    I’m 5’11" without shoes and I can’t imagine why anyone would lie about that lol like why wouldn’t you just say your 6’ tall at that point if you’re lying anyway?

      Goofy story time!

      I’m 5’11 ¾”. Like, distinctly not 6’, but every doctor always puts me down as 6’ “for my ego” despite me not really caring one way or another. Well, I’ve put down 5’ 11” on official documents before, and had flags thrown up for the discrepancy. So at this point, I have to write 6’ because it’s what my medical records say, but not my actual height.

        Pretty much the story of my life, I find that more often than not everyone rounds it up to 6 for us.
