You sir, have one strike remaining.

[PepperElf]

Eh. Probably not as tall as one of the guys I saw at work. He had to duck his head just to go through the doors. I think his entire head was higher than the door frame.

but ... seriously what was he thinking? Picking on someone about height... while that person is handing him extremely hot liquids? oy.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

Once when I worked at the games store there was a REALLY tall guy that came in. I got really curious so I said: "sir, if you don't mind my asking how tall are you?"

The answer: 7 feet

I guess since he was so big he got asked this a lot and was totally cool about answering but if he didn't want to tell me I would have just let him be.

But when they throw the "Why don't you get a haircut?" that they hit major rudeness.

Brilliant idea! Long hair = haircut. Golly gee, why didn't I ever think of that??!!!

How tall are you?

To which you reply ... "Tall enough to know better ..."

My ex boyfriend was 6'8'', 350 lbs, martial arts instructor/ bouncer. I'm 5'6'' myself.... He used to use my head as an armrest. I always wanted to stand him next to my best friend's ma and take a picture... She's 4'10'''

Ok.... Maybe I'm twisted.

[PepperElf]

woops my bad, i thought you were making his coffee. even better now taht i re-read it... very silly of him to taunt someone who's getting a cup of hot coffee tho. cos hey, you might trip over him if he's that small and woops... coffee hat for him

I wonder if he's any relation to that lady that I saw in a parking lot one day about 6 years ago. I was coming out of the grocery story, and this old lady was coming out of the pizza place right next door to it. I thinking she was either drunk and / or high, because out of nowhere, she says 'I got a grinder for lunch!' I'm thinking to myself, 'good for you, lady'. She then asks me what size my chest was. I was a little shocked, and said the first think that popped into my head, which was 'I'm not sure', and got out of there.

I made the mistake of telling my co-workers about it. For weeks afterwards, they teased me about it, saying that they just saw a lady in a red car (the color of the car she was driving) circling the lot with a measuring tape.

Suck wasn't in the question, but in the asking. Probably wouldn't have been a problem without all the staring and blurting. With height, I've asked "Can I ask, how tall are you?" especially if someone is towering over me (I'm 6'2", so it's not often someone tops me by a large amount.)

I do the same thing, Jack, and I'm 6'5" (what can I say, I have good genes!). Usually I follow up by informing the person that I'm not used to having to look up to people, which traditionally gets a laugh out of the customer. I think the only time I've asked a stranger that was when I was a teenager

Well, I'm obviously not you Crazy, but I don't really see much of a hassle with it... other than hearing it too freaking many times...

I have hair down to my belt, so I constantly get "How long have you been growing it?", to which I usually say something like "2 feet" (just to confuse them ).

But when they throw the "Why don't you get a haircut?" that they hit major rudeness. Of course, "Why don't I break your kneecaps?" usually gives them a hint they've crossed a line

AWESOME response. Good for a laugh too; I've got a regular customer at Wendy's who has his hair about the same length too; guy is extremely friendly and, I'm guessing, is one hell of a salesman. Trying to picture him saying that just about got me rolling on the floor!

I always enjoyed my grandfathers response to 'how's the weather up there?'. 'Spit in your eye and call it rain.'

I am SO stealing that on bad days

[iradney]

TTO is 6'10". In the town where he grew up, people would stop him and TAKE PICTURES.
Luckily people don't do that anymore...
CL, I would've given that guy a wedgie and asked "Why do you have that funny face???"

If it wasn't for my job I might have done!

I'll trade you, crazylegs. Although I'd prefer if strangers didn't really talk to me at all if it could be avoided, I'd rather be asked my height (or lackthereof) than be asked my bra size one more time.

I do not know what makes some guys think it's so appropo to gawk at my chest in public and then have the nerve to try to ask me how big they are. Especially when I'm not wearing anything revealing.

I get asked by women as well as men. If asked by a gawker I sometimes get snarky and tell them "bigger than you'll ever get, " or "How big are YOUR boobs?" (CAuse you know they usually have man boobs.)
Females I usually answer if its just curiosity and not asked in any rude tone.

[Megg]

My brother is 7'2". He got so fed up with people asking him that! I told him he should just get "7 feet" tattooed on his forehead. Good thing he didn't, because he grew 2 more inches! I feel kinda bad for him, must be hard.

My son, who turns 16 in March, just surpassed my mother in height. My mother who, according to her driver's license, is 5'12".

I know exactly how you feel, blas! I'm 5 feet tall and I have double d cups. I'm curvy, but my stomach doesn't stick out farther than my chest so I look skinnier than I really am.

They gawk and they stare. When I enter an all man environment(like a geek store) groups of them will go silent. And stare. It's happened before, just like a movie!

When I need to get past a perv at wal-mart, they didn't even notice that I said, "excuse me..." They're too busy gawking!

But I'm lucky no one has asked me how big they are just out of the blue. Usually, I have my friends with me, or Kevin(bf). Kevin may not be huge, but you can tell by looking at him that he's grumpy and mean. Most of my friends though, ARE huge. No one has had the balls to ask of their size before.

*sigh* Yeah. I'm average height, but have a liiiiittle bit larger breasts than the average woman (one day I'll take the kitchen knife and...). I know they're hard to miss, but keep your eyes on the road if you're driving. Oh, and the exact size really is none of your business, unless you tell me how many centimetres you're lacking when compared to the average man - then I could perhaps consider telling you a rough estimate: "something between A and double X".

So, good job, crazylegs.

[blas]

Yep. I'm 5'3 but have a smaller frame......I keep in really good shape and my boobs are bigger Cs. I think it's an optical illusion because when I look at them naked, they don't look all that big...but if you look at how small the rest of me is....unfortunately nothing I wear can cover up how large they look.

And then there's my rear....which is another story....not as well endowed as in the front, but my rear does stick out.
