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.

Be warned:

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

I can tell if somebody is 2 meter tall or not, and if they are 170 or 180.

Where are all these people that roamed the earth a bunch and still can't tell heights?

Unless you're the same height as me, I'll never remember how tall you are. I was mentoring some girl for half year and when she asked me to guess her height while she was sitting, I guessed ~170, turns out she was 180+.

Height just isn't something I register about a person, and I don't see why anyone would bother trying to remember stuff like that.

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.
