I just saw your post count lol - you ARE new here. Heads up, there are some grumpy gus posters that are best to ignore.

It’s all theater — much like real life. There will always be those who try to make themselves feel better by trying to make others feel worse. (While I am enjoying learning about other people’s favorite chocolate in this thread, there is no reason to bash someone else’s.)
In real life, I know someone I call “The One-Upper.” Any time I mention something I like or plan to do or have done, she makes it known that she has a “much better” choice or plan or experience than anything I could ever possibly come up with.
If I made her constant one-upping into a drinking game, and downed a shot every time she did her routine, I would be on the floor within a very short time. She also begins a lot of sentences with “I”…..She too often makes me feel like I am in some ridiculous competition I did not sign up for.
There are only so many standard personality types we run across in life or in literature — and on TOTV, too. It’s all theater — as we “strut and fret our hour upon the stage” — as said Shakespeare.
Hang around TOTV long enough — or too long (blush) — and you will see sometimes that things play out as if they have been scripted.
