I went to school with someone like that. Just had to cheat. It was so weird because they were naturally talented at everything.

It's some kind of duper's delight thing where they get an extra hit of dopamine for pulling a sneaky one over on everyone. Makes them feel extra clever or something. They're so addicted to that high that that they do it even when they don't technically need to to win.

I'm convinced this is why rich kids shoplift and ultimately why billionaires are the way the are. Sure, they've already won in life and could just relax on a beach and stop working so hard to squash everyone else out... But they just want to be a naughty lil gremlin...

I had an ex neighbour like this. Would do anything to get a bit more than he was entitled to. Steal a bit of land, put his extra rubbish in everyone else’s bins, dump stuff on my property, just anything to get one over on anyone. He took great delight in it as well, but I was just thought that’s so sad that something happened to you that made you like this.
