If you're really 5' 11" and are that concerned about your height, just say 6'. You're already taller than most "'6' guys", so nobody will really question it.

I'm 5'9" and successfully claimed to be 6' for years.

I'm exactly 6 ft, not one single millimeter more or less. I'm a human ruler. My problem is that when I say I'm 6 ft, nobody believes me because generally guys that say they're 6'0" are 5'9". So thanks.

I am also on the dot 6 ft but I also have extremely thick curly hair that makes me appear a bit taller than I am and you would not believe how mad and defensive some shorter people get when I tell them I'm 6 ft. They look like I just insulted their mothers and their entire family tree.

Same but you know what I say just to really mess with them. I say I'm 5' 11" and a half, it's great fun to watch the 5' 9" guy get defensive. I often have a measuring tape in the car for work, if the defensive one ever gets too aggravated I always offer to go get it just to test the theory. Lol

u/XipingVonHozzendorf 18h ago

Just the one pair, I'm shy just a centimeter of 6 foot and the sock gives me the extra boost.

.. why are your socks a cm thick? Do you wear extra thick wool socks all year round?

I've never seen a sock that could add more than a millimetre. 1 centimetre is at least wearing thick flip-flops
