10 Things Petite Girls Are Tired of Hearing

As someone who is 4'11 there are certain questions I hear a lot from friends or even strangers. When we're out shopping, when we're hanging out, or even just walking around. So for everyone wondering yes I know i'm short, please don't ask me how much I weight or my height. Here are a few things I've compiled that people have said to me.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "How tall are you? you're so short. Are you over 5'0?"

Yes I know I'm short and you can also see I'm short. Why does my height matter and why do you need to ask?

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "What size do you wear? You're so tiny. I bet you can wear kids clothes

Giphy

Yes I can wear kids clothes. While you're wearing a $150 Columbia jacket, I'm wearing the same one for $60 less.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Wow I thought I was short"

Giphy

Just because I'm shorter than you doesn't mean you're tall FYI

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "I was your height back in 6th grade"

Giphy

Wow that's great! I bet you have average size parents, I don't!

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "How much do you weigh?!"

Giphy

But if I asked you how much you weighed you'd be offended. So why is it okay if you ask me??

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Can I pick you up?"

Giphy

No you can't I'm a person not a doll thank you.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Can you sit in the middle?"

Giphy

Yeah sure I'd love to be squished in the middle.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Wait stand up I wanna see how much taller I am"

Giphy

Do the math, you're 5"7 so you're 8 inches taller, that's great why do you need me to stand up for that.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 14.0px} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "I bet you can fit into that small space"

Giphy

Yeah I probably can, doesn't mean I want to nor will I.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'} "Oh my god that 5th grader is as tall as you. I thought you were in their class for a second

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.
