Generally I stay away from "difficult" people. Life is short...

It's a stereotype for a reason. And you're right, height doesn't have much to with anything, unless you don't have any..

The Financial Perks of Being Tall

Yep, those poor short guys get screwed over at every turn...and then folks wonder why they seem a bit annoyed by it. A tall guy is "assertive" while the short guy has a "Napoleon complex".

How would you know about being assertive at 5'2" tall?

But at 6'3" I'll never be able to pursue my dream of being a professional jockey.

I would just be calling you tiny.

About as much as you would about your feet, Baby Huey. When you could still look down and see them, I probably was still 5’2” and in elementary school.

It cuts both ways.

I'm 6'1" and 260 lbs. I have been accused by a coworker of trying to "physically intimidate" him. Never mind at the incident in question he was standing up and screaming (at a third party, who had done nothing to deserve it) while I remained seated and calmly asked him to regain composure.

I'm sure you could just overlook him.

Best

You probably did physically intimidate him. He was probably tortured in high school by a guy (19 yr old senior) just your size...when he was a 120 lb, 14 year old freshman.

Start calling him "Little Marco" but with his name.
