This thread is priceless.

OP, you're short. Heller, Trident and it would be great if theflyingpig would join in.

Everyone knows this ...

Must suck to be short. Note: You're short if you aren't at least 6'

I'm 6'1". Does it make you mad that:

a. I can reach things on high shelves
b. I get way more girls than you
c. I get better jobs and get paid more than you
d. I could kick your ass

just because I'm tall. Feels good man.

edit: It's OK if you're short and you're a girl. This post is only directed at men, who are more like boys because they are short.

a. Not likely. I'm also 6'-1"
b. Not in your wildest dreams. (but let us know when you finally do get your first)
c. MAYBE....I had a pretty good career...and made good money before I got hurt.
d. Not in your wildest opium-filled nightmares...

BTW, just being 6'-1' doesn't mean you're tough...hell, you're probably a skinny beanpole with toothpick arms.

You're not short, the bullet points in the OP don't apply to you :thumbsup:

You forget that everything is relative.

You are short compared to others. I've got you by over 3 inches ... so you're short.

They call this height fail.

Short = shorter than average

Besides, you're freakishly tall.

At 6'5" I wish I was shorter. It is damn hard to drive most cars.



Agreed. It's hard to find clothes and whatnot as well.

Most things in our society are sized and built for the 95th percentile person. Unfortunately, when it comes to height ... we're outside looking in.

I've got size 11.5 feet. Not sure how many centimeters that is, but I don't want to know because centimeters are stupid.
So your feet are short, too. Mine are size 15.

FWIW, it's not the metric system that's stupid, it's those who can't use metric and SAE with equal facility.

Knowing both is one of the fringe benefits of being an Engineer.
