Do you know a "trumper" and how do you deal with him/her?

I like to affectionately refer to those people whose situation is always ramped up a notch as “trumpers.” You know the kind: when you say you’re tired he/she strikes back with, “Oh, talk about tired, I worked 23 hours straight and am running on 4 hours sleep over the last three days.” Or when you say, “Man, I sprained my ankle and needed three stitches when I fell hiking.” and lo and behold the trumper pipes in with, “When I climbed Everest I slipped and finished the climb with a concussion, severe lacerations, and a ruptured spleen.” These people always have a story to trump yours. I understand the innate desire to relate personal experience, but c’mon these people are too much! I normally make up a wild story to get the trumper thinking. Have you had this experience?
