10 Things Petite Girls Are Tired of Hearing

As someone who is 4'11 there are certain questions I hear a lot from friends or even strangers. When we're out shopping, when we're hanging out, or even just walking around. So for everyone wondering yes I know i'm short, please don't ask me how much I weight or my height. Here are a few things I've compiled that people have said to me.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "How tall are you? you're so short. Are you over 5'0?"

Yes I know I'm short and you can also see I'm short. Why does my height matter and why do you need to ask?

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "What size do you wear? You're so tiny. I bet you can wear kids clothes

Giphy

Yes I can wear kids clothes. While you're wearing a $150 Columbia jacket, I'm wearing the same one for $60 less.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Wow I thought I was short"

Giphy

Just because I'm shorter than you doesn't mean you're tall FYI

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "I was your height back in 6th grade"

Giphy

Wow that's great! I bet you have average size parents, I don't!

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "How much do you weigh?!"

Giphy

But if I asked you how much you weighed you'd be offended. So why is it okay if you ask me??

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Can I pick you up?"

Giphy

No you can't I'm a person not a doll thank you.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Can you sit in the middle?"

Giphy

Yeah sure I'd love to be squished in the middle.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Wait stand up I wanna see how much taller I am"

Giphy

Do the math, you're 5"7 so you're 8 inches taller, that's great why do you need me to stand up for that.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 14.0px} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "I bet you can fit into that small space"

Giphy

Yeah I probably can, doesn't mean I want to nor will I.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Oh my god that 5th grader is as tall as you. I thought you were in their class for a second

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
