One really puny contractor said, "wow, you're really tall!" and I just replied with, "well, we can't all be as short as you." I'm still amazed that in today's society people are shocked to see tall women (I'm 5'11" by the way).

The ones that ask for height, shoe and hand size all at once are almost always strange guys so I'm happy to see them say this so I can avoid them. I do find guys who hear my height and say "no way, I'm 190cm tall" - then they ask you to take off your shoes as if it is some kind of a contest.
