    I know this pain. It hurts me more than you’ll ever know. Mazda hates tall people. Image

    I can guarantee if the story is true or not but my father talked regularly about a neighbor that he knew when he was a kid.

    The neighbor was a ballet dancer above 2m tall and was driving an old school mini.

    To be able to fit in it he removed the front seat and was driving sitting in the back seat.

  That isn’t even the worst thing. Sinks are. Especially those big, deep professional ones where the bottom is somewhere south of your knees. But even ordinary sinks are almost always too low to be comfortable and you have to do this little half stoop/lean to use them properly.

  Also showers in hotels. The controls are low, and sometimes the showerhead is at or bellow shoulder height.

  Squeezing into an airline seat is comparatively fine, and I tend not to have to worry about the guy in front reclining because they physically can’t. And the look of fury dying in the eyes of the chap who just turned round to complain about it is a memory that warms me to this day.

    My shower at home was set at 6’2”. I’m 6’3”. Luckily they sell shower arms that can raise shower heads, and they’re hella easy to install yourself.

      At home I can deal with it (and have done). Hotels are a different story and they don’t all have shower heads you can reposition. I’ve even been in ones where the gap between my head and the ceiling would not fit a showerhead between.

      Same with sinks and work surfaces. If I control the space you can bet it’s all comfortable for me, but I don’t always had that luxury.

  Seriously, I’m not even that tall and my knees are still always embedded into the front seat.

  Elective surgery though…

  It would be nice to be able to change your height at will… and have portable holes.

    I’ve got portable holes. They go everywhere with me.

      Well … do they contain an extra dimensional space that can fit both legs?

        Ever heard someone say “I really put my foot in my mouth”? That’s what they are trying to find out.

  Remember it’s never ok to be mean to people, just because they are taller than you and you feel insecure about that fact

    I’m almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.
