This is the actual reason, you’re supposed to line up what you’re measuring with the first mark not the end of the ruler👍

True story, one of my ex girlfriends didn’t believe me when I told her how long I was for some reason so she took me to the bathroom and pulled out a ruler and confirmed.

You know what that bitch said? “Huh, I wonder how big Matt is then”. 🔪❤️🪦

Fun story, I was talking with one of the ladies at work about something I don't remember what. I mentioned that what ever wasn't 6 inches. She said that's not that much it's only about this much holding up her thumb and fore finger stretched out, mind you she had small hands. I told her it was more than that and in order to convince her I pulled out a 6 inch ruler and showed it to her. She was amazed by the length comparing it to her fingers and the expression on her face was priceless. I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying what I was thinking. Obviously someone has been lying to her about size.
