Yeah, from short men asking tall people to pass them a top shelf gentleman's publication which they have to have cos short men don't get any women.0 -

As if no one ever comments on people being especially tall...
I get used to it. I take the benefits at gigs and suchlike, and try to put up with the discomfort at other times...
It'd be a boring old world if we were all the same!Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.

One big advantage of being 6'6" is that i had an excuse to have a bike built !
Thanks to Gary etc at Argos racing cycles0 -

5' 4" me!! Anyway... tried to join the Fire Service many moons ago when it was OK to be heightist... passed all the physical stuff (group split in two - some did the medical first) - went to get the medical, failed as being too small. Not impressed, lost it a bit, told them it'd be their fault if they needed someone to crawl through a small hole to rescue a baby and they were all too big! An over-reaction I know but things have changed so my point was proved. Perfectly balanced me - chip on each shoulder . Visit Ireland - all of it! Cycle in Dublin and know fear!!

6'5" here too. Worst thing is if the bed has an end with holes cut in it. The number of times I've worken up entangled in the bedstead wondering if I'll need the fire brigade to cut me out...verylonglegs wrote:Hmmn point taken...ok try this one, hotel beds, many times am I left with my feet hanging off the end unless I curl up a bit! Doesn't sound like much but trust me it is.0 -
I'm a mere 6', and I still occasionally struggle in a world designed for little people. I'm not tall, yet I still have no leg room (ever) on public transport. I often can't find trousers to fit. Duvets are too short to cover both my shoulders and feet at the same time, so one end of my body will be cold when I stretch out. And I'm constantly asked to get down high things.0

Sounds like shelves were designed for tall people then...0 -

Shelves are a bit of a compromise - the top ones for tall people, the bottom ones for short people.
Anyway, shelves aren't that difficult for short people, they're the easiest thing in the world to climb, so long as you aren't getting anything heavy down what's the big problem?0 -

Shelving can be at any height. Next time I see a short arse I'll ask for something to be passed up."There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours."0 -

Or simply get them to shine your shoes - they might as well do something useful in return while they're down there....0 -
Short women could put a shine on something too.deptfordmarmoset wrote:Shelving can be at any height. Next time I see a short ars* I'll ask for something to be passed up.
