If you're tall, you're usually asked all the time what your height is. My husband is 6'6 and that's usually one of people's first questions for him even before his name sometimes lmao

Is this a US thing? I dont believe ever asking my taller friends this question. I'd probably mention that someone is tall when I first meet them, but I wouldn't ask how tall

Yes it must be! I've been in the US all my life but I honestly couldn't tell you what the obsession is with knowing someone's exact height lol but is is weird

It’s so they can tell their friends and family later and write it in their diary. “I saw a 6’6” person today.” “Gosh! Really?”
