tall short dissonance

[Abitrary]

Imagine someone you know who is about 5 foot tall.

Now imagine someone you know who is about 6 foot tall.

Now imagine them standing next to each other, and what is the imagined height difference?

It's weird, isn't it?

It's weird, isn't it?

It's about 12" usually. Not sure where you're going with this but will be interested to see where you end up.

No, I 'see' a giant beside a dwarf - but then I've had one ale too many!!

I provide the ideas longers, I've got the notion. Just wait till someone turns up with the potion.

I see that as well, and that is what I am getting at. I'm in the middle so I can judge this sort of stuff as well.

I know a girl from the supermarket who is 5 foot tall, and lots of people who are about 6 foot.

But it looks like a metre in difference.

One of the weirdest ****ing things I've ever thought of, I can tell you

 

[mondobongo]

Initially I visualised giant and dwarf, then brain kicks in with the gap is not that big!!

 

[rich p]

I once got my knob out at the chiropodists and he said, "that's not a foot"

And I said, "no, but it's a good 8 inches"

B-boom

What would that be in ounces?

 

[buggi]

me and my work colleague Jaimina!!! she is about 5ft, i'm 6ft and we looked in the mirror and she really does look half my height. we were getting strange looks on the tube the other day!

worse still she wears flat, i wear heels.

 

[mickle]

My willy is twelve inches long but I don't use it as a rule.

 

[Amanda P]

I'm 6 foot.

Mrs Uncle Phil is 4'11".

She almost fits in my pocket.

Compact for easy storage.

Somewhere to place your pint in a busy pub.

Somewhere to place your pint in a busy pub.

or whilst otherwise occupied

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

I'm just shy of 6ft and Mrs Sharky is 4ft 11, you just get used to the fact that she needs a step to get on the toilet
