I've never met anyone from Vermont or Idaho, but one out of three ain't bad.
Fun sidebar, I was in school at the same time as Skoglund. He was an engineer, like me. Saw him having to duck through doorways in Black. Now THAT's tall.
I have long, dark eyelashes.
Due this, I have had multiple women that I've never met come up to me and tell me how UNFAIR it is that I have long eyelashes and tell me about how much mascara they have to use to make their eyelashes look like mine.
So awkward.

Only one of those generalizations is true and Vermont and Idaho actually have fairly diverse economies.
My wife complains that mine are longer than hers. Luckily our kids got my lashes.
The thing about Angie's story - didn't she already talk to the guy about her little one being breast fed? So he already knew why they looked so awesome.
Yeah, he's clearly a master chess player of creepy creeper life. Thinking several steps ahead in his creepy game.
My fiances' sister comments on my long eyelashes probably every other time I see her. It is a very awkward exchange.
What are you even supposed to say to that?
If you said "Your sister likes the way they tickle her inner thigh", that would probably get her to stop bringing it up.
I have naturally curly hair, and I used to get similar comments when I was young from adult women who got perms (and probably used curlers between treatments) to keep it curled. "I wish I had your hair!" It used to annoy me, because I didn't *want* to have curly hair at the time.
Then the late-'70s afro-pick era arrived, and I was Gold.
Acorns. **** those things.
They just keep falling. I end up going out and friggin vacuuming with my shop vac under my oak trees. By my estimation (I'm accuarate AF) I vacuumed up 25,000 acorns this year. There is a pile behind my garage that could feed an army of squirrels (which coincidentally I also have).

Reading the "tall person/basketball" responses, Basketball is probably the only sport brought up by strangers in reference to body characteristics. The most likely thing I could imagine is someone making an assumption a larger-framed person was a football lineman (and I doubt that happens too often).
Think of these:
"Did you run the 800 meters?"
"Were you a softball catcher?"
"I bet you were a volleyball phenom."

If somebody has cauliflower ears I assume they wrestle.
Smacking lips and being able to hear food squishing around even in a closed mouth sends me to the moon.
My dad is the same so it's probably genetic.
I think we're all guilty of this, but when people constantly talk over each other in a conversation and it gets louder. If both are talking at the same time, neither is listening.
Just my perspective but it feels like that happens more and more, and I wonder if there's a connection to how fast we're getting information through technology with how impatient we are to simply listen to what someone says, or at least remain quiet while they talk.

You should counter with, "Interesting you mention it.. Let me tell you a story about how THAT happened."
My annoyance is negative people/people that talk behind others backs. Mostly at my job but the ladies in the office are just ruthless whether it be a coworker or someone that comes in. Be nicer people
