You sir, have one strike remaining.

[Heatherina]

Yes, really--how tall are you?

I think we have collectively blown through our three strikes.

I'm an inch shy of 6 feet...well I'm probably 6 feet...I make myself feel better by saying 5'11. :P

[Misanthropical]

How about next time tell the person "taller than you"!

[Kiwi]

so... how tall ARE you crazy

*DUCKS*

EDIT blast you beat me by like 2 minutes!

[Aramika]

So..... how tall are you?

*ducks and runs away*

So, there I was getting my caffeine fix this morning (caffe mocha, two of the essential food groups! ) when I was waiting for my coffee to be made.

As I stood waiting I became aware (as you do) that a chap (about 45 or so) was looking at me rather intently. I stole a glance in case I knew him (I didn't) and looked away, after all it's rude to stare. Out of my peripheral vision I could see he was still looking so I looked back at which point this, and only this, came out of his mouth.

"How tall are you?"

Strike one.

I replied alone the lines that it's none of his business and that's a personal question to ask a complete stranger and then I looked away.

Moments later I realised he was *still* looking at me and as I turned my head back he said "seven foot?", at this point I glared (children have been known to run from it) and he said "Well, you're very tall".

Strike Two

At this point I was getting a little tired of him and replied "And you're very rude, quite frankly it's none of your business".

Thankfully his coffee was ready at this point and he picked his cups up, if there was a third round I probably wouldn't have been polite in the slightest.

ARGH!!!!
