This story just read “she was tall: about 5 foot 8” and I was like
Humans outside your part of Europe generally aren’t as tall as y'all are
I guess so but then i wouldn’t really know. I’ve only left the country once or twice, and that was before I’d finished growing.
No, I dunno why this person is lying to you but 5'8 isn’t particularly tall. Like, that’s just an average general height for most people. If it was like ‘she was tall: about 6 foot 3’ that would make more sense

Acoffee shop owner once told me he raised their prices because their electric bill went “through the roof” when people with laptops started using their (three) outlets. So I looked it up: it costs $8 A YEAR to keep one whole laptop charged. He could have off set that (maybe) 50 bucks A YEAR by replacing his lightbulbs with compact fluorescents.
