1. "You're tall!"

2. "How tall are your parents?"

Well, based on how genes and Punnett squares work they could pretty much be any height and pass on the "tall gene", but when I tell them my dad is 6'7, their jaws usually drop.

3. "Do you play basketball?"

Believe it or not, not all tall people play basketball. Yet, every tall person has been asked this question too many times to count.

4. "What about volleyball?"

Especially being a female, once you tell them that you don't play basketball, the next question is always volleyball.

5. "OMG my (person they know) is (height above 5'10)!"

This is one of my personal favorites because someone telling you they know another tall person, and I never ever know how to reply. Smile and nod.

6. "Is your boyfriend taller than you?"

I happened to secure one of the 6ft plus men as my boyfriend, but apparently, not everyone is as fortunate because there's a wiki-how to date a man shorter than you.

7. "How's the weather up there?"

This might be the oldest tall person joke in the book, the most unoriginal thing you could say, AND the most popular comment made.

8. "Hey shorty!"

Hey, I see what you did there, I am tall so you called me shorty. That's very funny and original.

9. "How tall are you?" followed up with "No way, you don't look (your height)!"

Yes way! Yes, I really am the height that I was when you asked, and PLEASE don't ask me to stand back to back and get measured.

10. "You make me feel so short!"

How does one reply to this? You make me feel so tall? Smile and nod? Apologize? 18 years later and I still haven't come up with a good one.
