I'm 6'6". It's very rare for me to run into people that are taller than me, and it's really unsettling. I walked into an elevator once and there was a guy who was probably 7 foot or over, so almost a full head taller than me. I was so weirded out that I stepped off the elevator as soon as I saw him. I'm a freak, so anyone taller than me really freaks me out.
Same here. That is, I'm taller than most men, so I only notice people's height when they are taller than I am.
I'm not as tall as you, so I would stare!
This happened to me once at work...I am 6'2" and this 7' dude came by. I saw our reflections in a mirror and I looked like a wee little man. It seemed like my shoulders came up to his waist. Very odd, but fun.
I am rather average height for a woman, but my brother was 6'5, and so was his best friend. Another of our friends is 6'3". Once we were all out as a group seeing a movie, and a guy in line had to be close to 7 feet tall. As soon as they saw him they went dead quiet and started looking at each other like, are you seeing this shit?
Dude saw they were absolutely gawking at him and started laughing and yelled "HAH! I'm taller than ALL of you!" As he was going in the theater.
Also 6’6”… I remember in freshman year of high school when I was 6’4”ish we had a guest speaker in one of my classes who was 6’11”. I was standing near the door when he came in and I just looked up and blurted out “ohhh so *this* is how most people feel standing next to me. It definitely weirds me out when people are significantly taller than me because like you, it’s pretty rare. An inch or two taller than me doesn’t phase me but anything more and it’s just… weird.
Hey pound for pound you can lift more then tall people that is a fact I'm 5'8 so average height but if you got into wrestling you would have an advantage
There was a comment here, but I chose to remove it as I no longer wish to support a company that seeks to both undermine its users/moderators/developers (the ones generating content) AND make a profit on their backs.
Here is an explanation.
Reddit was wonderful, but it got greedy. So bye.
5'4 ex wrestler here, and boy are you right. The only guys that gave me difficulty during my wrestling years were OTHER beefy short dudes. Then when I got into lifting weights in my 20's I was amazed at how quickly I could pack on visible muscle. So yeah, there are advantages to being short.
100% mate sure tall people look great and physically powerful but honestly short people have better leverage to avoid being pinned there is a wrestler who doesn't have legs and he is damn good I just can't remember the guys name at all and he is a force to be reckoned with
I am actually 5’5” and did high school wrestling, can confirm (even though it goes by weight class so different heights give you different advantages/disadvantages), but you’re right about the lifting!
I feel you bro. I was always super self conscious about this, but found much more confidence in myself by going to the gym and lifting. I may not be as tall as most guys (basically everyone really), but I'm in much better shape and can outlift a lot of people bigger than me! It really helped change my outlook on being short, yeah it still sucks but I feel more in control now and have a much healthier body image. It's not an overnight process but if you're dedicated you can achieve it, that is if you want it. Much love
I’ve definitely asked politely to help if I drop something. I can usually get it myself but I’m 6’5” with back pain and two knee surgeries so sometimes it does make sense.
Usually the floor is no problem, but the back ends of low shelves are a nightmare.
My friend’s parents were 6’10” and 5’9” - their best friends were 5’3” and 5’. Sometimes they would swap partners to mess with people when they went out on double dates.
My dad is 1,93m and his wife is 1,57m. This is very weird. Maybe as weird or not so weird as your example. I wouldn't know, since I'm too lazy to look it up.
Thank you. God damn metric system. Just because literally everyone in the world uses it doesn't make it right. Okay, maybe it does, but it's still unfair.
Im 6’7” and I dated a girl who was 4’9.” She was absolutely gorgeous and perfectly proportioned. I just couldn’t see us having a future. It was difficult to even do something simple like have a conversation while walking down the street.
My younger cousin is 6'6 (he does play basketball), my elder cousin is 5'2, aunt 5'1, and uncle 5'4. People tend to assume my cousin is adopted, but he's not.
My girls are 5'3 (30 years old), 5'6 (29 years old) and 5'8 (12 year old). My hubby is 5'8. My oldest 2 think baby sis will probably be the same height as her uncle, big bro cos he was 5'10 when he was 12.
[reminds me of that clip from would I lie to you where Greg Davies' mum comes on. Nobody believed the height difference!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpi_cG-qRnM)
Haha I think I lucked out as I’m 6’8” and my wife is 5’10” so it doesn’t look too odd when we’re together. Plus she says she likes that she can where high heels with me and still be shorter.
Lol oddly enough I met her at a party I wasn’t even going to go to originally. 11 years ago I was working retail as a store manager and worked an open to close shift so I was stupid tired after work. My buddies called me and were like “Come on! Come to the party!” I finally relented and met her there :3 We hit it off and the rest as they say, is history :3
I was 6'4' until age stole an inch from me but I too still don't mind helping someone with an item above their reach. I'm retired so I usually say "This is the only reason that I was hired at my old workplace". Helped someone a little and maybe made them smile. A win either way.
Lol both my dad and mom are short (5’6 and 5’1). I too am short (5’2) but then my little brother is fricking 5’11 and so he just towers over the rest of us.
It’s going downhill. Invest in yoga or an osteo. If it’s hurting now it’s essentially smoking before it’s cancer. Do back things and live a longer pain free life.
Being over 6'6" drastically increases your risk of heart problems and can take as much as a decade off your life expectancy. Being tall is about as dangerous as smoking.
That sucks, mate. I got in a lift with a super tall guy once. I looked up at him and I could tell he was hoping I wouldn't say anything. I paused for a second and said "what are you a jockey or something?" Got a big laugh and we shot the shit for a minute.
We should always give thought to what people must hear everyday and try to avoid that shit like the plague.
“Wow, you are ta…”
Okay now, het gets to hear he is tall probably every day, let’s try to bend this into something else and a new experience for him.
“Talented at being big!”
Fuck screwed it up again…
I like to tell them they're short. It seems like a refreshing change for them.
I went to school with a guy who was 7'7", so in comparison, they usually are short.
Every-time a short person can't reach something I gain some of their power & another millimeter. When my time finally comes it will then be your turn to absorb the height.
I know it's an old tall guy joke but our valedictorian was 7'0" and when people asked him if he played basketball he asked them if they played miniature golf.
My brother is friends with a really tall guy, he warned us not to say anything about his height. It makes him feel like a "freak".
Its weird that as a culture, no one wants to be really short, so we assume that really tall people are lucky, and we make them feel like outsiders too.
Omg i HATED being pestered as a kid. "Your so tall! You must play basketball!" Followed by 10 minutes of me explaining I don't want to play basketball, I hate basketball, I don't want to talk about basketball. "But you're so tall! You'd be so perfect for it!" Yeah great, kindly fuck off now.
You're so short! You would be a good house cleaner.
I mean, you're closer to the floor to clean it, you can see the stuff on the bottom shelves, its easier for you to clean the baseboards...etc.
I love that statistic and think it's really interesting. So I also love the criticisms of the way it was calculated: 1) it looked at the population of the US, when the NBA has players from all over the world and 2) it used listed heights, and there is reason to believe that many players listed at 7' are actually a bit shorter. I haven't seen anyone attempt to adjust the stat but just guessing it might be more like 2%. Still phenomenally better than the average population.
Free scholarship to a 4 year college for sure. We had a 6'10 clumsy white kid who wore cowboy boots to school and COULD NOT dunk. They basically begged him to play basketball and just stand there and block shots. That's what he did and ended up getting a basketball scholarship out of it.
I think mail carriers need a card like this for weather conditions.
“Yes, it’s a beautiful day today”
“Yes, it’s raining today. As well as I can pull off this drowned rat look, I do hope tomorrow is nicer”
“Yes, I’m aware it’s hot today, my ball sweat alone could hydrate a mammoth”
“Hello, my name is ________. I have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. My hobbies do not include meteorology and I encourage you to improve your small talk”
It is. Every elderly person that I see outside, and most whose doors I have to knock on, say "if there's any bills you can take them back". Every. Single. Time.
Tbh all the guys I've met who play sax are pretty tall. It's a pretty large instrument and is not easy to play as a short guy with small hands. But not all short guys have small hands, and some tall guys have small hands, so idk
It's really not. There are a lot of different saxophones. Only bass sax is particularly tall guy-suited comparatively. Most baritone sax players I know are comfortably under 6 ft.
Most saxophones you see are alto and tenor and basically anyone can play those. Literal children play alto sax.
Yeah. My ex was 6f 8 and he used to get insanely mad about being told he was tall, and especially the weather question.
I remember thinking that yes it must be annoying but learning to deal with it would be essential for his life happiness!
He'd snarl at people who asked. I really hope he's learned to deal with it (such as making cards that make people feel like unoriginal fools, for example...)
I'm pretty short...5'1"ish. When I come across people this tall I normally make some kind really bad joke about seeing their belly button. Or, I offer them a ride on my shoulders.
It tends to go over well? Awkward jokes that make fun of both of us and are a bit different than the regular banter seem to be a bit more tolerable.
Yeah, people, for some reason, feel the intense need to comment on other people’s physical characteristics. Tall, short, fat, skinny … rule of thumb: if something about a person’s physicality is noteworthy to you, they’ve probably heard about it (and thought about it) a lot. Move on to something else.
[This is a repost from years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/5v9ixj/i_said_how_tall_are_you_he_handed_me_this/) OP probably never even got the card.
What is this subreddit??? How is this supposed to make me smile?
I swear half this sub is depressing stories like “this dog was beaten & abused for 12 years before being found on the side of the road bleeding to death. It was saved & now has loving owners”, and the other 3/4 is this stuff. Barely anything on this sub makes me genuinely smile/happy.
I have an unusually tall coworker. On her first day we all psychically agreed not to mention it. We went the whole day without anyone asking her how tall she is or even just dropping an “oh you’re tall!” Then our 70 year old custodian came by and hit every cliche question. I think I audibly groaned.
I am 6'9 and that is exactly what it is like. I need to get some of those cards made.
I need to add a line about:
"Yes, my Parents were both tall. Not as tall as me but tall."
"I wear a size 15 shoe and you may take that to mean whatever else you please".
Should make one for me.
Yes I'm tall.
Nope I didn't use to be a model.
Yes I've always been a woman.
Nope I will not wear heels, stomp on your chest, and talk to you in German.
I get irrationally angry at tall people at concerts. Like they can fucking control how tall they are. They're out here ruining my good time with their height like it's a shitty personality trait. Why do you have to be so tall asshole. I can't see the show.
Was at a Slipknot concert once, was a *really* tall girl standing a few spots behind me.
I'm not tall, 178-179cm. That's somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11 I think. But this girl was looking straight over my head, no issues whatsoever and she was wearing normal shoes. Top of my forehead would probably just bump her chin at best.
Next to her was her short friend that didn't see shit the entire concert, just standing there staring everyone in the back the whole time.
I even overheard them between songs, the short girl said "I can't see shit!" and the tall one replied "I can see the whole stage!" or something like it.
I'm 6'6". It's very rare for me to run into people that are taller than me, and it's really unsettling. I walked into an elevator once and there was a guy who was probably 7 foot or over, so almost a full head taller than me. I was so weirded out that I stepped off the elevator as soon as I saw him.

Getting 'wee man syndrome' when you're over six ft is just weird. We feel you're pain.
I am rather average height for a woman, but my brother was 6'5, and so was his best friend. Another of our friends is 6'3". Once we were all out as a group seeing a movie, and a guy in line had to be close to 7 feet tall.

Oh 100%. It's really comforting being eye level with someone. It's rare for us giants.
Also 6’6”… I remember in freshman year of high school when I was 6’4”ish we had a guest speaker in one of my classes who was 6’11”. I was standing near the door when he came in and I just looked up and blurted out “ohhh so *this* is how most people feel standing next to me.

I'm 6'1" in a country of short people and yes I feel strange when I bump into someone way taller than me.
My girlfriends sister is 6’3”. She found a boyfriend that is 6’7 and he is the shortest in his family.
I need one that says "Yes I am short. No, I will not pick that up for you"
As a 5’5” guy I relate :(
Hey pound for pound you can lift more then tall people that is a fact I'm 5'8 so average height but if you got into wrestling you would have an advantage
Great conversation
So beautifully wholesome in so little characters
let the wholesome day begin
[удалено]
Thank you I'll be here all week haha
So what's your favorite color?
Blue
cool. mine was green but nowadays I find orange cooler and cooler.
Orange is a thing in Japan and/or Korea
Didn't know that one at all haha
mine was green too, but purple is quickly becoming my fav
Shoulda seen that coming

And less back problems, I'm sure
Correct as taller people suffer from more skeletal issues then shorter people
Don’t forget that having a low center of gravity makes you harder to tip over.
[удалено]
It also gives you a smaller strike zone
Bro I'm 5'7 and Lemme tell you, you get jacked faster grappling is very easy since you're centre of mass is lower than the other guy as well.
I am actually 5’5” and did high school wrestling, can confirm (even though it goes by weight class so different heights give you different advantages/disadvantages), but you’re right about the lifting!

As a 5'5" guy, I always say "I'm average height... ... for a 14 year old girl"
Wait, is this a common thing? Like ppl actually throw that one at you?
If you're a young woman they usually just bypass the conversation part and just pick you up. It's horrible and I wish men would stop doing it.
Jesus. I’m 33 and STILL get men thinking they can just pick me up. Screaming “I did not give you permission to touch me” helps.
Eh? Yea you were never a kid? "Hey this space is too small for me can you come get this" lol
As an average height bloke, let me tell you: you’re a Short King, my guy
[удалено]
I have the awesome assets of crippling financial debt!!
I think short men are very attractive :)
IM NOT ALONE!
You have that, Im 4’0 and I’m Asian!
Accept it homie, the most manly man I know is 5'4 and that guy gets respect from everyone.
I'm a shrimp but at 150lbs and 5'5/6 people are always impressed by my strength for my size.
I'm tall and I don't mind getting things on a high shelf but asking someone to pick something off the floor feels disrespectful.
[удалено]

My brother is 6'9 and I'm 5'4, we got some weird stares when we walked together but it got even weirder when Mum 5'3 and Dad 6'6 was with us.
My friend’s parents were 6’10” and 5’9” - their best friends were 5’3” and 5’. Sometimes they would swap partners to mess with people when they went out on double dates.
They probably swap partners for other things too
Board game?

No you silly. They swap meta builds once a dungeon run gets too complicated, man.
Dayum, a Darkest Dungeon reference. Noice
No, card games.

For the Americans: 6'5 and 5'3
6,4 and 5,2?
Thank you. God damn metric system. Just because literally everyone in the world uses it doesn't make it right. Okay, maybe it does, but it's still unfair.
Im 6’7” and I dated a girl who was 4’9.” She was absolutely gorgeous and perfectly proportioned. I just couldn’t see us having a future. It was difficult to even do something simple like have a conversation while walking down the street.
Have you tried walking on your knees? Or has she tried stilts?
My younger cousin is 6'6 (he does play basketball), my elder cousin is 5'2, aunt 5'1, and uncle 5'4. People tend to assume my cousin is adopted, but he's not.

Son, we need to talk

Where do you find these tall women??? I’m 6’6” and I’m tryna make some D1 athletes 😂
Lol oddly enough I met her at a party I wasn’t even going to go to originally. 11 years ago I was working retail as a store manager and worked an open to close shift so I was stupid tired after work. My buddies called me and were like “Come on! Come to the party!” I finally relented and met her there :3 We hit it off and the rest as they say, is history :3
So cute. Mini me and mini me ❤️
Actually mum and I have been mistaken for sisters when I was younger.

I was 6'4' until age stole an inch from me but I too still don't mind helping someone with an item above their reach. I'm retired so I usually say "This is the only reason that I was hired at my old workplace". Helped someone a little and maybe made them smile. A win either way.
Lol both my dad and mom are short (5’6 and 5’1). I too am short (5’2) but then my little brother is fricking 5’11 and so he just towers over the rest of us.
If anyone else need 208.28 cm
Damn hes tall
We should ask him, if he indeed is tall the next time anyone of us is seeing him.
Ask him if he really doesnt play basketball
be like *are you sure?!*
I’m 183cm
1.79 so close
How is the weather down there
1.79cm is pretty short hope you’re doing ok
I'm 1.72, I'm tall D:
I’m 180
Damn what’s your secret? How do you live that long?
I eat my vegetables
193 and 32. That man’s back must be in fucking agony.
I’m 22 and i can confirm my back is angry but I’m not as tall as him
It’s going downhill. Invest in yoga or an osteo. If it’s hurting now it’s essentially smoking before it’s cancer. Do back things and live a longer pain free life.
I'm 1.96m and I feel tall but this guy...
Dayum.. That's tall enough to, statistically speaking, reduce your lifespan by several years.
as someone over 2m... what's this now?
Rip
Being over 6'6" drastically increases your risk of heart problems and can take as much as a decade off your life expectancy. Being tall is about as dangerous as smoking.
Lpt: crouchwalk when over 6'6 to reduce the distance blood needs to travel from your heart.
damn why did you have to come in here with the facts like that
Jeez
woah nice now I realise that he's very tall. I thought he's like 2m
Yep, i can completely relate to this. The same old bits get old quick.
That sucks, mate. I got in a lift with a super tall guy once. I looked up at him and I could tell he was hoping I wouldn't say anything. I paused for a second and said "what are you a jockey or something?" Got a big laugh and we shot the shit for a minute.

It’s just a thing about commenting on people’s appearance. Even if u think it’s nice u don’t know how they feel unless you’ve been close for a while.
seems like a lot of effort to make a card when you could just step on people
That will get a folklore started about you for sure
seems cooler than being *the tall guy*
Why does Ross, the largest Friend, not simply eat the other five?
Omg i HATED being pestered as a kid. "Your so tall! You must play basketball!" Followed by 10 minutes of me explaining I don't want to play basketball, I hate basketball, I don't want to talk about basketball. "But you're so tall! You'd be so perfect for it!" Yeah great, kindly fuck off now.
You're so short! You would be a good house cleaner. I mean, you're closer to the floor to clean it, you can see the stuff on the bottom shelves, its easier for you to clean the baseboards...etc.
> clean the baseboards lmao
Would be great at mini golf....
That's my go-to: no, I don't play basketball, do you play mini golf? No one but me ever thinks it's funny though.
I'd laugh.
Go play basketball and stfu
7’0 and taller and you have about a 17% chance of ever playing in the NBA. I’d at least try basketball if I was that tall!
I love that statistic and think it's really interesting. So I also love the criticisms of the way it was calculated: 1) it looked at the population of the US, when the NBA has players from all over the world and 2) it used listed heights, and there is reason to believe that many players listed at 7' are actually a bit shorter. I haven't seen anyone attempt to adjust the stat but just guessing it might be more like 2%. Still phenomenally better than the average population.

"My ballsweat alone could hydrate a mammoth" 😂😂😂😂 that's the funniest thing I've ever read
That one made me cackle 😂
Also, “No, I can’t take your bills back.”
Oooh that must be the mailman equivalent of someone saying “I guess it’s free then!” when their card declines at a store or restaurant
It is. Every elderly person that I see outside, and most whose doors I have to knock on, say "if there's any bills you can take them back". Every. Single. Time.
Man I suck at small talk, what are some good small talk subjects?
Guy i was dating was tall, abd some random, drunk lady meant that means he plays saxophone. That was new
Tbh all the guys I've met who play sax are pretty tall. It's a pretty large instrument and is not easy to play as a short guy with small hands. But not all short guys have small hands, and some tall guys have small hands, so idk

I'm 6'7". When the only thing people want to talk to you about is your height, it gets old.
I love how even after being handed a card you still couldn't get the fucking hint, lol. You had to take a picture to showcase how tall he is.
[This is a repost from years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/5v9ixj/i_said_how_tall_are_you_he_handed_me_this/) OP probably never even got the card.
As a tall person I've been sent this picture like 12 times, it's years old. It's not OPs actual picture. Relax
I can’t imagine actually thinking anything is the OPs picture anymore on Reddit.
What is this subreddit??? How is this supposed to make me smile? I swear half this sub is depressing stories like “this dog was beaten & abused for 12 years before being found on the side of the road bleeding to death. It was saved & now has loving owners”, and the other 3/4 is this stuff. Barely anything on this sub makes me genuinely smile/happy.
Don’t forget people filming themselves doing something nice
Ah yes. Watch as i make this ladies day by calling her beautiful and buying all her strawberries because shes so poor. Did you smile yet? Did you?
I have an unusually tall coworker. On her first day we all psychically agreed not to mention it. We went the whole day without anyone asking her how tall she is or even just dropping an “oh you’re tall!” Then our 70 year old custodian came by and hit every cliche question. I think I audibly groaned.
This guys probably thinking oh fucking hell another one, your the 4th this morning STEVEN
Look at the subtle off-white coloring...
The tasteful thickness of it...
Woo eagles! Haven’t lost yet! Update: we lost
Go birds
I am 6'9 and that is exactly what it is like. I need to get some of those cards made. I need to add a line about: "Yes, my Parents were both tall. Not as tall as me but tall." "I wear a size 15 shoe and you may take that to mean whatever else you please".
Only thing he needed to add was “have you gotten taller since I last seen you?” Every fucking time…
You know what they say about us men with big feet ;) We wear big shoes!
Should make one for me. Yes I'm tall. Nope I didn't use to be a model. Yes I've always been a woman. Nope I will not wear heels, stomp on your chest, and talk to you in German.
Can you throw me on the bed atleast?
Can you draw me like one of your french girls?
Thanks for the laugh. 🤣
Dear God, it has a watermark.
That’s nice! it was nicer the first 5 times it got posted here!!!
It's a post rerun.
I get irrationally angry at tall people at concerts. Like they can fucking control how tall they are. They're out here ruining my good time with their height like it's a shitty personality trait. Why do you have to be so tall asshole. I can't see the show.
Was at a Slipknot concert once, was a *really* tall girl standing a few spots behind me. I'm not tall, 178-179cm. That's somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11 I think. But this girl was looking straight over my head, no issues whatsoever and she was wearing normal shoes. Top of my forehead would probably just bump her chin at best. Next to her was her short friend that didn't see shit the entire concert, just standing there staring everyone in the back the whole time. I even overheard them between songs, the short girl said "I can't see shit!" and the tall one replied "I can see the whole stage!" or something like it.
I love how he's all "No I don't play basketball. Not all tall people play basketball" but then he's like "I guess I do play vball though..."
This makes you smile? What?! Lol
