Positioning a mirror

[longone]

Hope this is isn't to too stupid a question but I'm struggling to convince myself of the answer.
If you wish to position a mirror on a wall such that the image you see of yourself is what someone one of similar height would see when looking at you, is it simply a matter of it being a plain mirror positioned perpendicular to the floor? Or is there more to it?
I ask because I've noticed an apparent difference in different mirrors and wonder should it actually be perpendicular?
Cheers.

Thanks. I realise the left/right flipped issue, I should have said it's more the perspective and proportions that seem to change in certain mirrors. Maybe some are deliberately not flat? I don't know, perhaps my imagination.

funny. No it's not interesting, just something I've noticed and wondered about. Thanks for the opinions.

Nobody got it, or if they did get it, they didn't post about it.

no offence taken at all. I thought it was funny and though I remember the Partidge scene I didn't get it either.

No,

you need two mirrors at 90degrees to each other. You need to face them at 45degrees.



you * > mirrors

ok, can you explain why that would give a different perspective than facing one vertical mirror?
