Basically a mate I've known about 4 years and see rather regularly always makes reference to my height. She's like oh I can barely see you you're so short. All the time. Aibu to call her out ?

That's practically average. I'm shorter than that.

I know! It's so strange.

Are you short? Is it a source of potential shame to you?
I'm short. No-one could shame me about it because it is nothing to be ashamed of.

How will you "call her out?" Is she a lot taller-how will your words carry up to her great height? Do you literally mean to actually "call", with a loudspeaker?

Short arses unite! Rejoice in being petite. Failing that, buy high heels or carry a step ladder.

I'm 5 foot 3

Of course. Tell her that she keeps saying the same thing and you'd like her to stop.
