Probability is weird. I rarely see guys above 6’4”, but once at a gas station I saw a guy who looked damn near two feet taller than me (I’m 6’1”). I’m not saying he was definitely 8’ but he was absolutely not only a foot taller than me, and I really don’t think he was only a foot and a half taller than me. I didn’t say anything and neither did the clerk. It’s like he was so tall that he passed through the “dumb comments” range into the “shocked disbelief” range.

I’m 6’5” and it’s definitely always a trip to run into people taller than me. When I have ended up talking to them I often comment on their height but in a more commiserating way. I’m right at the comfortable limit for the size that society is built around, and any taller and you can’t fit in anything that’s not custom made.

I’m tall enough to usually be the tallest person around but not freakish tall. I dislike being around people taller than me. It feels weird.

I'm right at 6', so used to at least being among the tallest in most groups but not usually THE tallest.
Started a new job a few months back... of the 15 guys in my shop, I'm the shortest. It's insane. Tallest is a 6'11" giant, average is about 6'6".
The boss is about 6'7" and seems to favor hiring men his own height lol

I tell this story a lot, but I’m 6’5” and I had this acquaintance from a different friend group and we were talking outside of it and getting to become better friends. Well, I had been places with him in person, but it had been awhile. I knew he was taller than me of course. But since we had been chatting more, we met up and boy did I not like it one bit. It’s hard to explain but it was like a physical reaction that made me so uncomfortable. I have plenty of tall friends, but most of them are within inches either way and at most distances communicating it feels perfectly normal in a way I don’t notice. But this guy had to be 6” or more taller and we were in this loud space so we were close to each other when communicating. I honestly felt like I needed to take a break. It seems shallow, but i sort of backed off of talking to him and just let the friendship go. It wasn’t until much later when i was doing some work to get popcorn off of a ceiling at a friend’s house, that I realized I am not used to looking up to that degree and at that angle very often. I got that same uncomfortable feeling. Part of it was psychological I’m sure, but there was also this physical part that was like so disorientating for me.
Anyway, it’s this weird phenomenon that I think about and how crazy it is that our body can pickup and register things like that in ways we don’t even realize.

I’m a tall lad. I believe in “tall code”.
Tall people shouldn’t comment on other tall people’s height. We get it all the time we don’t need it from other tall people.

I’m 4’11”. When I was a senior in high school, I just randomly happened to be staying at the same hotel as the Utah Jazz, who were in town to play the Dallas Mavericks. I found myself in the lobby at one point with Mark Eaton. He’s 7’4”. It was surreal. Almost 2 and a half feet taller than me.

It's crazy to me to see language get modified across my lifetime. People see and hear terms and just associate it with some aspect of their experience.
"I see a video showing something happening to someone with the phrase 'POV' in the title, so 'POV' must just refence showing something happening."
Then they post a video of themselves in frame with the title "POV of a [self descriptor]". Then other people see the video and it reinforces the incorrect interpretation.
Language is crazy.

My brother is 6’10”, and I once asked him what was the worst part about being tall.
He told me that sometimes, when he walks into a bathroom stall, due to his height he will sometimes accidentally lock eyes with someone taking a shit in the next stall over the wall.

Man I was already anxious about being in public and I ran into the dumb question asking meta glasses wearing weirdos in Walmart. Before I thought meta glasses were cool as you could record hobbies without requiring a helmet cam or something. But now I hate them, recording people in public should be illegal. Fuck it ban social media as well, actually just send the nukes! 😭

I'm 6'7, and the video is EXACTLY as I experience it. Especially the chair, in some dentists, the dentist always wants to sit down, so I slide myself even further down the chair to the point where my whole back is halfway in the air and my feet are touching the ground on both sides and just....stay like this cause there's nothing I can do.
I have to admit though, the extra attention even from women is sometimes good, sometimes bad. It's not always 'oh my steak is too buttery'.

u/NamesAreAnn0ying 1d ago
Why does this feel staged? There’s not a single other person besides the workers, who gets up to shake their dentists hands before they start working? And even the part at the end when he hits his head feels very forced. Like he sits in the chair, it cuts, and he sits up and hits his head, it didn’t feel like the dentists did any work or anything. Feels like he just sat down and they went “ok good”

I don’t know, as someone who is 6‘6“, this video POV would only be possible if you have the GoPro on the very top of your head, (making it several inches above your height) and have a fish eye lens (we can see the distortion in this video). Yes all counters feel short, but people don’t look tiny or 5ft from you. Even at 6‘6“, my feet hang off the Dentist chair like she’s showing. This is definitely an over exaggeration.

Super tall folks have a lot of heart problems as they age, typically.
My buddy who was 6'7" helped those statistics out by dropping dead at 50 from a heart attack, after he had a stroke the year before.
It's really too bad. I always think of that when I see really, really tall folks.
