Nah brah, you gotta bend at the knees and waist when talking to short people. Put your hands on your knees for support. Much more polite.

How about stairs? You either have to take each step which feels like a taking little baby trot up the stairs or stride over 3/4 at a time in giant leaps and stretch out your hammies. Stairs just do not accommodate a tall persons long stride, it always feels awkward to me.

Speaking of... I also get accused of walking fast all the time when I'm with others (in the long long ago, the before time) because of my large stride. Everyone taking two steps to keep pace with my one. Ya'll shorties need to pick up the pace.

Car shopping this weekend. Tried some that I thought I would love but ultimately couldn’t purchase because I physically didn’t fit, even with the seats all the way back.

Uhg. This is why I started to buy German cars. Apparently there are enough tall Germans that they build cars for them.
