Funny tall comments lately

While walking into an apartment building of a friend:

Older woman, probably in her mid-eighties: "Oh my, you must be six foot!"

Me: "It's true." (this sounds like I was being sarcastic, but I wasn't.....I was actually really polite)

Woman: "Well, that's just great!"

Me: "Thanks, I think so too."

Man on the street: "How tall are you?"

Me: "Probably 5'11" or 6', I'm not sure".

Man: (Startled that I don't know my own height) "That can't be right, I'M 6'."

Man comes and stands directly next to me and sees we are eye-level

Man: "Oh, you are right."

Me: Have a nice day! (Again, this sounds sarcastic, but really, what more is there to be said?)

Can I even tell you how often I have this EXACT same conversation with men especially? Without fail, short men NEVER believe how tall I am. We need to talk more on this!
