 short people make me uncomfortable and i dont like standing too close to them. if a short person goes next to me and tries to talk to me while I'm standing I just sit on the floor

I'm 5'2 and acutely aware that every mundane thing was made with bigger people in mind, which is completely fair but still annoying. Cars are the worst
haha im just imagining you sitting down for dinner and your feet are dangling up off the ground like a 5 year old

I'm 5'2" and a woman and the only thing I don't like about being short is that my feet don't fully touch the floor when I'm on the toilet so I have to keep a big book on the floor in there to rest them on because it's uncomfortable otherwise.
hmm well the advantage is that if you're in a public restroom you can take a poo poo and the assassin whos looking under the stall doors wont know which door to shoot you through

anything taller and you're weird, lanky awkward gently caress (unless you're a professional athlete)

im 6'2 and this really awkward 6'5 guy in my class came up to me and told me he wished he was my height (totally unprompted wtf)
also if you're shorter than 6' then people that are 6'5 and up will tend to back into you accidentally

Yeah my legs always fall asleep on chairs and the toilet because my heels don't touch the floor
I actually have some weirdly tall chairs so that happens to me at home too so I feel you on that one
