You've no doubt experienced this situation first hand:
You're telling someone about something, and they 'one up you'.
It's human nature - they just can't help themselves. I'll come clean and admit I've done it myself, although I really try to bite my tongue.
'Bite your tongue??? Well I remember the time when somthing WAY worse happened to me let me tell you'.....and then they proceed to tell you.
'Twisted your ankle you say??? Well, I remember once when I broke my leg'....
You get the idea.
'Traffic??? Ha, you don't know traffic'....hmm, apparently not.
Next week I am getting my wisdom teeth out - my impacted wisdom teeth that is.
'Wisdom teeth you say???? Weeeelllll, I remember the time when I got MY wisdom teeth out'....and then they proceed to go into the horror of it in phenomenal detail. Seriously. Graphically.
So now my preoccupation is with whether I'm going to have something called 'drysockets', or 'excessive whatever' and 'adequate anaesthesia'....
Ignorance is bliss - I can now say that I am not ignorant!!!
'Doc, make sure you have enough knock out drugs okay?'
'Knock out drugs???? WEEeeeellll, I can tell you about the time when I didn't have enough for the patient I was working on.....'
Oy.
