Change this to a female and pretty much the same type of convo with a few co-workers... (imgur.com)

I have this up in my cube at work. I also have this one.

[–]Security_Bard6'9" | 206 cm 6 points7 points ago

People had this same reaction when they first met my girlfriend. She comes up to just above my elbow though, so its not quite this bad.

[–]celticmagnum6'4 | 193 cm 19 points20 points ago

My name is Justin, and after this comic came out, everyone started referring to me as tall justin. It's kind of a nick name now

[–]Nomoloz6'5" 7 points8 points ago

You're not alone brother.

As a fellow tall person and Justin I understand your pain.

[–]caldnar6'5" | 195 cm 5 points6 points ago

Just another tall Justin signing in.

We should form a club or something.

[–]gerrettheferrett6'2" | Nord 2 points3 points ago

Fuck. All of you are tall.

(Justin here as well. Couldn't resist.)

[–]SycoJack6'4" 0 points1 point ago

The fuck is with all the Justins?

I'm just a Jack. Or maybe a Daniel. Or both. Or neither.

[–]last_to_know 1 point2 points ago

I'm another one at 6'4"....weird

[–]Shidell6'6" 0 points1 point ago

Another Justin checking in.

[–]Bluefastakan6'5" | 197 cm 28 points29 points ago

I have a friend that I have known for the better part of a decade. Every time we hang out, without fail, she insists in looking up at me and saying, "You're a tall bastard."

I have decided the next time she says it I will counter with, "And you're an itty bitty bitch." All in good fun.

[–]mattinsf6'7" | 201 cm 12 points13 points ago

That b-bomb makes for a risky joke with ze ladies. Best of luck man.

[–]DrinkUpGorgeous6'0" | 183 cm 4 points5 points ago

eh it's alright.. she sounds like a bitch anyway.

[–]Bluefastakan6'5" | 197 cm 6 points7 points ago

To be fair, she is kind of a bitch. But an entertaining bitch. Like LaFayette from True Blood.

[–]gabriot6'5" | 195 cm 4 points5 points ago

If I had a nickel for every time this comic get's posted to this sr...

[–]Bluefastakan6'5" | 197 cm 11 points12 points ago

...well?

[–]gabriot6'5" | 195 cm 17 points18 points ago

I'd probably have around a dollar

[–]bettorworse76" just like Abraham Lincoln 4 points5 points ago

35 cents.

[–]Lister_of_Smegg 1 point2 points ago

other side, Al

[–]ChaplinStrait 2 points3 points ago

Sigh sometimes I wish I were tall just so I could fit it around here. I love tall people....I'm looking for a guy that's at least a head taller than me....

[–]ntotheqsix'four" | oneninteythree cm | OH 1 point2 points ago

Stilts work wonders my man. Come join us.

[–]ChaplinStrait 0 points1 point ago

Can I really? My dream comes true...

[–]ArbitraryHippo6'00 | 183? cm 0 points1 point ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this as a goal. It's a tad difficult to find men tall enough, though.

[–]armchair_viking6'8" | 203 cm 2 points3 points ago

Not here, it isn't. You'd look normal or short compared to many of us. Road trip!

[–]armchair_viking6'8" | 203 cm 0 points1 point ago

I meant on r/tall. I was implying that you meet someone on here and take a road trip. Sorry for the confusion. I live in Memphis around normal size people too.

[–]ArbitraryHippo6'00 | 183? cm 0 points1 point ago

Where is this magical land of tall people, and how do I get there? :O

[–]Amunium6'7" | 201 cm 5 points6 points ago

Go to the airport, find the first plane to the Netherlands or Scandinavia.

[–]Amunium6'7" | 201 cm 0 points1 point ago

You're one to complain. I've only ever met two women who were taller than me.

[–]relevantusername-I'm loads of cm, like more than 3 even 0 points1 point ago

You've met two women taller than 6'7"?! I have yet to meet one person that height...

[–]ChaplinStrait -2 points-1 points ago

That would prove difficult. I'm only 5'6".... :l

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs -2 points-1 points ago

That's really weird, considering my name is Justin and I am taller than most people in my age group.

[–]CognitoCon 5 points6 points ago

That's not that tall for 16, no offense of course.

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs -1 points0 points ago

I'm taller than the average full-grown adult, male and female.

[–]CognitoCon 3 points4 points ago

I'm not going to argue with you over opinions, but I wouldn't consider anyone at 5'10" to be tall unless they were really young.

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs -1 points0 points ago

I am right in the middle of a huge growth spurt (I bloomed late) and right now I am taller than a significant amount of the other people in my school.

[–]bettorworse76" just like Abraham Lincoln 1 point2 points ago

Don't let your mother tell you that she's going to "let" you buy your own clothes from now on.

/That's how they get you.

[–]Velocirapture_Jesus6'4" | 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Where do you live? Because in the UK 5'10 is about average for anyone below 40.

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs 0 points1 point ago

I'm in the US, where the average height for white males is 5'9".

[–]bettorworse76" just like Abraham Lincoln 0 points1 point ago

Actually, it's 5'10"

/I hoping it wasn't, so I could blame jockeys or the Mexicans! Just kidding, I love the Mexicans.

//You little shrimp

[–]mguzman0115'10" | 1,780,000,000 nm 0 points1 point ago

Oh man, if that's true then I have surpassed my race by 5 inches at age 15.

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs 0 points1 point ago

My sources say otherwise: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/average-height-of-a-man.html

[–]Skitrel6'6" | 198 cm 4 points5 points ago

Better source

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=average+height+adult+male+US

NHANES study weighted for US demographics.

[–]Ejvind6'5" | 195 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, in a nice way - you might be taller then your age group, but not by much. Maybe an inch. I was 6'2" at 16, and I'm not much older now. I know there was people here a lot taller at that age - just being above average doesn't seem 'tall' to me, I think you need to be at least 6 inches above average.

[–]Thatquietchick5"10 0 points1 point ago

What part of the US do you live in? I admit I'm about the same height as a lot of boys at my school, but a good chunk of them are taller than me. As in I could pass 9 or 10 on my way to each class.

[–]LessieHippopotamus5'10.5" | 178 cm | 16 yrs 0 points1 point ago

I'm in New England.

[–]sonalis10925'8" | 172 cm -2 points-1 points ago

sees the link is a rehosted version of this

ಠ_ಠ

[–]bettorworse76" just like Abraham Lincoln 4 points5 points ago

Pretty sure everybody knows "Cyanide and Happiness" by now. It's like the Ford Motor Company of comics!

[–]yetanotherx6'5" | 196 cm 3 points4 points ago

Especially that comic... on this subreddt.
