    I was 5'11'' forever but then during my annual physical like ten years ago I was 6'0''. I asked the nurse to measure me a few more times to make sure.

    I keep hoping somehow I'll get to 6'1'' cause that would be a much faster route to reduce my BMI.

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    Dunno how much it still applies, but in my late teens I was taller in the morning because my spine extends so much while I sleep. I'd hit my head on the ceiling lamp in the morning, but in the afternoon I could fit two fingers between it and my head.

    I was 5'5" forever. And I also somehow gained an inch in the past few years. I usually measure at 5'6" now. I still say 5'5", though, because it's automatic.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    So I hit my current height ages ago and I've always said I'm 6'4", but one of my coworkers says he's 6'4" and he's at least an inch or two taller than I am. So either I was measured wrong or he was but it sucks having gone my whole life thinking I was tall only to find out I might actually be short.

    Also, sometime in the last year or two my wife and I made a lil day trip over to Hico to get some pie from the Koffee Kup (yeah, the racist diner with the racist name in a racist town) and we stopped by this chocolate shop next door and this family walked in. The wife and one of the teen daughters were average height but the father and the other teen daughter were fucking giants. The daughter looked like she was in the age range where they're all awkward legs and arms and skinny as hell, maybe 13 or 14, and she was at least two or three inches taller than me. The father was so fucking tall I had to crane my neck way back just to look up at the back of his head. Dude had a massively resonant voice too, he was attempting to quietly talk to his wife and daughters but I could hear that rumble anywhere in the store. I got a decently deep voice too but goddamn man, save some for the rest of us

    i'm 5'10" (or at least, that's what i was measured at at the doctor's office) - i was so short for most of my little life that i kind of resent getting such a growth spurt with puberty because i think i was like, maaaybe 5 foot nothing for a long time, if that. being short was great! i'm just personally glad i didn't get tall, at least (anybody 6 feet or above is a giant, sry)

    I am a mere 6'3. This would be tall anywhere but where I work, where one of my coworkers is a towering 6'7 and makes all of us look so tiny by comparison (he is also quite built ). When he's out of the room, I tower over almost all of my other coworkers like so much sky-high pale flesh.

    I’m 6’3” and enjoy saying I’m 6’ in the presence of 6’ men, to see if they freak out. I heard a comedian joke about it once. I’d say 50%-60% they lose their minds, some even demand we stop what we’re doing and find a measure

    5'4"

    Small enough that it can be a pain in the ass to find pants that I don't have to roll up the legs on, but not quite small enough that it impacts my life much beyond not being able to reach the tall shelf.

    I am the tallest member of my family at ~5'10" but also the shortest member of my wife's family, including our 14 year old niece who has already passed me
