Have you ever taken credit for something that didn't originate from you?
I'm the first person to ever ask this question by the way.

No, but on the opposite side of the coin I have had credit taken away from me for something that truly was my idea. One memorable instance: In the Company I used to work for, I drew a simple (but understandable) floor plan of how the WIP Store should be laid out in a simple fashion that anyone could understand. Everyone had to ask someone else where the stocks were located; it was a total disaster. I handed the floor plan in.
Six months later, we each received an internal Memo to say how the Stores was beginning to change and that a plan would be put on the Noticeboard. When it arrived, I looked at it. It was a professional plan, but the entire essence of the drawing was what I had proposed and the name John Whitely was credited with the concept; John Whitely being the Store Manage who I had given my detailed plan / idea to. If John Whitely is here in SW? ... Then shame on you? ... LOL 😆
(Still, humour aside that's a true event)

@MartinTheFirst 🙄 It's easy...just watch.
Today you're alive because I got out of bed. Kim Jong Un has been monitoring me and he told himself that if I stayed in bed today he would launch his secret barrage of nuclear missiles that would destroy the entire world. So you're welcome...I decided to get up for humanity.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Of course...everyone's done it at some point...I was curious at who would actually deny it, lol. Was there a reward at stake that made you think you should do it? Or just recognition?
