Research time. Being a short arse (5" 5) I've been spared all the annoying things shorties say to tallies. So I was wondering if a tall person could help me out with the top list of most annoying things people say to you? I'm guessing "What's the weather like up there?" must be ranked fairly highly.

Gratitude will take the form of a lap dance from Kenny.

Perhaps.

If I give him enough Guinness.

People generally just say "aha you are tall so will probably die before me" also more than what people say is getting clothes to fit. It is so hard getting jeans long enough and wide enough (I have chunky thighs). I am 6'4".

theres not a lot of abuse for tall people, since there are a lot of 6+ footers about its just part of the scenery.

I'm 5ft 11, yet I get called a midget by everyone else in KEA :(

Had the usual "hows the weather up there?" thing said before, even though I'm not especially tall.

Another 5'11"er here.

Tall people are always "lanky streaks of piss." Hope that helps!

Is it possible for anyone to see the screen in the cinema, if you’re sitting in front?
Can you smell your own socks from up there?
Do you sleep in two sleeping bags?
Do all sex activities include a ladder for the ladies?
Do you knock your head together with the giraffes in the zoo?
Is it possible to walk under a bridge, without hurting your head?
Can you see through the window on the 3rd floor from the outside?
Do you bow down every time a plane passes by?

posted them in the OT forums last month.

'nother just under six footer (5' 11 3/4" - bastard).

My favourite for the lankies: "I didn't know they stacked it that high".

Sonneti jeans ftw!

Sonneti and FCUK jeans fit nice if you get the 34 leg.
M&S jeans ftw!

6'4 here - I don't think I've ever had any stupid comments about it either. Having said that I guess I'm not freakishly lanky like ECA. I mean seriously dude, 6'5 is just abnormal.

Im 6ft tall. That means Im perfect. If you're not like me, you're wierd, and distorted, and very likely unattractive to women.

You are fucking NOT 5'11 you liar!!! Ive MET you ffs, you're about 5'4!

Midget!!!
:D

I reckon throd meant to quote Dukat not Mank there.

Dukat is about 4 foot and a fag-end and like I have said before he has to have turn-ups on his pants and he needs a ladder to brush his hair. He tried to get a part in LOTR but was turned away for being too small. Prince towers over him.

Dukat is definitely a dwarf.

Star!

Cheers for that. I'll go and get Kenny... :)

Also, I can't believe you're all so bloody tall. You must have to eat like a plague of locusts to simply sit still.

Throd, you was wearing stilts and looking through binoculars the wrong way around, and I was stood next to the biggest elephant from the 300 and I was crouching!

In all seriousness, It says 5Ft11 on my army stuff and I just measured my height and I AM 5FT11 SO THERE :twak:

Awww, did you draw a little line on the door frame, and write "DUKAT aged 22 and a half"?

:fluffle:
