inability to be an inventor

When you accidentally invent something that another person has previously invented, e.g. parodical SGM powdered milk carton design with the image of Mad Dog (the character starring Yayan Ruhian from the 2014 Indonesian movie "The Raid")
I thought I came up with a genius idea for an SGM powdered milk carton with a cool design, but turns out it was done by another person a while back — guess that's my inability to be an inventor!
