We all have that one friend who we don't really like, but keep around anyway for some kind of entertainment value. We hope that somehow, they will have one redeeming quality to continue existing on our friends list. But in truth, we're probably better off without them. Still, most of us are keeping them around because we've got a secret love-hate relationship with them.

1. The one-upper

Description: The guy who loves to steal the limelight and thunder from your stories or experience.
Example:
Me: I just got back from Paris. It was beautiful!
One-upper: It totally is! When I was there, after finishing a tour in Germany and Amsterdam, I partied with my Parisian friends. They are simply the best!

2. The social media braggard

Description: The guy who loves to brag about his life on social media by showing you how extravagant and better he is at living life.
Example 1: "I really miss the simple times we had. Like the time we were riding around on bikes in the busy city of New York. It was fun."
Example 2: Uploads snapshot of business class seat.

3. The thief

Description: The guy who paraphrases your jokes, statements and everything else, like it literally just came to his mind.
Example:
Me: The view from the Twin Towers is breathtaking, man.
The thief: Yeah, man, the view from the Twin Towers is breathtaking. (in a much louder voice.)
It's tough to explain, but maybe this skit from Key and Peele will help:

5. The holier-than-thou

The judgy looks...

Description: The guy who just loves being righteous, every single time and chance he gets. He is the bastion for all things right. He banishes wrong and punches
Example:
Me: Wow, check those chicks out man.
The holier-than-thou: We shouldn't objectify women. It is wrong.
Me: I was just saying they're beautiful.
The holier-than-thou: Like I said.
