Tall Doctor Just Can't Help But To Flaunt His Superiority

Here we have one doctor who appears to be in the "tall enough to control the room just by entering" realm, and a much-shorter colleague. In the first ten seconds of the video, the tall guy makes a crack about the shorter guy's height. In my opinion, the shorter guy reacted like a lot of us do, in that we have this annoyed and weary reaction. Notice how when the short guy goes to make an insult of his own, the tall guy just out-talks him. This is very common. In the "Just Another Day On The Job," thread, I spoke of a co-worker who insulted my height immediately upon me entering the office for the first time, and when I responded, he was talking and holding court with everyone else about the brilliance of what he just said, thus, no one heard my comeback. We're not supposed to defend ourselves at all, and many times when we do, the tall guy will control the room to the degree where no one else will even listen to our comebacks. Anyway, the first few seconds of this video show that if a tall guy wants to break the ice in some way, he won't hesitate to point-out a short guy's height. While this in of itself is not the worst case of heightism ever, it still shows the exact type of stuff short guys are expected to endure any time a tall guy wants to show how funny he is, break the tension, flaunt his superiority, or anything else he wants to do to establish the fact that he is "more of a man" than any short guy who happens to be in the room. They see us as props to use for their own gain, and we're expected to just endure this without complaining. For those who fall for the tall man's lie that comments such as these are "just a joke," even if that is true, the tall man's dismissal of the short man's comeback is far from a joke, and using the short man as a prop is not a joke either, so pardon me for not laughing at the tall man's completely "original" comedic brilliance.
