I once heard a guy I know respond to be asked how tall he was with "5 foot 12." This was also the guy who, when asked how long he thought a task would take, said: "I don't know, twenty minutes, maybe fifteen at most."

It depends on how much you're amused by people who say stupid shit all the time

If they say it in jest, absolutely.

I used to tell people I was 5’12” lol. I was a good bit taller than 5’11” but felt like a liar to say I was 6’ when I didn’t quite hit the mark. Got that extra quarter inch and now I’m a guilt free 6’ 😝

Similar here, I'm like 6'1 and ¾ and I don't like saying 6'2 even though with shoes on I'm over it.

Reminds of a dude I knew named Daryl who, when asked how long a task would take, would say something like “a maximum of fifteen to twenty minutes”.

I was looking to help a guy with some voice acting. I asked him to describe the character.

“He’s pretty lazy, but energetic.”

When I asked what kinda timeframe he had, he said,

“Take your time, but I’m pretty impatient.”

I did not take on the job.
