one up

One-up

So I had this Client today Linda right? and She was telling me about her friend. Lets say her name is Sarah. I cant remember her real name, so Sarah will have to do for now. So Linda was telling Sarah how she was on this plane one time and she was having bad turbulence on the way back home from Jamaica. She was all nervous and scared, giving her details on how she felt. So Sarah bust out at the end of the story and says yeah i was on a plane before. Thats it! kinda weird huh?

Exactly Sara is that 'one-up girl'. You know? every time you tell a story or even talk They have to one up you. For instance you can be talking about a concert experience you had and then your friend comes in and says naw naw . If you think that Al-B-Sure concert was good ,i went to the Jodeci concert and it was way better. Or if you think that Big Gulp is good from 7 eleven. You should get the Slushy from quick trip.. thats what i get.

Everyone has probably been guilty once or twice but Why do some people always feel the need to one up you. Is it just to relate or is it insecurity? I am sure everyone has a employee or family member who one ups you. if not you might be that one upper' Well regardless of Linda's story, I had to do it! I one upped her with somebody i know who always one-ups me. So lindas friends sarah don't got nothing on my friend, he is the king one upping. I can always depend on him shuttin my experiences down.
