their own watermark on it.

What makes it worse is that the sites, specifically Facebook and YouTube, do almost nothing about it. It's extremely frustating to know that someone is leaching off your content to make a quick buck or a following for themselves.

Literally spent 20 minutes looking for this exact picture to post, just to scroll down to see you had already posted it. ffs.



But, on the graphics side of things, I think it is awesome when someone tries to claim my work as their own. Must mean that I am doing well if they want it so badly.

I agree. Thats happened to me a couple of times. When I clearly do something for someone and then my friend runs around tells people he done it.

That's the world for you. People are sneaky and even in the work environment, they will do anything they can to get a promotion even if it is claiming to have done something which was incredible when they didn't.

I've seen it happen to many people, at my job, and in school. Problem is, they will always be around and will always try to take credit for things they will never/did not accomplish just because of the fact that they are either:

A. Lazy or
B. Can't Accomplish the Goal


For whatever reason they seem to want to steal someone else's spotlight, I think they honestly should be hit with a bag a bricks I mean pillows.
