The fact that my first reaction to this was shouting “fuck you” internally probably just reinforces the idea that short people get aggressive about their height.
Pathetic.

Honestly, we’re just envious of your affinity for mining and singing jolly work songs.
Wait, I’m thinking of the Welsh, aren’t I?

Clumsy short people and projection, smh
You should have made fun of our tendency to die young and pretty

Lol, so true. I always try to share the reach with others when I can. But after being married for about 15 years at the time, I found a bag of candy on top of the books on the bottom shelf. So I went around the house checking all the low areas and there was a veritable TROVE of sweets - everywhere. They were even in the garage that only I use. Partner was horrified that I found them and then wouldn’t say how long this had gone on for. I can only assume the entire time because I did find a few things like chocolate oranges that they only sell around the holidays. Every once in a while nowadays I see a wrapper, but the stash has been replaced and no one is talking. Mischievous.

Do short people not climb on each other like some sort of LEGO construction?

I believe the correct term is Voltroning

I’m guessing you’ve not heard of manual handling in the workplace.
dalekcaan@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I mean, I get that short people have no reason to live (Newman et al.), but turning them into step stools seems a bit cruel
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 11 months ago
I live to construct and rearrange everything at my workplaces to suit myself and make the talls have to deal with it. *maniacal laughter*

Yeah but tall people have the problem hitting their head off of stuff that’s just not a problem for most people so honestly I’d take being short if I could
Ooh and air travel sucks as a tall person.

We remember the tall people who make these jokes and when the lean times come, it will be you begging us for the food in our larders. We will remember then, too.

What did I do to you to hurt me this way?
shalafi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What was it Robert Heinlein said about the best revenge being to outlive your enemies? LOL, we short fuckers live longer.
Heard the term “little old man” or “little old lady”? Yeah, that’s why they’re old.

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I’m not gonna lie. I feel very grateful to have been born reasonably tall. As in, tall enough to see in a crowd, not so tall as to have difficulties with clothes, vehicles, etc. I feel bad for people who are like 6’7" cause the world just isn’t built for them.
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s where I am too. Taller than average, but everything still feels like it was built for me.
xia@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Their power lies elsewhere. Have you ever seen a tall person at a grocery store trying to dig out a product from the back of the bottom shelf?
urska@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
6ft4 here. I consider anyone below 6ft to be a kid
Apollo42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Your height range for women you would date overlaps with the height range you consider to be kids?
ValiantDust@feddit.de 11 months ago
Fair. But there’s no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.

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.
peto@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Ephera@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Seriously, I’m not even that tall and my knees are still always embedded into the front seat.

It would be nice to be able to change your height at will… and have portable holes.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve got portable holes. They go everywhere with me.
TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Remember it’s never ok to be mean to people, just because they are taller than you and you feel insecure about that fact
TheBat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Stfu lanky or I’ll steal your kneecaps.
ValiantDust@feddit.de 11 months ago
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.
