That 6ft seems a lot shorter than I thought.

    Have you seen the stickers businesses put down on the floor to guide people about social distance? Of course you have!!

    What have I learned from this? That 6ft is way shorter than I would have thought. A foot is a the size of a standard ruler, right? And a yardstick is 3 rulers righ? So, the stickers should be 2 yardsticks, but they don't even look that far apart. Hmm...

    so, are you implying that when some of us claim that it's 9 inches, that we aren't being completely honest?

    Are you claiming that there are subjective measurements being done?
