Tall People

[Zak33]

I hate being called Tall. 6'1" is longer body length than average, but being called "tall" is offensive.

PLease everyone stop it. Or I'll need Police Protection. And I'll persue damages... and ask for leg reductions on the NHS that you'll all have to pay.

Stop wingeing streak, get your head out of the clouds & shake off those lofty ideals.

Frankly, I'm tired of being marginalised by all the 'talls' round here. I can't go out of the house without feeling intimidated by all these people towering above me!

I'm going to go to court and have everyone above 5'10'' reduced down to an acceptable height.

Oh, shut up
When someone gives you a compliment (because tall guys are deemed more attractive, earn more - allegedly), you say 'Thank you'.
Now apologise to all the 'vertically challenged' folks you've just offended

I'm about 5' 10" so anyone taller than that is tall, anyone shorter is short.

I am normal.

The rest of you bother me.

I'm 5'8"

I spend a lot of time looking at mens nipples.

I agree, 5'10'' is exactly the correct height for anyone.

I'm 5'8"

I spend a lot of time looking at mens nipples.

Are those two linked, or did you just want to get that out there...?

I'm taller than you, so shut up shorty.

Try being smaller than Tom Cruise then....I'm only 5 foot 6 inch when standing tall

He gets flak for being a shorty all the time and when people actually notice that I'm shorter than him they tend to give me all the small jokes and comments.

I just remind them that I get cheaper clothing as I can fit into some of the kiddies sizes at time and that soon removes their higher altitude smug grins off their face

A good friend of mine is 5' and 1/4". She says the 1/4 is very important.


Whenever I see her I say "Follow the yellowbrick road." She doesn't like it much.

I think you are the same height. Only he probably has tailored shoes (and professional cameramen) to make him look taller. Have you seen the wedding pictures where he stands taller than Katie?

I like to surround myself with short people. Then I can pretend to be the great and powerful Oz.

my girlfriend's only 5' 1 and a 1/4". she also reminds me of that extra inch and a bit if i ever say that she's 5ft. that tiny little bit seems very important to them .

6'5" here btw, it's awful walking down the street and getting pelted in the face by the edges of umbrellas.
