My older kid is 5'10" and if they had $1 for every time they'd heard "oh, you can't be 5'10", you're the same height as I am and I'm six feet tall" they'd have their next rent payment, I think.

6'2" better than an even 6', because I have to spend an inordinate time assuring people I'm legit 6' because of all the 5'10" claiming to be 6'!
I am curious the details of this. I imagine you stood next to the height scale, your jaw dropped, slipped on the monocle, and tried to brace yourself.
