My wife and kid can always find me in a store, they just have to look up and there’s my head. I’m often called up to fetch items on high shelves for grannies who never made it past 5 foot.
My youngest daughter is tall. When I would drop her off at kindergarten, the teachers would tell me that “this door is only for kindergartners. The other grades go in the other door.” I had to tell them several times, that she IS in kindergarten. She was almost a foot taller than the other kids.
I am 181 cm and the Mrs is 180. The girls are 179ish at last measurement and will probably grow a little. And having red hair also helps them stand out a bit. It is nice to stand out sometimes. It can be difficult to find good clothes for taller women and I am sure some of their shoes are from the men’s. They have wide feet for women. I don’t know who they get that from as I wear a D width and their mum has normal sized feet for her size. OT, Shaquille O’Neill has shoes that are bigger than regulation size basketballs. Size 22, but I could be incorrect on that.
I’ve always been tall, I’m taller than both my parents but I have 1 brother even taller than me. In college I was head and shoulders above all my friends, one time at a friends wedding a couple other friends came up to me in the crowded church lobby and asked if I knew where another friend was, I looked around the room and pointed out where he was. It was only after they left that I realized I’d stood out to them in the crowd and they realized that I could make out everyone in the crowd.
Many, many years ago, a bunch of us had in a booth at Piccolo’s, eating pizza well past midnight. Suddenly, four of the tallest women I had ever seen, well past six feet, walked in and grabbed a table in the center of the room, within a few feet of the booth we were in. Shortly after that, a short, black guy, maybe 5’6" came in who bounced around talking to anybody and everybody he walked b,y, ending up at the girls’ table, as they were by far the most attractive women there and I just said to my buds, “watch this”. We were so close that we could hear every word and in a few minutes he asked the girls what their names were. Only one volunteered and in a voice much colder than ice, said “Maggot”. "Your name is Maggot? Never heard that before. What’s your last name? “Weyerhaeuser”. “Your name is Maggot Weyerhaeuser?” “Yeah, you got a problem with that?” Flustered a bit, but only for a slight moment, “no, no, just that is kind of a different name. Maybe we could go out sometime.” She replied, “No, you’re way too short for me.” “Not that short. Stand up and I’ll show you”. The girl stands up and she is an easy 6’5" and Mr. Smooth looks like a midget. Without missing a beat, he asks, “do you like basketball?”
