Not really.

Far too many times...

And there is usually something you can do...

1) Forget about it and move on
2) Don't try to be acknowledged for it and just know inside it was you
3) Let people know why you should get credit for it

That's Mr. Moose's advice for the day. I have no idea where this is going.

yea its just it irritates me sooo much cos its not fair but its out of my hands

You should listen to "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. Because they say "it's alright".
...
Honestly, yeah. For instance my boss took credit for an interface I made at work. Complete bullshit, but you don't want to be fired over it.

I just follow Mooses #2 and just acknowledge the fact that I know who made it.

Stand on your rooftop or some other area you're clearly visible in and blast the Rocky theme at full volume while posing. That should get you noticed (in a good way).

That does suck and happens to me too. Moose's options are pretty much all you can do. What exactly happened?

That unfortunately happens far too many times in this world. Though, the exact opposite happens too. You can get blamed for something you didn't do.

A similar situation is with Bush. He actually has done some good things in his term as president, we just don't hear about them as much because everyone is obsessed with the bad. And in his case, the bad does far outweigh the good.

So yeah, just take Moose's advice though... it's about all that can be done.

Oh, and to SO.... IT'S THE, EYE OF THE TIGER.
