Argh, I know some of those! One woman is a one-upper and one-downer. No matter what you say, she's done that, worked there, knows someone who was on the show, vacationed there, goes to church with some celebrity's nanny's personal assistant who knows all about it. Her children were models and she never tired of reminding us about it. You could come to work November 1 and remark that you had a fun-size Nestle in your lunch box leftover from Halloween, and she'd answer, "Oh, when Taylor and Hannah modeled for Nestle, they brought those home so much that we got sick of them." Or you could compliment a coworker on her pretty shoes, only to hear, "Those ARE adorable! They remind me of the shoes than Fran Drescher wore when she was in the Welch's commercial with Hannah. I'll never forget that day because we got in a car accident on the way home."
Sooooo glad I don't work with her anymore.
Do we know the same lady? Our next door neighbor divides her time between here and Chicagoland, LOL.
Does she have an "extremely successful" (I do not even know what he does for a living, just that he's REALLY good at it) son who is a wine-connoisseur (only the best for Mom!) and married to Hugo Boss's niece, with THE most adorable daughter ever?
That's been going on since I was a kid, and that "son" was my brother's friend-turned-nemesis, and I got to listen in on her conversations with my mom at highschool football games (HER son was the star player. My brother was "just" in the marching band...)

Hee hee ... no. This woman is back in California, where we moved from. I think we should introduce the two of them.
I have a friend who is a pathological liar and he can be quite entertaining in these jousting matches of one upmanship. I get embarrassed for him when I have pushed him too far.
This has probably been done before somewhere in CD land but I was wondering how do you all deal with people who always have to "one-up" you? My SO's friend's GF (who I don't even like, but you kind of get thrown together) always has to one-up me when we are around eachother. Example: her car is better, her family is better, she's skinnier etc. So ANNOYING. Anyways, I never know what to say when this happens.
Oh yeah, I did a thread on this & it had way more responses.
