I are
tall... a shade under 6ft 6 to be precise. Or about 198cm in new money.

Who has been spreading rumours about my height?

Oh... and it goes well with my dress (the height that is)

Anything under 6ft 2 1/2 inches is small
that's Kaol-recommended minimum height for the League of Gigantic B3tans.

I do tend to tower over people tho, and its freaky when I meet someone taller than me

Wow
6'9 is big...

I'm assuming the teacher is male... I think a woman that tall would be very scary...

Its great being tall, except on planes, buses, trains, in cinema seats or old houses

I can't really reach much.
my boss laughs at me cos I need a stepladder to reach the drinks he keeps above the bar.

Aww
that's sweet.

I do tend to put valuable things (like food and alcohol) way out of reach of my 5ft tall housemate. But that's only because if I leave it lower he'll eat or drink it.

Plus I am very good at carrying people on my shoulders - my friends daughter is 5 - she loves being about 7 1/2 feet in the air. I'm like a carnival without the lights and the pickpockets

*bags having a shoulder ride from Zap!!!*
I usually hide my stuff down low because nobody thinks to look below eye height. Plus I can't reach it otherwise.

Quite agree there...
Not quite as tall as you (only about 6'3"), but have to stoop whenever I'm going around college... And then my doctor nags me about posture when I go and see him... Cant win either way

It is a bugger
Luckily where I am we don't have ridiculously old buildings with low roofs. Some of my friends last year, however, went to a college with horribly low ceilings.

It was very painful.

Horribly low isnt too bad,
you notice it and duck, its the doorways that are about half an inch lower than me that are the problem, just out of eyeline so I keep catching my head. This includes the door to my bathroom. Somewhat of a rude awakening in the morning
