Being tall is amazing, but here are some well deserved and relatable facts of life for all the semi-giants out there.
- People Have Always Thought You Were Older Than You Were.
I was the first grader who got kicked off the mall playground because they thought I was twelve.
2. Pants Will Usually Be Too Short.
Unless you go online at Old Navy, you’ll be rolling your pants up to make them look like ankle pants, and even capris. The best tall person hack is just wearing riding boots.
3. “You’re Too Tall To Date Me."
That one burns, but just pat that jerk on the head and walk away. Someday your giant will come. Or a person who is shorter than you and not intimidated by your height. 'Cause that's just plain dumb.
4. Sleeping While Traveling Economically Is Never Comfortable.
Your 5’2 friends talk about how they are able to just curl up in ordinary airplane seats, and you picture yourself trying to sleep in about 100 different ways. NEVER GIVE UP THE AISLE SEAT.
5. “Do You Play Basketball?”
“Do you play mini golf?”
6. Walking Faster Than Your Shorter Friends.
You’re just walking with your shorter bestie and then you turn around and wait for a minute for them to catch up. They finally reach you, and they're panting and out of breath!
"Remember, 5'2"!!"
7. Tripping On Small Children and Dogs.
You feel awful, but it’s hard to see down there...
8. The Top of the Fridge was Made for You.
It’s the most comfortable place to put things. Some tall people will even rest their arms on top of it while sipping a beer and talking to dinner guests.
9. “Why Do You Wear Heels if You’re So Tall?”
Because they’re shoes, and I like them.
10. Getting Out of Small Cars, or Really Anything Smaller Than an SUV.
This is hilarious and it’s actually quite difficult.11. "How's the Air up There?"
No. Stop. Please. Stop.
