Story Quick object lesson

[KingOfRome]

I was at the hospital some time ago for a checkup

The (all female) nurses weighed me on this massive industrial size scale built into the floor with a big red X on it.

They also took my blood pressure and whatnot; everything came out perfect.

After the checkup, I got my paperwork and looked at it. Everything looked good.

Except

I had a BMI under 22

Which was strange to me, because my BMI usually hovers around 25, even 26-27 with clothes and personal items. Then I looked at my height.

On this paper, I was 6'2''.

In reality, I'm not even 5'10''.

After thinking about this for a while, I realized that they probably assumed I was 6'2'' because I look scrawny in loose-fitting clothes and not anywhere close to overweight. I actually look bigger shirtless (no gut mind you).

So the moral of this story

is

Face > Height

just be scrawny with loose-fitting clothes theory

 

[Evildоer]

My brother is completely deluded about height, he called me "tall" once, being 6ft himself and when it's clearly obvious i'm shorter than him.

did female nurses weigh you nude?

did female nurses weigh you nude?

No.

I don't remember what I was wearing, but it was probably a jacket and jeans or sweatpants. This was late in the winter. I've actually gotten even slimmer now despite staying at roughly the same weight.
