Fair. But there's no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.
I can guarantee if the story is true or not but my father talked regularly about a neighbor that he knew when he was a kid.
The neighbor was a ballet dancer above 2m tall and was driving an old school mini.
To be able to fit in it he removed the front seat and was driving sitting in the back seat.
That isn't even the worst thing. Sinks are. Especially those big, deep professional ones where the bottom is somewhere south of your knees. But even ordinary sinks are almost always too low to be comfortable and you have to do this little half stoop/lean to use them properly.
Also showers in hotels. The controls are low, and sometimes the showerhead is at or bellow shoulder height.
Squeezing into an airline seat is comparatively fine, and I tend not to have to worry about the guy in front reclining because they physically can't. And the look of fury dying in the eyes of the chap who just turned round to complain about it is a memory that warms me to this day.
Seriously, I'm not even that tall and my knees are still always embedded into the front seat.
Elective surgery though...
Remember it's never ok to be mean to people, just because they are taller than you and you feel insecure about that fact
Edit: /s
Stfu lanky or I'll steal your kneecaps.
I'm almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.
The fact that my first reaction to this was shouting "fuck you" internally probably just reenforces the idea that short people get aggressive about their height.
you're closer to hell, it's understandable
No I fucking don't
Honestly, we’re just envious of your affinity for mining and singing jolly work songs.
Wait, I’m thinking of the Welsh, aren’t I?
Average height here defending the shorties. Enjoy your back pain, air travel, and hitting your head on everything.
Clumsy short people and projection, smh
You should have made fun of our tendency to die young and pretty
Lol, so true. I always try to share the reach with others when I can. But after being married for about 15 years at the time, I found a bag of candy on top of the books on the bottom shelf. So I went around the house checking all the low areas and there was a veritable TROVE of sweets - everywhere. They were even in the garage that only I use. Partner was horrified that I found them and then wouldn't say how long this had gone on for. I can only assume the entire time because I did find a few things like chocolate oranges that they only sell around the holidays. Every once in a while nowadays I see a wrapper, but the stash has been replaced and no one is talking. Mischievous.
Do short people not climb on each other like some sort of LEGO construction?
I believe the correct term is Voltroning
And yes, that’s how we defeated hellstar remina. You’re welcome stiltleggers
I'm guessing you've not heard of manual handling in the workplace.
Yeah but tall people have the problem hitting their head off of stuff that's just not a problem for most people so honestly I'd take being short if I could
Ooh and air travel sucks as a tall person.
Virgin giant:
- Bumps head on the stupidest things
- Whines about air travel
- Can’t handle an unfinished basement
- Has to buy special clothes
- Cries when they have to pick something off the ground
- “Do you play basketball?”
- Blocks people’s view.
Chad shortie:
- Can wear top hat anywhere they want.
- Walks under any obstacle with ease.
- Knows how to hem trousers.
- Can see into the fridge without crouching.
- Lovingly compared to the heroes of the shire.
- Low center of gravity.
- Can be taller by standing on literally anything.
- sneaky as heck
We remember the tall people who make these jokes and when the lean times come, it will be you begging us for the food in our larders. We will remember then, too.
What was it Robert Heinlein said about the best revenge being to outlive your enemies? LOL, we short fuckers live longer.
Heard the term "little old man" or "little old lady"? Yeah, that's why they're old.
I just fly.
What did I do to you to hurt me this way?
I'm not gonna lie. I feel very grateful to have been born reasonably tall. As in, tall enough to see in a crowd, not so tall as to have difficulties with clothes, vehicles, etc. I feel bad for people who are like 6'7" cause the world just isn't built for them.
That's where I am too. Taller than average, but everything still feels like it was built for me.
Their power lies elsewhere. Have you ever seen a tall person at a grocery store trying to dig out a product from the back of the bottom shelf?
6ft4 here. I consider any man below 6ft to be a kid. And only date 5ft9+ women, not into oompa loompas midgets.
Your height range for women you would date overlaps with the height range you consider to be kids?
