    I think I can estimate pretty closely the size of most things nearby.

    I find a lot of people's perceptions of size too be all over the place.

    Yes. And distance too (except when viewing things in a rearview mirror)

    I sometimes have to be reminded that a herd of cattle in a field in the distance aren't really really small but are indeed just far far away.

    Putting my arms around her waist usually does the trick.

    I've got a brilliant sense of perspective.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Size, Weight, Height, Distance etc. I am generally pretty good with all that stuff.

    when I was standing beside her and I was full of the drink she was a size 10, when we went at it (1 bottle of vodka later) she was a size 10, the next morning I knew I was shiit at judging size,

    I just wanted to call that hypnotist on Shallow Hal.

    Not really. I own this object that I'm certain is about seven or more inches long but whenever I actually measure it it's actually much smaller. Much, much smaller.

    I am very good at time. You could ask me the time any time of the day or night and in any state of mind and I would be correct to within a few minutes. Never really any use but there you go.

    If I knew this was another one of your threads I wouldn't have clicked on it, and since I did I might as well let you know that.

    If someone were to ask me how long an object was I would always underestimate it. Lets say I thought the object was about 10 inches, I wouldn't say that! I would say its about 6 inches! Great way to impress the ladies! If only for a while!

    That country or region is the size of Munster

    If you are a Brit you measure everywhere against the size of Wales

    Indeed. It's getting ridiculous. Oh well, that's what the ignore list is for.

    Yea, pretty good. Growing up flyfishing near every weekend between March and September kinda hones that shít. At least at the ranges involved within that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
