Hello to all my short friends, I am here to vent about my short people problems that I have experienced as a 5 feet tall petite woman. It seems as if the world is out to get us all, whether it be that desks and chairs are too tall, shelves are too high, or clothes just don't fit right. Do not get me wrong, I like being short; it has its perks, and tall people do have to go through some tough first world problems. However, I would just like to take a minute to express to all the tall people what we shorties have to experience on a regular basis. Without further ado, here are ten first world problems that short people have to face:

The rolled-up pants look is a necessity unless you want bunched up ankles. Speaking of clothes, don't even get me STARTED on maxi skirts and dresses.

Movies and concerts all revolve around which spot gives you the best visual access.

I can't count the number of times people have tested to see how light I was, or how many people I barely knew have patted my head.

You almost drown every time your tall friends want to hang out in the 5' section of the pool.

Everybody always thinks you're adorable and cutesy when you're mad, so nobody ever takes you seriously. Joy.

Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
