1. Never being able to reach the top shelf... ANYWHERE
I will forever be known as someone who just jumps on counters, climbs up shelves at grocery stores, and stands on her tippy toes to get something off the top shelf. Which leads me to my next point...

2. "Can you even reach...?"
I may look like I need help (probably because I do), but I assure you, I have had years of practice and could probably make an olympic sport out of reaching. I will always be too stubborn to let you reach it for me. If I do ask though, please go right ahead because I for sure need your help then.
3. Being a constant shoulder rest for anyone taller than you.
This one goes out to all you tall people out there who find it humorous to make me into a piece of furniture. PLEASE STOP.

4. "How's the weather down there??"
Well, the same as yours actually. Warm air may rise, but not enough to make a difference in the seven inches between us.
5. "What size are your feet... they are SO small"
Yes, I wear a size 5-6. I also get to wear kids shoes and find shoes cheaper so in all honestly, this one might be more of a perk since no one ever runs out of my size. The actual remark about my foot size though.. definitely a struggle.
6. " You are so cute"
Cute reminds me of a 10 year old girl with two pig-tails smiling for her school picture. I know I may be the height of a ten year old, but please, I'm begging you find another adjective to describe me.
7. Constantly being picked up like a child
I grew out of being held when I was about 7. That's 13 years ago. I'll just leave it at that.

8. "I could fit you in my [name whatever bag they have on them]
Okay, so if someone random told this to your child one day, you wouldn't think that's creepy?? You'd be surprised how much I'm told this.
9. Never being able to see in crowds. Ever.
When I say never, I truly mean it. If I don't somehow shove myself to the front I'm screwed. I can't thank my boyfriend enough for being my eyes when I'm hidden behind the 6 foot man in front of me.

10. Never being able to push through crowds.
This one goes along with never being able to see. If I'm somewhere crowded I either have to follow the tallest person I can find (usually my boyfriend), or try and shove my way through everyone which usually ends with one of the struggles pointed out above. It just doesn't work.
11. Driving a Car
This is probably the hardest one. My seat is probably at a dangerous position I'm so close to the steering wheel. I mean a girls got to do what a girls got to do. The people who sit behind me while I'm driving must have about 2 feet of leg room.
But, there is one major perk.
I can wear the tallest heels I want, and I guarantee you, you'll still be taller. This reason alone makes me love being 4'10".
