...how people can be SO FUCKING RUDE???
I was talking to my friend this morning--he's a tall guy, about 6'4"--when this kid (he's about 11 years old) approached my friend and stared at him. My friend just stood there uncomfortably and said, "Um...is there something you need?" The kid said, "You're really really tall." My friend, slightly pissed off but more exasperated, said, "Um, yeah. I am." The kid asked, "Why are you so tall?" My friend sighed and replied, "Dunno. Tallness doesn't really run in my family, actually. It's a mystery." The kid said, "How tall are you?" "I'm 6'4"," my friend replied. The kid was silent for a moment, then said, "You're too tall," and walked off.
My friend then turned to me (who is humbled at a full foot shorter than he) and said, "You know, Zoë, I'm getting a little tired of the same line of questions, here. Always, always, it's 'How tall are you?' 'Why are you so tall?' etcetera, etcetera. It's sickening." "Mmm, I can't say I blame you," I said, with a sigh. "And I apologize for that kid's behavior. He's an idiot." He laughed. "It would seem that way. Just consider yourself lucky that you are neither too tall nor too short." "Yeah, it's one less thing for people to pick on me over." I replied.
But it's really just ridiculous! I mean, I don't hjear people picking on other people for such things as their hair being red--oh, wait, scratch that. When I dyed my hair red, people called me carrot-top for about a month, and some idiots still do. But still--how many people are picked on for having curly hair, green eyes or what have you? Height is just another physical feature that kinda can't be helped! Morons.
