What are the downside to being tall?

you get rained on first?
tiny cars?
you're easy to spot in a crowd when you're trying to escape the bad guys.
 
The first shitty dancer to be spotted on the dancefloor. You're like a lighthouse for other crappy dancers.*



*White guys only.
 
Every public anything is made for short people or handicap. You have to bend over to reach everything. From that perspective, it kinda sucks. I'm not real tall but at 6' i'm above average. I've noticed that every public sink is way too short for me.

As an avionics technician very slightly short of 2 meters height, I can add aircraft to the list.

edit: also short kitchen counters made for 5'2" housewives.

add Left Handed to that list. I am 6'4" and left handed...i'm a walking death trap.
 
Relationships. If you have a short gf, you'll probably be nuts over her.
 
Short people like me call you 'green giant', or 'six foot mother f***er' behind your back.

Oh, and apparently they have the same trouble finding clothes that fit as short people.

I'd like to add airline seats to the list, but that pretty much covers it, cars are the worst for me though. I usually can't sit in the back at all, and I usually find that the friggin rearview mirror is exactly at eye level, so I have to lean my seat way back just to see anything to the front-right of the car.

Almost forgot, it can be hard to look women in the eye, seeing as you often have a clear view down their shirt.

For those of us "built to scale", it's an advantage rather than a problem. You can be quite large there without being scary (until they get a good look up close).

Planes are designed for pilots 5'8".

European and Japanese designed aircraft are particularly bad in crew quarters.
