    5’ 7"

    How much do you weigh?

    Slightly uncomfortable? Wondering what that has to do with anything? Then why did you ask for my height?

      Sir, this is a Wendy’s physician’s office. You’re here for your annual checkup. I am just taking down some basic information before the doctor arrives. Please unclench your fists so I can take your pulse/Ox.

    I get more people saying to me “wow you’re very tall” to which I respond with “yes and you are very observant” which I feel is funny in the moment but is just condescending enough to make them realize it later on.

    “How tall are you?”

    “Do your eyes not function?”

    Tbf I think this is an american thing. I have never asked someone for their hight, nor ever seen anyone ask this. American women are obsessed with men hight.

      if you’re over 6 feet or so, all sorts of people will ask what your height is… but i have seen weird height minimums on dating apps… usually with “i want to be able to wear heels”

        I don’t get it. Is there a rotating 1kW laser mounted on my head that may decapitate a woman slightly taller then me I didn’t recognize all my life?!
