This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't mean remembering, I mean estimating, in person.
If a person tells me they are 190 and they are actually 185 I can tell. Can't you?
No but it's because I'm American and those numbers mean nothing to me.
My height is 192 so 190 vs 185 would be easy to tell, but once you reach ~182 and below it's all a wash. 180 vs 175 I wouldn't have a clue. I was off by more than 10cm in my estimation when they were sitting in front of me, and it was a person I knew well.
Have you tried having them to actually stand up?
She refused until I guessed... She even had the gall to act insulted when I was wrong
Guessing people's height also isn't something I do regularly. Might be why I suck at it.
