one-downer

This person usually will have an even story or event worse than the situation you are or have experienced. The opposite of a "one-upper"

I was telling Maria about how I wrecked my motorcyle last week and Crystal, the one-downer, proceded to explain how she was in an accident and lost her leg, punctured a lung and apparenly the hospital food was shiite and came back to life as hedgehog..

one downer

An annoying person who responds to hearing someone else’s experience or problem by immediately telling a similar story about themselves with a much less interesting or boring corresponding story. (Note: The story will be much longer than you could ever imagine or want)

Person: Last summer I went to Thailand and rode on an elephant.
One Downer: Last summer I rode my horse in my backyard while my brother watched. My brother also rode the horse. then we went inside my house and had a sandwich.

one-upper downer

(n.) Someone who tries constantly to out-do your bad personal experiences with their own bad stories, which in their eyes, is always worse.

Me: Oh man, I just had the worst day at work! I got fired...

Tim: Oh, sorry about that. Mine wasn't too much better. I forgot to save a really long document before shutting down my computer. Such a bad day!
