That’s known in this house as Black Catting.

‘I saw a black cat.’

‘I saw a cat that was blacker.’ hmm

It would drive me mad. I’d keep her in the ‘acquaintance’ category.

I don’t know if it has a ‘name or a term’ but it is quite tiresome & tiring to deal with . Does this person have redeeming traits that outweigh this annoying one. ?Best wishes

LOL thanks. Yes I think she might have been to Elevenerife!

Not sure if it's a red flag as far as friendships go?

Lucca

If you’ve been Tenerife she’s been to Elevenerife…?

I love that one Lucca
Aren’t people who do that also called ‘toppers’ ?

What's it called when you say you're tired, but the other person has to say they are exhausted? Or if you say you need to be up early, they have to be up at 5am AND do all their housework before leaving?

I have a new friend who, if I say anything always has to go one better. I'm trying to gauge if it's a red flag, or what it means? I've never met anyone where it's so obvious before.
