The plight of being short in a world full of tall things is one that you never truly understand until you find yourself wondering how you will get that object down from that high shelf or you run into someone who completely towers over you. To the person who leaves the stepping stool where it’s easily accessible, you the real MVP. Check out these struggles that only short people will get.
#1 Oh you want something from the top shelf?
I bet she knows what it feels like to climb Mount Everest now.
#2 Short people have to stick together.
Together they can do anything a normal sized person can do. Teamwork is key!
#3 Mass market things are rarely made with the short person in mind.
Poor girl, I don’t think she wanted to go for the bottom half of a mermaid look.
#4 Oh you want to own a truck?
You will either need a fold out step or to somehow grow a foot taller. On the plus side, you’ll be shorter than the mirror so you won’t ever have to worry about walking into it.
#5 Sink mirrors are obviously part of some giant people conspiracy.
But that won’t keep a short person down. They always find a way.
#6 Driving can be a bitch.
When you’re short sometimes your feet don’t reach a car’s brake pedal.
#7 Oh you’re short? Here, let me blind you.
Driving while short is a dangerous thing indeed.
#8 You get lost in the crowd.
Imagine you go to a concert but you can’t see the stage.
#9 If you’re not standing at the front of the picture you’re not going to be seen. Deal with it.
Why wouldn’t they move the obviously tiny person to the front?
#10 This couple has found the magic trick to making their relationship work.
They say laughter is the best medicine. In this case it’s true.
#11 Even getting in bed can be a challenge.
If you’ve never had to use a stepping stool to go to bed you don’t know what it means to be short.
#12 Washing clothes is just evil.
I wonder how many times she has fallen into the machine?
#13 The simple act of cooking becomes a circus acrobatics show.
You need that bowl? You better start climbing.
#14 Being short can make relationships hard.
Height can make or break a relationship. Who wants to bend down every time they want to give you a kiss? But he looks like he’s nuts over her.
#15 Everything you do makes you feel like you’re in the land of giants.
You don’t know what sadness is until you sit in a normal sized chair and find that your feet hang.
So, short people can relate to overweight people in that they are not inside that circle labeled average citizen, and have to make due any way they can.
