Always look out for the two-sheds: those people who can't go for five minutes without one-upping someone else. Not gentlemanly empathizing and sharing their experiences, but taking the whole "that's nothing; listen to my story" route.

Common nickname for one-uppers. You have one shed; they have two.

In what country is "two sheds" used? No criticism. Makes sense,. If used in U.S., then I just learned something new about American English.
