I've heard people complaining about being short, when in reality they're 5'6," and they have no idea the struggles people 5'3" or shorter go through.
1. Pants shopping is not a quick and easy thing.
This is something that takes a lot of time and patience. First, you have to find the kind of pants you want. Then, you have to find your size. Seems simple enough so far, right? Here's where it gets hard. You have to look for pants that say "short" on the tag. You literally have to go through every pair of jeans in your section to find a pair that's your size and that wont be extremely long on you. Sometimes, short jeans are on the highest shelf. Makes sense, right? Put pants for short people as high up as possible. If you accidentally get regular length pants, you end up looking like the picture above.
2. You always get asked how old you are.
You constantly find yourself saying, "No, I don't need a kids menu, but thanks for the offer" or "No, I'm not 13 years old." Look at it on the bright side though, when you and your friends are all forty, and you look 25, they'll be wishing they were you.
3. If you had a dollar for every time someone told you how short you are...
You could pay for your college tuition, a new Mercedes Benz and a three month vacation at Disney World. I realize I'm short. I don't need people constantly telling me.
4. Your feet never touch the floor.
You might as well be sitting in a high chair every time you sit down. You especially have to mentally have to prepare yourself when you're about to sit on a bar stool.
5. Maxi dresses were never an option.
Unless you want to look like you're drowning in fabric and look even shorter than you already are.
6. Even when you wear heels, 99% percent of your friends are still taller than you.
Every time I wear heels, I feel like I'm 5'6," but then I realize I'm 5'4" at the most.
7. You need a step stool in every room of the house.
And if you don't, you can forget about reaching things on tall shelves.
8. You may be 5'1," but you have that 6'3" attitude.
Because short girls are also known to be sassy.
9. If you're walking with your tall friends, you basically have to jog just to keep up.
10. When the doctor said you were done growing
11. People always feel the need to use your head as an armrest.
If you want me to never talk to you again, use my head as an armrest.
12. When you go swimming in the 5 foot part of the pool.
If you don't stand on your tiptoes, you'll probably drown.
13. Standing next to your friends like
Because you might have a few friends that are as short as you, but most of them are so much taller than you.
14. If you're not standing in the front row in a picture, you might as well not be in the picture at all
15. Tall girls always say how the wish they were short.
And you just roll your eyes because you know they love being 5'10" with long legs that make them look like they just came off the Fashion Week runway.
16. But you know the real reason why tall girls say they wish they were short.
Sorry not sorry.
