So, there is this guy at work, I am 175 cm barefoot and usually go to work with normal shoes that give 1 cm at most, and this guy always wears formal shoes and he seems to be around 180. I always thought that his height is ideal for me and sth that I would achieve after adding 5 cm. So yesterday, on casual friday , I noticed he wore sneakers and he was considerably shorter than me, 3-4 cm I would sayuu shorter. I think his formal shoes give about 2.5 cm + he wears lifts of 5 more and he looks 3-4 cm taller when he is 3-4 cm shorter. And I asked me , whats up man, I thought you were taller than me. And then 2 guys heared the conversation and went to him and said, o yeah I definitely think you are taller before, and then they asked a girl to share her observation, she said normally she wears 6 cm heels and they are about the same and she thought its weird that today she doesnt wear lifts and they are... about the same, so he was forced to admit that he had lifts and afterwards he wrote me on FB that I ruined his career at that company and that everybody from now on would be focused on his insecurities. I didnt really want to be like that, I just asked him and the others overheared and everything started.
Thats like I think lifts dont really add value. It is very easy for people to find out.

Be ready for his epic revenge as soon as he spot your incoming eye color change 
Other than that, what did that guy expect? Going to his usual workplace being 8 cm "shorter" without no one noticing? He should not blame you, pretty sure everyone else would have notice it sooner than later.
Man, I notice these all the time. You should never call the person out. We know better then anyone else how it feels to have this insecurity. The other people definitely noticed but they did not want to start this conversation. It's uncomfortable and you know the truth so it's just rude. That being said, if he was an . Job well done.
I think the focus should be on what a d*ick move that was by OP... Considering you should now the possible trauma people face with height...
And before you whine, it wasn't bad that you called him out on it per say (depending on your intention originally)...but that you called him out in manner in which other people are now aware of his insecurity and will probably thinks he's gonna be ridiculed for it...
what an move.
all because he was (or wasn't...) taller than you? wtf?
Not sure if OP is even telling the truth cuz OP is weird.. but his story is mark of a giant douchebag.

This guy is insulting everyone in the forum and he doesn't get banned.
I know a guy who is wearing lifts.. He is one of my best friends... I never ever talked with him about it or even hinted at it.
That was a jerk move.... Not just because of other people listening but because you talked with him about his insecurity... I wonder how you would feel if people will tell you "hey you eyes are no longer dark"... I am sure you will be happy to tell them that you risked your eyesight and payed 3000 euro to change to colour of your eyes....
Why the fk would you do that?? Be prepared for him to call you out after your LL surgery. Nosey people like you are the worst of this world.

Am I insulting everybody, really ? How ? 
Anyway, this is just an internship for me and I would not see this guy anymore after the end of the month. I didnt do it out of jealousy or anything, I just wanted to see if I am right and he really has lifts. I didnt know there would be anybody else besides me with height insecurities in the office. And about the eye color, I dont think people will really notice to be honest and even if they do, I can always say ok thats always been me you just havent noticed
