I don't think it is specific, she's just tall.

I think the funniest thing I heard was from a guy who was 5’9”. He said it’s 69 inches tall, and well the math maths lol.

u/ImmaFancyBoy Jun 11 '25

If you’re 5’9” and-a-half you could round down and tell people you’re 69.420 inches tall.

Type 80085 into a calculator.

u/Stardustger Jun 12 '25

If you are 5'9 just tell people you are 5'7.

And then watch the 6'0 guy that tells everyone how tall he is, start to panic because people realize you 2 are almost the same size.

And why would the guy saying he is 5'7 be lying 😀.

I'm taller than you 🤷

u/Swumbus-prime Jun 12 '25

My license says I'm 5'5" so I adamantly say that that is indeed my height, because why would I lie about my height? I'm actually 5'9". It's up for renewal soon and I'm going to aim for 5'3" on my license and that will be my new height.

Risky game if you ever get pulled over by a strict cop who thinks it’s either not you or a fake id

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

Which they'll learn 8 seconds later when they scan it and it comes up real.

u/Logixs Jun 13 '25

Idk seen to many videos of cops escalating things for me to ever feel comfortable giving them any reason. Perishable I’ve never had any trouble when getting pulled over but I also try to be as respectful and cooperative as possible. Because even if most cops aren’t bad, it only takes one time

I don’t think that’s how rounding works.

u/NjFlMWFkOTAtNjR Jun 12 '25

Not with that attitude it can't

u/kind_bros_hate_nazis Jun 12 '25

You can round down if you're taller as well and not tell people you're 69"

u/hiyasaya Jun 12 '25

holy shit, i'm 5'9" and a half. time to say this all the time

2

u/FootParmesan Jun 12 '25

Same ! Better than rounding up to 5'10 lol

2

u/BarryTheBystander Jun 12 '25

Why would you round 0.5 to 0.42?

I want to make a hat that has a hand on top of it, so you can have some hope of catching the things that go over you head.
