On “Tall” noses

Japanese call my nose “tall”, 鼻が高い, while in Israel it was referred to as big, huge.

It usually draws nice attention from Japanese, but in some cases it is a real nuisance.

Yesterday I went to an Eye Doctor to get my regular check and my nose was “in the way”.
As I put my chin on the machine, the nurse operating it pushed it to my face, crashing my nose. When she wanted to switch from right eye to left, she just moved the machine, crashing my nose again.

She obviously apologised for it, saying that my nose is “tall”, but I didn’t feel the apology was genuine.

Maybe I should warn nurses Before starting the examination
