Storytoppers

u_c_thesecond

Ok lads we all know a storytopper-the person that HAS to have a better story than you. If you won 20e on a scratchcard this person once won 1000e, if you got a couch for 50e off the orginal price he got one for 200e off.

The one i know is my brother in law James , Hes with my sister 13 years and JESUS hes desperate. Hes being doin it for years and he makes up some crap (He once claimed he was Dr Who but at the last minute they fired him) we all ignore it but hes become such a pain recently.

Last weekend we were at a family wedding, and My dad asked my Fiance at the bar how work was, and my fiance mentioned hed gotten a bit of overtime last week so money went towards painting the house.

Didnt my brother in law earwig, saunter up to the bar and start saying "Oh i was asked to do overtime and i said no, and the boss offered me double time, then triple time and i said no because i was meeting my wife for dinner" And he said 4x times an hour and i still said no"

At this stage my dad said "Good for you" and walked to a table with my fiance and said "So Liz said your thinking of applying for a managment programme in work"

And of course James had followed them and heard them and said "Never mind your managment programme,the day after i refused 4x overtime they called me into the office and said they wanted to promote me because i wasnt scared to stand up to them and I had balls and I said no because im happy at my job and now they are still annoying me about it"

Funny when i asked my sister about it she had no idea!

What's with the spaces?

In the name of God, what effect are you trying to trying to achieve with the s p a c i n g of letters?

It's completely bizarre and seeing it sparked a memory of a thread with some similarly odd "creative" punctuation going down.

What's the deal?

And this. You're not on bebo.

YoureSoVain

yea, my neighbour is like that. Sometimes I forget myself and tell her a story only for her to start telling me her own (worse) version. On a number of occassions I've had to bite my lip to stop from laughing when she starts.
On the other hand I've often had someone tell me something only to catch myself saying "yea, me too but....."
I don't want to be one of those people!

Come on guys, lay off. She's just a spacer.

Basically you're talking about 'the bigger fish' sh*t talk.
'I got a fish this big' ... then .... 'well i once caught a fish THIS big'

To sum it up Op, some people just dont grow up.

Did you try to put double spaces between your letters, by any chance?

Maybe you're just jealous that your stories aren't half as good as other people's OP?

I have a story quite similar to one told by your brother-in-law James; except mine is more entertaining and reflects better on me than the one he told does on him.

Sorry for ruining this oh-so-serious thread on you.

I realise that this is a very important subject we're discussing here and a lot rests on the outcome of the thread so I apologise unreservedly.

Or perhaps you should stop whining and realise that some threads are always going to be piss-takes and other threads that actually warrant serious replies get them.

You're new here, perhaps you should try to settle in before you try to lecture everyone else about the way things should be here.


Or are you new here....... ?

I have the opposite problem OP. I have people constantly telling boring, underwhelming stories just before I tell my own much more interesting and impressive ones. It's as if they know that I'm about to tell them and preempt me with a similar topic in order to make mine seem bad by association. It's getting to the stage where they're doing it before I even know what I'm going to bring up!
