Amazon Locker. Glad I'm not short

How tall was the milkman?

Well are they any worse than the top shelf of a supermarket shelf that most customers can reach. At least the front rows anyway.

Saying that, in a supermarket there's a really good chance of finding some height assistance.

An unattended 6 foot tall locker is pretty naff.

So we know OP is short and has Globes.

thought the same as well. 5ft 8 would definitely be classed as short.

It's taller than the average height for people in the UK. So it's not short.

"people" includes women and children.

So that's cheating.

How dare women and children approach an amazon locker.

I'm fairly confident that some of the people who order items from Amazon are not men.

Also, 5'8" is ~2% shorter than average for men in the UK. Even if you consider only men, 2% under average height is not short.

I know that on OcUK all the men are 6ft+, handsome, wealthy and charming(*). But I'm talking about the UK as a whole.

You're all assuming that the OP is male, 5'8" is not short for a female

Or not:

The ONS said the average man in England was 5ft 9in (175.3cm) tall and weighed 13.16 stone (83.6kg). The average woman in England weighed 11 stone (70.2kg) and was 5ft 3in tall (161.6cm).13 Oct 2010

If that is true, then that would definitely have been a valuable point to have made in your OP, considering that on the whole females are shorter than males.

5 foot 8 isn't short for a female.

Why would it have been a valuable point to to make? The locker isn’t reading the OP and adjusting its height...

What about your friends who don't use the Amazon Lockers, are they taller than you?

Seriously? I never thought 5ft 8 was short. I guess I'm short then at 5ft 9.

7s and above won't even look twice at dudes shorter than 6 foot.
