Like in that 4 Yorkshiremen sketch.

one of my students asked me this the other day because he went to a school reunion and got fed up with all the oneupmanship (I married a supermodel, earn 55K, own a yacht etc) and started having a conversation about who had more shit things that happened to them. Bit like reading website for angst-riddled teens.

is negative oneupmanship a thing?
