Anyone know any "one-uppers"?

Anyone know any "one-uppers"? You know, those people that no matter what you say you have done, they have done something better. No matter who who say you know, they know someone better. No matter what car you drive, they say they drive one better. Anyone know someone like that? I know a few people like that, and it drives me nuts. You are out with friends, telling stories, and this fool always has to have something just a bit better than what you did.
 
yup, and they don't bother me

I just remind myself that my (or someone else's) story was told for humor or for what it was and the 'one-upper' is just trying to impress himself and others because he doesn't feel adequate.

no, I don't know 1 one-upper. I know 5! So there!
 
Hahahaha... one-uppers always make me ask them interrogative questions that proove them to be the little liars they are...

example:

Me: I drive a 97' Ford Tbird 4.6l V8. It's not too fast - but pretty quick.
One-upper: I drive a limited edition Acura Integra R-type with Vtec enhancements, a $5000 suspension system, dual overhead cams, a turbocharger, nitrous, $3000 rims, and new 170mph tires.
Me: How much did it cost to specially import and what company did you use?
One-upper: I didn't import it; I bought it from a guy who used to race and design cars for Acura.
Me: How come your key is just an Integra key and not an R-type key?
One-upper: Because it's a copy.. I don't like going around advertising that I have a limited edition Acura Integra R-type with Vtec enhancements, a $5000 suspension system, dual overhead cams, a turbocharger, nitrous, $3000 rims, and new 170mph tires.
Me: How fast is it?
One-upper: I smoke Corvettes all day.
Me: How bout' you race my factory Tbird and show how badly your car can smoke mine?
 


<< You guys should check out my thread. It's much better than this one. >>


no, I think that since my 'one-up' was first, it is funnier, so you should edit your post
