anything you can do i can do better-er

We all have them in our lives.

Those people who *live* to one-up you every chance they get.

The shitster was one of those for me my entire life.

I had a serious knife wound...she was shot in the head (no proof except for her rampant stupidity)

I went to school to become an interpreter...she had been an interpreter for years.

I had to be treated for carpal tunnel syndrome...she had had four surgeries.

You get the idea.

I have a new one of those in my life now.  An e-maginary friend on facebook.  Our only connection is a mutual friend and the fact we attended the same high school, different years.

We were discussing said friend, and I said, "I've know her for 25 years!  I know this chick like the back of my hand lol!"  To which this person replied, "Well, I've known her even *longer* and know her even *better*!"

Okay...yea you.

Then it was from a post I put up the other day:  "The wind is whipping at 30 mph up to 45!", to which said person replied, "Well, it was gusting to *60* here so deal with it!"

Lucky you.

One day, it was particularly difficult with the girls, and I posted, "Sometimes it is so hard to have three girls!", to which this person replied, "Well, I'm raising two girls all by myself."

Not my fault, you want a gold star?

Today, it was when we were talking for some reason about weight.  I said, "I've lost 50 pounds!", to which said person said, "Well, I lost 138!"

Oh for the love of goddess.

The best part, and this part that makes me laugh the most....

this isn't a girl...

IT'S A GUY!!!

Kinda sad when some dude has to constantly, and I mean *constantly*, one-up a female.  The examples I gave are just a few.

SMDH.

Gotta love it.

Peace, Love and (wonder if I tell him I died and came back if he would tell me he is still dead) Zombies \IiiI

Wow, I can't believe that was a guy! Then again, men are immature as hell.

Of course now I have to go back and look. I try to avoid those kind of folks as much as possible, but it doesn't always work. :)

I actually don't think he is trying to one up you so much as doing an inept job at relating to you. It looks to me like he wants to play/get in the water with the comments but doesn't realize that not all comments need to be said. He sounds like he needs support and thinks he is giving it - being a male is significant here as they may not read cues fb or otherwise as readily as us females (who, and I am talking out my ass here) have been socialized to read social cues and the needs of others.

I think keep on being positive with him. Model Model Model good behavior.

Omg.. We have the same fb "friends!" Some days if I'm feeling especially bitchy I like to toy with them and just throw up ridiculously random shit on my page to see what they'll say next, most days I just laugh at their glaring insecurities.

I hope you know I click on your site everyday, hoping to read you mind-food.

I'll continue going to Facebook to get a snack.
