One drawback to being tall:

[trof]

Stretching and getting your hand whacked by the ceiling fan.

1. But you guys are awesome

Always taking pity on me in the grocer store and getting that damn top shelf item that I can't reach without climbing!

[trof]

8. Yeah, I sub for the kitchen step stool.

[Kutjara]

2. Don't forget coach-class longhaul flights.

When I get off those things, I need a crowbar to pry my limbs straight.

[trof]

9. Oh god. I come off a cripple.

Coach sux.

3. how tall is too tall? I'm 6'6''

Every time I go to the grocery store a little old lady asks me to get something from the top shelf.
I've had bad knees and every other problem that tall people are subject to.

7. Just a shrimp...6'3".

4. Sucks for doing push-ups...

...for those struggling with military fitness standards. I always just got by on the push-ups test, but being tall does help in running, I think.

5. Standing up and bumping your head on the light fixture at the table

OUCH! dammit

:mad:

[trof]

10. I have multiple scar tissue from cockpit overhead.

Take a look at the ceiling of a 747 sometime.
All those little hard circuit breaker knobs.
The ceiling is about 1" closer to the floor than the top of my head.
Every once in a while I'd forget how tall I am and stand up straight.
OUCH.
And no hair to cushion the blow.
I shoulda worn a hardhat.

6. finding suitable guys to date that can look you in the eye

[SPKrazy]

11. oh you silly!

[AWESOM-O]

12. Yet another problem...

[GCP]

13. My heart bleeds!

As a five foot shrimp I get stuck behind people like you at rock concerts!
