This brings to mind comedian Brian Regan, who does a bit on people who always feel compelled to top someone else. He says that would be the ultimate time to be one of the 12 Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon. Top that!
Grancey and I have a sister-in-law who is the same way. She has a serious inferiority complex and always feels compelled to compensate by competing with whatever we do or say. When we try to ignore it or just let it go, she views it as a sign of weakness. She is also a bully on top of that, so yeah, we're VERY thrilled whenever she comes visiting.
