Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

I have this problem, and have run into some automated doors because of it. Thankfully most are not calibrated so high.

My friend was 16 when this happened to her. She is incredibly short and petite.

We stopped by the supermarket to pick up some steaks for that evening and she walked ahead to go start the car and aircon. After jumping in front of the door, just as it opened a security guard ran up to her and took her hand saying "Whoa, there. If you run off your mommy is going to be very worried. Now let's go find her, ok?"

I was still at the till and folded in half, laughing when she stormed over to me and kicked me in the shin while dragging the guard along who would not accept her "I'm not a child, you moron." shouts.

Mostly I am amused that "aircon" is a thing

YOU CAN BUY AN ENTIRE AUSTRALIAN TOWN FOR LESS THAN A NEW YORK APARTMENT

(Pictures and link to the actual listing in the article, just click above.)

Nothing makes you feel powerful and important like having an entire city at your command. Just ask basically anyone on Game of Thrones, or Bill de Blasio. But now, you can have a small piece of that megalomaniacal rapture -- and hopefully none of regicide or crappy subways -- if you buy the town of Allie's Creek in Monogorilby, Australia.

Located about five hours from Brisbane, Allie's Creek will cost you just $547,612 (A$750,000), including its 16 Queenslander-style homes. The town was the hub of a former saw mill and comes complete with street lights, water purification treatment plant, three-phase power depot, a dam, town hall and an old school house, according to the listing.

For that same price in New York, you can get a two-bedroom apartment in lower Manhattan, which doesn't come with a town hall or dam. If you're lucky, it'll have laundry in the building, and hopefully, neighbors who don't leave trash in the damn hall.

However, unlike buying an apartment in Manhattan -- one hopes -- there are people living there. About half the homes have current rent-paying tenants.

Allie's Creek was put on the market in September for $2.1 million and has seen a considerable price drop. That's perfect though, because you can use that savings to set up whatever it is you plan on doing with a town of your own.

Music festival? Why not? Daily Game of Thrones reenactments? Your friends will love you. Nudist colony? Might want to check in with the people who already live there.

So far, there have been about a dozen serious inquiries, according to the realtor. That means you're running out of time to make your dream of owning a small Australian town, replete with weird Australian animals, a reality. Get on it.

Reminds me of high school French class when we were only supposed to speak French, so we'd just speak English but preface every sentence with "Comment dit-on <English sentence>?"

Wie sagt man auf Deutsche "Going to the school disco later?"

The one problem with this is that it's a rural Queensland town.  Why do you think the price has been dropped so much.  These are the people who refuse to adopt Daylight Savings Time because the magic extra sunlight that you get from it confuses the cows and fades their curtains.
