One-upper.

My workplace is plagued by a one-upper/tall-taler. This guy has done everything you have, only better. On top of that, he's done it all, period. He's had a BMW twin-turbo in Germany, at times he has an MBA (which he calls a "business master's"), he played college football (he's about 5'8", 200 lbs with no muscle), he's been a pro racecar driver, and his alleged possessions and lifestyle don't add up when considering his paycheck. He's also in the Army reserves and frequently deploys to Afghanistan for "missions." Oddly enough, he works in a position similar to mine instead of being the CEO like I'd expect.

Do you guys have a one-upper in your ranks?

    Used to have one at my work. Once I pegged him for what he was, I just quit talking to him and barely acknowledged him...didn't stop him, but at least I didn't have to put up with him. Funny thing is, at the time I'd been an electrician for about 6 years and this guy claimed to have 20+ years experience, yet he was constantly making mistakes I wouldn't have made and not catching things I did catch...and to be clear, I'm not patting my own back and saying how good I am, just trying to illustrate how incompetent he is/was. Funny how the people who boast the most often have the least to back it up.

    Exactly, they'll claim to know something, then demonstrate the contrary. I went on a fishing trip with a few co-workers--him included--and he kept talking about his boat "back home," but would ask stupid questions that any boat owner should know.

    Funny thing, these types of people will keep talking and talking even if you blatantly ignore them.

    Sounds like small **** syndrome, unfortunately it strikes a lot of men...the owner of the company I work for suffers from this severely, except in his case it's so small you'd think it's a pu**y...

    Don't you just want to hit those guys??? thankfully i've only met one of those guys once and he doesnt work with me. About 4 years ago my dad's friend brought her bf over and claimed he could throw a 95 mph fast ball, hit a a golf ball over 300 yds, luckily my dad was right there and he had played in a few pga tour events, so we called him out on that and made him look like an idiot. He also claimed he was a pro boxer in california .....but thankfully like i've already said...i've met only one of those guys

    What, you mean you don't want to hear how he single-handedly won his state championship back to back and would have gone in the first round of the draft if that dude on the other team didn't take a low shot and blew out his knee? :P

    Also, one-upper hunters are horrible...not sure if anybody has hunted with one, it can ruin a hunt FAST!
  • JCizzleJCizzle Posts: 1,913 ✭✭✭
    Never hunted but fished. This guy didn't catch any fish at all, mind you, but no matter what you caught, he had caught bigger better faster, etc. Mysteriously he didn't catch any that day...
