You Cannot One Up Flo

Flo’s relatives are the worst If yours have stolen your cars hers have stolen her house, garage and garden shed. If you are whiny, hers are chronic complainers who are more annoying than finding a live mouse in your soup. If yours are hurtful, hers have killed people with machetes. None of us have ever been able to top or one-up Flo’s stories. You should see us scatter when she appears in the lunchroom.

I think we've all known a Flo in the teacher's lounge. People who one-up generally have low self-esteem, of course.

Of course but that does not make them any less annoying.
