There are things that people a little closer to the ground have to deal with every day; struggles that are frustrating and quite frankly, out of reach. But we find ourselves as problem solvers, adapting to the tall world around us.

We may look ridiculous doing everyday tasks, but man, we thrive when playing hide and seek. Here is the story of a someone who just seems to be a little more compact, “fun-sized” as people might joke.

1. The sun visor in the car does not fulfill its duties.

2. You wonder why there isn’t a sport called “cabinet climbing” because you would be bomb at it.

3. You are surprisingly very good at walking in heels because you wore them all the time as a kid to reach the cookie jar more efficiently and secretively.

4. You learned that wearing high buns and ponytails to the doctor’s office will get you an extra inch when they measure you.

5. People automatically think you will comfortably fit in the third row of a car. I like my space too, people.

6. You always get stuck with an average sized person standing/sitting right in front of you at a concert or a movie. You have mastered looking between two heads.

7. You get winded easier when walking with people because you take twice as many steps as them.

8. You love sweatpants for average size people because you get installed foot slippers out of the extra fabric on the bottom.

9. You never know what to do when someone hugs you because you would be hugging their butt.

10. When your doctor said you are done growing, you question if this is even allowed for mother nature.

11. You feel discriminated against because you aren’t tall enough to be a Disney princess at Disney World; we can only be a fairy. Dreams crushed.

12. You can't carry grocery bags with your arm straight down because your bags will drag and here comes the humiliation.

13. You know exactly where to go when you hear someone say, “Line up tallest to shortest.”

14. When people want to hang in the deep (5ft) end of the pool and you just tread water the whole time hoping you will not drown.

15. You may have looked up the required height to be a midget.

16. Your parents were always thrilled because the short kids were always in the front for Christmas concert performances in school.

17. You thrive in big crowds because you can just wiggle and file between everyone.

18. You felt so much accomplishment once you confidently drank out of the taller water fountain at school.

19. You have never felt so frustrated when you are trying on sunglasses in a store and the mirror is positioned too high.

20. “You are the perfect height for an armrest!” Really Billy is that the best joke you could come up with?

Yes, I am bitter on some things we short humans have to deal with like the fact I will never be a Disney princess, just a fairy. There are pros and cons. Cons like seeing the waitress contemplate whether to grab a kid’s menu for you.

But pros like pretending you are 8 even though you are 15, to get first choice seating on an airplane will make up for the cons. But it’s okay. All that matters is that your feet touch the ground, right?
