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:

You're lucky if you can see your entire face into a bathroom mirror.

They should just lower the mirrors...tall people can bend down, but short people can't bend up!

The grocery store is practically a jungle gym.

You are basically an expert rock climber and have the agility of a cat thanks to your shelf-climbing skills.

The rolled-up pants look isn't just for decoration.

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.

Please get out of the way tall people so we can all enjoy the show, please and thank you.

You are always called "cute" and/or picked up by people.

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.

A requirement for picking out a new car is having electric seats that scoot up all the way.

Fun Fact: Shorter people are more likely to die from air bag impact due to being too close to the steering wheel, so there's that.

Nobody ever takes you seriously.

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

You have to take 2 strides for every tall friend's stride.

As a result, you got some nice toned legs!

The world just isn't made for your stature.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
