Over the years, various roles on TV and in movies have given plenty of one-liners for those of us over the average height. So if you're one of us lucky tall people, you probably can relate to the following things:
1. "Can you reach that?
You've been asked this too many times to count.
2. You've also heard "Wow, you're so tall!"
Thank you for letting me know.
3. "How tall are you? Are your parents tall?"
Let me give you a run down on my genealogy real quick.
4. Pictures.
You've become okay with jutting over everyone else.
5. You're the tall friend.
Every group needs a token tall friend, right?
6. Pants.
They are almost never the right length. You have a hard time finding some that aren't capris.
7. Did someone say group picture?
You head straight to the back.
8. For girls: maxi dresses or skirts are a struggle.
You've given up on finding one that really touches the ground.
9. Awkward bathrooms.
Everyone loves being able to see over the stall! Not.
10. Natural-born sloucher.
Posture is not your strongest suit.
11. The athletic questions.
You've been asked what sports you play a multitude of times.
12. Shower issues.
Certain shower heads just don't agree with you.
13. Finding a significant other of the right height.
It can be challenging for taller girls who feel limited to taller guys.
14. For girls: the shoe plague.
You are never sure if you should wear those heels or not.
15. Hugs.
You're the hug-ee, not the hugger, if you know what I mean.
16. Mirrors.
You've had to bend over before just to see your own reflection.
17. Backseat? No thanks.
Your legs need way more room than that.
Being tall has its ups and downs, that's for sure.
