I get that a lot, even in person. As near as I can figure, my legs are relatively short, so my torso is proportionally longer than one would expect, so, sitting down, people assume that I'd be somewhat taller than I am. And, even when I'm standing next to someone, they often don't notice that they're looking down at me. I don't know why.
As far as weight goes, nobody guesses that I'm as heavy as I am. Which, when I was studying a full-contact martial art, was rather fun -- people would occasionally attempt to tackle me, and bounce. I am carrying about 20 pounds more fat than I'd like to, but the height-weight charts suggest that I should be 150 pounds.
The last time I was 150 pounds, I was rail-thin -- and 5 feet tall.
