I’m 5’11" without shoes and I can’t imagine why anyone would lie about that lol like why wouldn’t you just say your 6’ tall at that point if you’re lying anyway?
I’m 5’11 ¾”. Like, distinctly not 6’, but every doctor always puts me down as 6’ “for my ego” despite me not really caring one way or another. Well, I’ve put down 5’ 11” on official documents before, and had flags thrown up for the discrepancy. So at this point, I have to write 6’ because it’s what my medical records say, but not my actual height.

What does this mean?? You’ve had the police or government or something investigate you because of a 1-inch height difference between different records!?
I’m 6’-4.75” (how did you do that 3/4?!?) but say 6’-5”. It’s faster, a quarter inch is basically nothing, wearing socks or shoes changes it, no one is anywhere near my height to moan about it, and frankly being precise would just make me sound like more of a douche than adding ~0.25”.
I’d even rather say “juuuust under six-five” than “six-foot-four-and-three-quarters”.

Goofy story time!

Brother from 5’11 and an half till 6’00 and an half the correct rounding is 6’00.
You truly are 6’00 as far as accurate measuring is concerned.
You aren’t wrong, but my sister’s height for instance was recorded to the nearest quarter at the same pediatrician’s office.

Far less dramatic, I was questioned about it before a surgery once. “Official” probably sounded scarier than I meant it

Pretty much the story of my life, I find that more often than not everyone rounds it up to 6 for us.
I’m 5’11"and I like to say “I’m 6’ when I wear my heelys.” People aren’t ready for it. They especially aren’t ready when I actually heely away.
