everyone has that **** in their life. who thinks everything they've done in their life is the BEST. even if they moan and bitch about it, constantly. anything you say in an argument with them is countered with something, that when you think about that... its actually really immature. as for me... i don't care that your 50 or so, you're still stupid AUNT MOE. guhhhhhhfuck mother 'figures'
However, I have to say that people like you discribe often like to relate their experiences in order to become part of the conversation, not always to one up you. It is just their experience at the time. I think I have been guilty of this many times. I agree some people are like, "Well, if you can smoke an ounce in one sitting I can smoke two". It's just that some people need to feel better about themselves or it's just plan competition.
