Being shorter than average can be a major struggle at times. Here are just a few things that all of us short people deal with regularly:
Trying to cook becomes a workout because you're constantly climbing all the counters.
You even use spatulas to help get containers down.
People constantly use you as an arm prop.
No one understands how annoying this is.
Shopping for pants is never fun
Pants that are made "short" are still too long. Then you have to do the whole "wiggle wiggle, pull, wiggle, jump" thing just to get them on. Oh, and if you're short, and you have a big booty, it's even worse.
People think it's fun to take your things and put them where you can't reach them.
You always have to jump and climb to get it back while they just laugh. You also always have a stool or stepladder near by just in case.
Laundry is always a hassle.
Go ahead and try to get that sock at the very back of the washing machine.
You really have to get creative in the grocery store to get what you need from the top shelf.
Or hope someone tall comes by and helps you out.
Or when your mother wants to be funny...
Sun visors offer no help to you.
Just never forget your sunglasses. Easy fix right? Nope!
Trying to take pictures with your tall friends.
Either you're barely in the picture, half of their body is out of the picture or they're bending down trying to get to your height.
Your taller friends always say, "You make me feel so tall!" "Wow, you're so little!" "Have you always been this short?"
Can we just go eat instead of discuss the obvious? Thanks.
Wearing your boyfriend's clothes seems like a good idea until his jacket swallows you whole.
.
Your friends forget that their legs are longer than yours so you're constantly having to remind them.
Their walking speed is a jog for you. Seriously! Your two normal steps are five of my normal steps.
People always saying, "Wow, you're really short."
If i had a dollar for every this happened, or someone asked me if I knew I was short, I could pay off my student loans.
Going to a concert?
Here is your view for the whole show. Better stand on those seats and hope you don't fall!
Going swimming?
You can forget not getting your hair wet
Even when you wear heels, you're barely normal height.
And when you do wear heels, someone always makes the comment, "Look who grew a couple of inches."
People always make fun of you when you drive.
"Do you need a phone book to sit on?" "How do you drive with your knees in the dash?" "Can you even see over the steering wheel?" No, I don't need a phone book; you're going to need it to call someone to pick you up if you don't hush. My knees aren't in the dash, shut up. Seriously? Of course I can see! Can you not see that you're getting on my nerves?
The best part about being short is being able to date as tall as you like! Besides, guys love short girls.
If you're a short girl like me, you know the struggle! All the short jokes, sarcastic remarks and pranks people play on you are all too familiar. Just remember one thing:
