 Yeah my friends used to do the same to me as well, it's silly really. I was 5"7 but they would say i was 5"10 this used to really get to me, i was taller then everyone else. They just want a reaction, instead just smile and agree. i love being tall, so many advantages!

 If you stop reacting then they will stop pushing your button. This really is a no biggie.

This is one of those things that qualifies as a really silly pet peeve.
If you've been measured, prodded, and poked to your satisfaction and the verdict of non-partisan judges is that you're 5'7" then you are.
And your friends are probably just having a great time yanking your chain watching you get all upset over something so minor. Perhaps if you stopped making a big deal out of it, they'll stop annoying you.
