What's being short like?

Question

I'm not exactly a giant, I'm 6ft, but I see all these people every day and they're just TINY. What is it like not being able to see anything because everyone else is in your way?

Answer 1

Incapable of paying your debts, again this means you.

No matter how much or how little you make or EARN, all things ...can...burn...you and yours included.

Oh you meant someone else or something else.

Like you did something special today...make the news and impress us.

Answer 2

I'm 23 y/o and 5'0". It sucks because I always have to get a step stool at work to reach anything on the shelves. When I go to the movies I always dread somebody sitting right in front of me that is tall because then I cant see the screen.
Also when I drive the seat has to go almost all the way up in order to reach the pedals. And when I ride my horse I have to punch extra holes in the stirrups because they don't go short enough. I wish I was a little bit taller.

Answer 3

I'm 5 ft. Being short isn't bad until you want to reach for something. Like at the grocery store I can't reach the high shelves and have to ask someone to help me. Of course sometimes that can be fun if it's a good looking stock boy coming to my rescue. At home, I have to keep everything on low shelves so I can reach them. I seem to get a lot of attention by being short, the guys seem really protective of me. I usually do see everything, no one gets in my way. I may be small but I'm fiesty.

Answer 4

You have to ask for help to reach lots of stuff - just like when you were a kid. Also you have to tolerate comments and jokes about your height. If you are a woman - you have to wear high heels and they're uncomfortable. If you're a guy you always wish you could be taller and consider lifts in your shoes - missing those platform shoes days.

Answer 5

being short it has is ups and downs like i can reach some of the stuff that other people can reach, I 'm only 5"0, so i am really short. the plus size to this is that most boys like short girls. sometimes i do be getting mad because i see all these tall women with long legs and i'm looking like, MAN i want long legs, i want to be tall, but i love being short, even though sometimes i wish i was tall

Answer 6

I'm pretty much used to it by now-I'm 4'11 and it does suck sometimes,there are certain cars I can't drive,I can't reach some stuff other people can without their help or a latter,but if someone gets in my way and won't move well I'll just kick em in the kneecaps to get their attention.

Answer 7

I'm not a midget but I am 5'2. I like being short. The only bad thing about it is buying jeans...and looking up people's noses.

Answer 8

I'm 5 ft tall. Being short rocks. I don't have to worry about bumping my head on door frames and stuff. My feet touch the floor, and that's all that really matters.

Oh, and it's easy to find guys to date who are taller than me. :)

Answer 9

well....I dont know any different, really. I am 5'4"...and the tallest woman in my Italian family.....and proud of it, dammit. Seriously though, I love being shorter because I can wear all my favorite tall and crazy shoes and such....and look NORMAL instead of looking like a drag queen or something.....

Answer 10

Its very annoying but you get skilled at kicking people just under the knee to move them out of the way.

Answer 11

y'know how you're always being asked to get stuff off of the top shelf at the grocery store when some midget grandma can't reach it? well short people are always being asked to get crap from under tables.
