Being short presents its own particular set of problems, the most common of which seems to be people constantly cracking pun-filled jokes at your expense.
Long story short – here’s a list of problems only short girls will understand:
1. ‘High waisted’ pants are more like ‘underarm pants’.
2. Everyone thinks you’re in high school.
3. People love cracking the joke “Sorry – you must be this tall to enjoy this ride!”
4. The top shelf at the supermarket might as well be Everest.
5. Two words: bar stools.
6. Everybody knows you as ‘the short one’.
7. If you’re not in the front row at concerts you might as well not go.
8. Always getting a face full of boobs when you hug people.
9. People look at you and your partner, then say “how does that work?”
10. It’s practically impossible to take selfies with other people.
11. “Can you even see over the steering wheel hahahaha?!?”
12. Everyone jokingly uses you as an arm rest.
13. The shallow end of the pool is your deep end of the pool, and the deep end of the pool is your horrifying abyss.
14. The sun visor in the car does nothing for you.
15. When you use an umbrella, it’s like a lethal weapon.
16. All pants need to be taken up. All. Pants.
