  The true way is not to reach things for others, but to lift others so they themselves can reach.

    That’s waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.

    Hands out Card

    I can also give you for 5$ a Month a daily update about the weather up here or can place things on top of cupboards so your enemies can’t reach them.

  When I bought my house it had been abandoned for years, so I had to remodel the whole thing. When I built the counters and cabinets I accidentally built everything based on my height, so everything in the house is a good 3-4 inches higher than most houses. Everything looks fine and works fine for me, but I have to get a lot of things down for the wife, and we have to have a couple different steps stools around.

    Very nice. I have relatives with a house like that and it makes everything easier. I visited a friend last year with vessel sinks: the counter top is standard height but the sinks sit on top: So nice. Meanwhile sometimes my back doesn’t like how much I have to bend to wash my hands in my own bathroom

    Well, I was lucky enough to make sure my partner is only about 10 cm shorter than me. But still when I renovated the house, it ended up the way that they cannot reach everything…

  I’m of average height, so when I saw a short old lady not able to reach the pepsi at the cop of the cooler, I was very happy to get to help. I don’t get that opportunity too often

  As a short person who often can’t reach stuff on the top shelves at work, please offer. I can’t ask because I’m working, but I genuinely appreciate everyone who offers to help.

  I appreciate the giants. I’m very short and need help reaching things regularly. If I was one inch shorter, I’d be considered a little person legally. At least here in the US. I’m 4’11 🥲

    You get the stuff that’s too low, we’ll get the stuff that’s too high. From each to each

  I do ask on planes because it’s pretty obvious that it’s gonna be near impossible for some people and I want to save them the suffering.

  I’m no even that tall but I must seem more “approachable” I guess? I get often asked by older woman to grab something for them.

    I was once returning from a skiin holiday in Italy. We stopped in a supermarket in Südtirol and an old lady asked me to get her something from the top shelf. Thankfully I speak german so I understood her hut that could have been awkvard.
