However, the OP of this story, u/UsualAd1535, shared that her colleague constantly tries to one-up everyone around her. She's not content to let other people have a moment to shine. Instead, the OP shared examples of this woman bragging so much that it brought her classmates to tears. She writes that a classmate pitched a business idea, only for the colleague to immediately "overshadow his accomplishment" by bragging about her own personal start-up.
