12 Things Tall People Are Sick And Tired Of Hearing
NY Daily News

If you have someone tall in your life you have probably said one of these ridiculous things to them. If you're tall then you have definitely been told some of these things. Height is more marginalized than meets the eye. Here are some things that tall people are tired of hearing:

1. "You're so tall!"

Wow, thank you for the newly found information that I haven't heard before. I don't know if I would have figured out how tall I was without you.


2. "Do you play basketball?"

No, no I don't.


3. "How's the weather up there? Haha"

...


4. "You should get in the back of the photo so everyone can fit."

Okay, but what if I don't want to? What if I don't want someone covering my chin in a picture because I'm too tall to stand in the front?


5."Where do you buy jeans for your long legs?"

The giraffe store obviously.


6. "You must be so good at sports with those legs"

No, I mostly use them to walk to the fridge.


7. "You have such long legs! Good for modeling."

Too bad you need more than long legs to model, you jerk.


8. "Your legs--"

Go ahead. Do It.


9. "How tall are you?"

There are only a certain amount of times a person can answer before it drives them crazy.


10. "You make me feel sooo short."

Um, I'm sorry... I think.


11. "I wish I was as tall as you. Not as tall. But you know, tall."

That's actually kinda rude.


12. "Your parents must be so tall!"

You don't know my parents.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
