As a female that has always been taller then my peers, there are some things and questions that get old after awhile. At age twelve being six foot I would answer the questions ; How old are you? How tall are you? Do you play basketball? With a smile. In my mid thirties, I have to say these questions are much more annoying now. I will still answer the How tall are you question when asked but in general I hate when I answer the Do I play basketball question as No I do not, the asker gets offended as if how dare I not.
Here are the top five things in general that annoy me.
– Being asked if I play basketball or volleyball.
When I was a kid I played basketball for fun, however when I entered high school I lost the interest. There are a lot of shorter females that are wonderful basketball players. A persons height shouldn’t determine whether they are good at a sport.
– Shopping for jeans/leggings/pants
I hate shopping for clothes, especially pants. I am 6’2″ and plus size, it is never a pleasant experience. They are always to short or long enough and tight. I wish clothing companies would get with the program and realize women are not all cookie cutter sizes.
– Being asked how tall I am and/or Being told I am tall
I usually answer how tall I am when asked unless I don’t feel like being bothered. Sometimes I’m in a bad mood and don’t want to answer the height question, I don’t owe anyone anything. On the flip side someone stating I am tall is annoying as hell. When I am in a really bad mood I may ask you how short you are.
– After stating my fear of heights, being asked why I’m scared as I’m so tall.
This question is so dumb I’m not even going to explain it.
– Hitting my head on low ceilings, ceiling fans
If you know your house as ceiling fans and/or low ceilings, how about you warn me instead of letting me knock myself out.
Short entry, my laptop is officially dead but I just got a kindle fire. Planning on keeping the site updated
