Standing at a proud 6 foot 7 inches, it's basically become a daily occurrence for a stranger to approach me and strike up a conversation about my height. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself to be a fairly social person, but having the same monotonous conversation with people I'll probably never see again is irritating to say the least.

That may sound a little harsh, but I at least pretend to be interested in these awkward exchanges. I'm sure anyone else who is tall can agree with me when I say that getting the same height related questions and comments gets old...fast.

With that being said, here are eleven things that tall people get tired of hearing.

1. "WOW! You're SO tall!"

WAIT WHAT?! No way! I had no idea that I was tall! This is the first time anyone has ever told me this...ever. Gold star for you and your keen observatory skills.

2. "How tall are you?!"

5 foot 8 inches clearly. A tall 5'8".

3. "I bet you get asked about your height all the time, don't you?"

4. "Are you a basketball player?"

Plot twist: tall people can contribute to society in places other than the basketball court.

5. "So you don't play basketball? What a waste of your height."

Don't you have anything better to do with your time than to harass me? Move along.

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

Actually about the same as it is down there. Hilarious joke though, ever thought about doing stand up comedy?

7. "And you're POSITIVE you don't play basketball?"

I can 100 percent guarantee that my answer hasn't changed since you asked the exact same question not even a minute ago.

8. "Are your parents as tall as you?"

I wonder if your parents are as nosy as you.

9. "Where do you find clothes long enough?"

Oh, I don't know...this crazy obscure place called the MALL maybe?

10. "Have you ever thought about modeling?"

Please miss me with the flattery.

11. "I still think you should play basketball."

And just like that, this conversation is over.
