Is there a word for that person who you recommend something to and even though the majority of people like it, he'll always bash it and say the "thing" he has already tried is way better. It could be anything, ice cream, tiles, donair, sun screen, freakin deodorant FFS but they will never admit the thing you recommended was better. People like that annoy me. They can never say "yeah that was good, thanks". they just have to always know what is better. Case in point I recommended a friend recently about a Donair/shawarma place and when he comes back he says he likes this other place better and it wasn't that good. A week later he goes there again and posts his sandwich on instagram and the name of the place and says "best place in town!".
Screw you.
a classic case of 'one-upmanship' ...is that a word???
my old next-door neighbour was soooooo like this - i found it quite humorous. one time i decided to 'set him up' just to see what he would do....
another neighbour from around the corner and across the street was chatting with me one evening and i saw my next-door neighbour outside, so i mentioned to my 'around the corner' neighbour, 'make sure to get the conversation onto past jobs.' so we head over to chat. the 3 of us are chatting and my one neighbour brings up past jobs. i talk about stuff i did before starting my own biz and of course my next-door one-ups me (which i totally expected) and then he says to my other neighbour, 'how about you... what other jobs did you do?' she responded with (and this actually was her last job before moving to kelowna), ' i was one of the personal nurses for King Fahd and the royal family of saudi arabia!' ...well, that pretty much put an end to that conversation - he couldn't one-up that... it was awesome!!!

Okay, I was looking around on ebay today for an old Nikon film camera just for kicks. I found a N6006 with a lens that was worth more than the price, so I bought that. Good find.
I have been wanting a d7100 but had decided not to spend the money and wait for the d7200 to come out. If it's not significantly better than the d7100, at least the d7100 price would probably go down.
So, I noticed several d7100s for less than a grand.
Suddenly I see a listing - 4 d7100s available, buy it now, 200 bucks each.
I keep thinking-it must be a trick. I don't want to get ripped off. This isn't ethical. Blah blah blah.
I noticed the seller has only been a member since March and has no feedback. No other items for sale either. Seller says he/she is based in US, but the item ships from Hong Kong and may take close to a month to receive. English is obviously not the seller's first language.
So I ditched the listing.
After a few minutes, I decided to go back. After all, the seller took paypal. There is also the eBay guarantee.
But of course all 4 cameras were gone. Did I do the right thing?
I doubt the seller left out the "1", meaning to sell for 1200 bucks. That would be more expensive than the other listings.
So, go ahead, make me feel worse ;(
Any of you ever miss something like that due to a misplaced conscience lol.
Now I go back to ebay and there's a similar listing-body only, nothing else-from Japan for over 1300 bucks, plus 57 shipping.
Wow, I've never seen a performance like this from everyone's favorite poster in the FOI forum. He's literally taken over the top 5 threads in that forum. It's incredible dedication to his craft.

I am trying to comprehend how people on the highway cannot manage to stay in the right-lane without drifting right and spraying people behind with gravel, yet also when in the left-lane will drift left and do the same thing. What is wrong with people? Is it that difficult to keep your narrow vehicle within two well-marked and generously spaced lane markings?
