Yep this person is a one upper. Got a somewhat duck hunting acquaintance that is like this bad. Every story anyone tells he has killed more and done it faster. Oh and he never misses either lol. A bunch of us went to Canada last year and every volley he said I killed a double there or made some other amazing shot. Finally we decided to stop shooting all together just to witness first hand how brilliant he was with a shotgun and the dude literally missed every shot. Quickly humbled him which is how you generally have to handle these people.

A topper is what you call TBoy's bf.

A "one upper" is what you call someone who has a response to every one of your stories that is even more whatever.

I grew up around my Dad's and his pals, all of whom did this over beer and cigarettes in the bar / deer shack / etc.

Go to any construction jobsite in the US. It's actually pretty funny to just make up a story and listen to 3 dudes top it.

I’m related to a few by blood and marriage. Some people lack any self awareness and need to always be the center of attention.

Eh, I work with an incompetent person and every time I complete a job (while he stands around with his thumb up his arse) he feels the need to tell me how he "banged some chick and some bullshite" to try and overcompensate for his incompetence. It gets old.

Want to put an end to it? Figure out a way to get him to admit a region or area of the world he’s never been to. Wait a few weeks, then work in a conversation about a more specific city or town within that area. When he pops in from the top rope, bust his arse with his prior admission.

We call it Top Blocking

Me and my buddy knew a guy like this. We would make up wild stories just to see how he would top it. Everyone realized what we were doing, except for him
