I get more people saying to me “wow you’re very tall” to which I respond with “yes and you are very observant” which I feel is funny in the moment but is just condescending enough to make them realize it later on.
What sometimes bothers me is constantly getting asked to reach for something high because I’m tall. My Wife has always been good at that despite all the step stools we have around the house for her.
I reached a point where I now ask her to pick things up off the floor because she’s shorter than me, (she’s 5’3" I’m 6’4"). Making her closer to the ground.
Honestly, I am unoffended by that dynamic in my house. Our difference isn’t as great - my 5’5" to his 6’2" - but I just laugh and tell him to move when he tries to scrunch down to get things, and I sigh loudly and stare at him while stretching my arm up if I don’t want to climb for high things. We’re goofy like that, though, neither of us take it seriously and he teases me right back.

You could always fart and say “a lot better than it’s about to be down there”
A funnier response for more social occasions that I bust out is “thanks, I practice everyday”. Usually gets a laugh
I respond “no im not. are you okay?”
