    In my dialect it’s totally correct. Having and taking are verbs we’re very comfortable abstracting. “We had rain in my city today” is totally normal and doesn’t imply that I possess the rain. “I have a coworker who believes it’s socially acceptable to eat horseradish at his desk” is gramatically correct and doesn’t imply that I have any power whatsoever over this man.
