11. Hitting your head on ceiling fans.
12. Having the FCC put a blinking red light at the top of your head to avoid airplanes from crashing into your skull.
Being tall is a curse. Short people don’t know how lucky they have it.

Top 10 reasons why being short sucks more than that:
1. Most people look down at you whenever they speak to you
2. Riding dirtbikes on anything bigger than an 80cc Big Wheel is next to impossible.
3. Pant legs tend to be way too long in general
4. Nicknames like “Shrimp” “Squirt” and “Smurf” are used so often you naturally turn your head whenever they are spoken
5. There are cabinets in your house that you do not know what the inside of looks like because you’re not tall enough to even open the damn things
6. People often ask you to reach into small/tight spaces because you have such “little arms and hands”
7. You often wonder how safe you truly are on rollercoasters when you barely make it past the “safe” line
8. You’ve heard the saying “the bigger they are, the harder they fall” yeah well the shorter they are, the easier they are to push over!
9. You frequently get referred to as a “spinner” by drunked strangers at bars
10. There is no such thing as looking cool when climbing in to a truck.. especially when you have to literally CLIMB to get into it.

99. If you’re a dude and you get into a fight your balls are easier to hit.
100. As above, but if you have a psycho gf she can really get a good go as well.

You tall ones are so lucky. You don’t know how demeaning it is to have everyone look down on you when they talk to you. And if you get mad or have to be the boss of something when you’re tall, people respect you. If you’re short and you get mad, everyone laughs. To your face. There’s something so funny about a short person yelling at you. Plus, you’re a popular target for bullies. I often get circled around and closed in because I can’t push my way out. So before you start complaining, realize how lucky you tall guys are.
