Being short can be annoying, but it can also be fun, and it's what makes you unique! As short people, we run into some hilarious situations that the rest of the world just can't relate to. Here are 15 of them.

1. Being called “cute”.


2. When people think you're the younger sibling but you're actually the oldest.

3. Your parents would always lie about your age to get cheaper movie tickets or amusement park tickets.

4. When you drive, it's tough to get the seat in the perfect spot where you can reach the pedals and see over the wheel.


5.You can completely ignore “caution low ceiling” signs.

6.People are constantly making puns about your height.


“It’s you and me!”

7. Taking pictures is never easy; you have to come up with creative poses so that everyone's head can fit in the picture.

8. Your feet don't reach the ground when you're sitting in a chair.


9. You have tiny feet, so you can buy shoes in the kids' section.

10. You borrow your friends' shirts and wear them as dresses.

11. Leg room is never an issue.

12. You can't see in the mirrors in public bathrooms.

13. You're always stuck with the middle seat on car rides.

14. People ask you what it's like to be short.

"I don't know, I've never been tall."

15. Instead of being known for your intelligence or athleticism or humor, you're known for being short.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
