Picking Up Scraps

The art of taking credit for an accomplishment that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Alternatively, acheiving a goal only after someone has done most or all of the work for you.
Bob: Damn, that project was rough. But I think I really pulled it off.

Jeff: Yeah..you pulled it off alright. (smiles wickedly)

Boss: Why Jeff, what an excellent job you did on that project, we should talk about your promotion.

Bob: (face turning 10 shades of red, he begins to hop up and down) But..but..no...he's PICKING UP SCRAPS!

Boss: Bob, perhaps you would benefit from some..counseling..
