1. How tall are you?
This question is the entire reason behind why I know exactly how tall I am. This is how most peopl actually introduce themselves. Seriously? You can't bother to even ask me how my day is before asking me how tall I am? How about this, I'm tall enough to know this question is ANNOYING.
2. Do you get asked that a lot?
Hmmm ... let me think. I'm above average height ... which most people find strangely fascinating ... so, YES I DO! I'd like to call this question a "WHY IS THIS EVEN IMPORTANT??" one.
3. Do you play volleyball/basketball?
Besides the fact that I actually do play volleyball and love it, this is another, "WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??" question. Why do you feel the need to know this? Honestly, if you ask a tall person this, it's like asking a woman if she's in the kitchen all day. Or ask someone that's Asian if they are amazing at math, because more than likely, IT'S JUST A STEREOTYPE!!!
4. How's the weather up there?
It's the exact same as yours down there.
5. Is your boyfriend taller than you?
Another, "WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??" question. What if he is? Okay, that's fine. What if he isn't? Are you going to start a riot in the streets and demand we break up? If I love someone shorter than me, why should you judge me? Is your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband/partner shorter or taller than you? But it doesn't matter if I ask because you're not tall, right? Yeah, that's what I thought.
6. Hey can you get that thing for me off the top shelf?
Yes I can. Will I? Probably, but maybe I'm in the middle of doing something important. Maybe find a step stool? Have you ever thought about that?
7. What size shoe do you wear?
Yet another, "WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??" question. I think this one tops all others though. My shoe size? Really? Are you planning on buying me a new pair or something? Because in that case, I might hold off on using my size 12 to kick you in the butt.
8. Why are you always walking so fast?
I'm sorry, do my legs that are up to my neck bother you with their long strides? Maybe they enjoy being stretched every now and then after being cramped in tiny cars, desks and other small spaces. The more important question is why are you not keeping up?
9. Where do you get all of your height from?
I'm sorry people, but I do not have the time to teach you all simple biology. Here's is the dumbed-down version. There is this thing called genetics. If my father, mother or anyone they are related to happens to be tall, chances are that I too will be tall! WOW!!
10. Can you please give me some of your height?
If it was scientifically possible, then YES! I would gladly give you some of my height, that way you would constantly be bombarded with all of these ridiculous questions. Sadly, I cannot. So until then, please quit bothering me!
By the way, I'm actually quite nice in person, but if you were constantly asked these same ten questions, you might need to vent to!
