Don't forget bloody knees everytime they fly on a plane in coach :p

Haha true. Any time I travel in a bus or plane and mention how comfy I managed to be while sleeping people are jelly. I feel planes and coach buses are basically designed for people my height and shorter. lol.

Despite that I still manage to slam my head on the overhead compartment of a Dash-8. I always forget how low that is when I get up lol.

6'2" at least, but I haven't measured myself since sophomore year of highschool so hopefully I'm taller.

6'1" or 6'2" depending on the alignment of Pluto and Charon. I should be about 6'4", but my knees are jacked up. I am the runt of the family.

Or maybe you are just getting old enough to tell the truth about your height? I wonder if you are still lying about the size of your penis too?

I'm 5'9. Seems to be the perfect height where i'm tall enough to reach stuff but never too tall to be uncomfortable anywhere. I've never came across a downside to this height since even if I was 7' tall, I still wouldn't be able to reach my gutters to clean them.

I didn't know we had so many manlets here. :p

No, the only thing designed for manlet is the backseat of Porsche 911 or similar sports car. Those toddlers size seats that's really not seats designed to lower insurance premium.

5'9" also and thats what I always though also. Sometimes I wish I was 6' tall but that would be the absolute max.

Airplanes are the devil. I'm 6'2" and wear a size 50 suit. I take up a lot of space. :p

I feel for you guys. They are so accommodating for fat people - even to the point of giving them 2 seats a lot of times. But when it comes to people that don't have an option (height isn't a choice) - they say lol fuck you guys, hope you have bloody knee caps by the end - and I hope the person in front of you puts their seat back.

I always find it really interesting when they give the exit rows to 5'0" 15 year olds. I get jealous :p

Fortunately living in the midwest, flights are generally fairly short.
