When you realize you are, in fact, short

At 6 ft 7 inches, most people are shorter than me, yet somehow my wife manages to lose me in most stores.
On the rare occasions that I meet someone who is taller than I am, that's impressive. I used to live in the same neighborhood as a couple of professional football players, one was 6 ft 9, the other 6 ft 10, was always interesting to run into one of them.
