In that case you have to say "no thank you" every time someone new comes along and they decide they need to be helpful without any indication from you. And that can get irritating really fast. Imagine how sick tall people must be of being asked their height. Now add to that pity and condescension.
- Cogito 12y agoAs a tall person, I actually rather quite like it! I think that life is more enjoyable when you adhere to some simulacrum of Postel's Law: TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. That is, when I am conservative in how I interact with others, and assume others are trying to be the same with me, it is rare to experience any sort of personal friction with them. I guess this also relates to my belief that I am primarily responsible for if I am happy or not.
