Creed Bratton has led an interesting life
A good portion of Creed's eccentric ways can be found in some deleted scenes from Season 3, Episode 21, "Product Recall." On Peacock, the first bit can be found at around the 12:20 mark. Creed bumps into a reporter in the break room, and the reporter recognizes Creed because he wrote his obituary years ago. Creed then goes into a confessional to reveal he did, in fact, fake his death and has collected the benefits as his own widow. It would've been interesting if the scene was left in because later in the show's run, Creed would once again fake his own death yet again before being found by Dwight (Rainn Wilson).
However, that wasn't supposed to be the only deranged thing Creed that in that particular episode. He was downright ruthless when it came to the firing of Debbie Brown. An obscene watermark went out on a shipment of paper, and as quality control, that was really Creed's job to find. However, he shifted the blame to Debbie. The NBC cut of the episode has some time devoted to this storyline, but even more is shown in the Superfans Episode. Creed demanded she be fired and even took congratulations from his co-worker for getting her terminated.
Getting an innocent single mother of two kids fired is definitely up there among the worst things Creed has ever done (https://www.looper.com/476921/the-worst-thing-creed-bratton-did-on-the-office/). At least the scene of Creed collecting money on behalf of Debbie, only to pocket it for himself, made it into the network-aired episode.
