    There's a new guy at work who is maybe 5'8" and he's great.

    We don't work together directly though. Someone asked me if I met the "new guy" and my response was "oh, the short guy? yes".

    And then I felt bad.

    If you're a shorter guy or bald, that's often the first thing someone uses to describe you.

    • I'm... short?

      Are you Dutch?

      or fat
      or hairy
      or anything that might be helpful in identifying the person in question

    • I wonder if people refer to you as the shallow, insecure guy? ;)set
    • I'm just joking, it's just human nature. If you're shorter than other people, or if you're the only bald one, or the only black guy...set
    • ... That'll be how your described. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.set
