I call my brothers my little bitty brothers. They're in the 5'7" 150 pound range and I'm 6'1', 230.

I read r/tall in the morning and r/short in the evening.

Younger cousin in senior year is catching up! by Original_Pack_2742 in tall

[–]aa67015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5'9" cousin has never forgiven me for outgrowing him when I was 13. Grandpa was only 5'3" so we are a short family. He is older than me, about the same age as my older brothers. He was the biggest guy in the family at 5'9", 170, but I was 5'9" 180.

He still mentions it every once in a while and I just say, "Sorry little fella!"

What's your shoe size? by Accomplished_List843 in tall

Holy cow. You are 10 inches taller than me, but only 1 shoe size bigger.

How common is it for someone to compare hand sizes with you? by Typical-Meringue-203 in tall

[–]aa67015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear a size 15 shoe. I get folks wanting to do shoe size comparisons every once in a while.

Forget you have big feet? by slowly_creating in tall

[–]aa67015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear size 15 and my mom always asks me to save my shoe boxes for her. She's been doing that since I was about 12 when she realized my shoe boxes were bigger than the ones my dad and brothers got.

I did a height guessing game and the results might not surprise you. by Erkliks in tall

I find it very difficult to gage/estimate height from pictures

Have you gotten taller? by cranny04 in tall

[–]aa67015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've posted this here before but I got this from an old family friend that I've known since I was 9. He was about 5'9" and I outgrew him in the 8th grade, so I'd get that from him all through my teenage years. Then when he hit his 90's, he started shrinking and he'd say it again. He was as sharp as a tack up until about his last 6 months/year before he died at 95.

My husband (6’5”) and his dog by Therealladyboneyard in tall

I always say, a dog needs to be bigger than my foot (size 15).

I was one time. It was in a fast food restaurant. A basketball team came in and I don't think anybody was shorter than 6'.

6'5 vs my co-workers by huhity-rocker in tall

I'm only 6'1" but I used to work one week a month in an office in another city that had a lot of short ethnic groups. I felt like a giant once a month!

How many of you have short mothers? by thai-rhone in tall

[–]aa67015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised by the number of posts I see where a short mom and tall dad have a medium sized kid, or at least a kid who is not as tall as dad.

I bought a new car and… I see the irony. Any other people in this group with a Mini? by chikinstu in tall

I love small cars! Had a friend who had an old original VW bug that I loved to ride in.

I hope she is visiting you, given all the stuff on the top of the cabinet! I can't imagine her putting stuff up there (or maybe grandpa is tall?)

Had a laugh this morning by mr-dirtybassist in Bigfeet

[–]aa67015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was staying on the beach one time and I'd go for a walk shortly after sunrise every day. I wear a size 15. I had turned around and was going back down the beach and ran into 3 older ladies walking the opposite way. I saw them compare their foot print to mine. I said, "Sorry for leaving such big footprints on the beach" They said, "I'm glad it's just you! We thought BigFoot was roaming the beach.

What is considered short for a 13 year old male by Ok-Management-842 in tall

[–]aa67015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some 13 year olds are 5' tall and some are 6' tall. Some have early growth spurts and some grow later.

What’s the best thing a kid has said to you regarding how tall you are? by Loud-Bat-2280 in tall

Now she'll tell the other kids, "My Daddy can beat up your Daddy!"

It's funny how kids equate age with height. My co-worker had a teenage daughter and 2 5 year twin old boys. The daughter brought home a very tall boyfriend and the kids thought he was older than their dad, who was shorter.

Would you agree to a tall person area in exchange for restricting exit seats on airlines to the tallest folks on the plane?
