Thought-Thieves

You know what I hate? You know when someone comes up with this really funny, original thought that you know only that person would've thought of? And then someone takes it and goes and says it to somebody else (this somebody else is always someone who doesn't know or isn't friends with the creator of the thought) and acts as if they made that up? I hate that.

It really does my head in the way they'll go and say that somewhere where the first person wouldn't hear or see it, so then people think this person (the thief) is really creative and hilarious, and then whenever someone mentions that thought, everyone else will be like "Oh yeah, ------ thought of that, didn't s/he?!" and you'll just be sat there like, "Well, no actually, ----- did, ------ just took it." But nobody will believe it, and will just assume the person who originally came up with it got it off the thief.

It annoys me even more, if the thief is always moaning about people "copying" them (when in actual fact, everyone is doing this certain thing, but in their funny little mind, they've twisted the world to make everyone want to be them).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I won't say something funny if someone else says it to me, but I'll always start (or end) with "Haha, yeah, ----- asked me/told me/ said this..." because I know for a fact that I hate it when people get credit for my work, so why should I take credit for somebody else? When I get credit for something, I like to know that I've done something worth being proud of, so a thought-thief has to be really pathetic to act like they do.


Sorry for my little rant, but I just really wanted to say that.
