"You can see over everyone's head!" "You can reach everything!" "You get respected anywhere you go!"
Sometimes, being tall has its advantages, but most of the time...
Being tall actually sucks.
1. Clothes simply do not fit
Chances are tall people have very odd sizes that retailers NEVER keep in-store. But don't worry, they'll "order your size and ship it for free, no worries" except you'll find out two weeks later that it still doesn't actually fit. Let's face it: the fashion industry doesn't account for freaks.
2. Embarrassment is a fact of life
Everyone sees it, everyone laughs, and you probably even take a few innocents with you on your way down.
3. What are shoe sizes past 10?
It's also like they start skipping by three sizes as the foot becomes more ski-like.
4. You're always exploited for your height
I'm happy to change the light bulb, but oh my God...Every. Single. Time.
5. The fan blades
Oh god, the fan blades. To all of you who look like Quasimoto when you're getting dressed...RIP.
6. "You're walking too fast!"
I cannot physically walk any slower because I HAVE A LONG STRIDE.
7. Beds are never long enough
Either you sleep like a crumpled giraffe or have cold feet (because blankets are never long enough either). You can't win.
8. Planes, trains, and automobiles: they're all uncomfortable
No, really, I beg of you...let me have shotgun.
9. "Tallest in the back!"
Really glad I tried to look nice for this photo. I was there, mom, I promise.
