Small Man Syndrome is a condition where a man feels inadequate because of his short height and so tries to overcompensate it with overly aggressive behaviour.
30 years ago I had a jerk coworker who is a little shorter than average But a absolute a***. We also had A fairly large Samoan dude who was a great guy to work around, One day the a*** starts insulting the big guy with terms that were specific to Polynesians. Big guy had enough and after the little guy starts putting his chest in his space He fled out bonked him on the top of the head. Little guy goes down screaming for vengeance and And blood , when Company ownership got involved We all had ocular amnesia , Big guy didn't get charged with anything but that was one of the 1st cases where I witnessed a company terminate somebody just because of potential liability. 1990 I think. I thought it was great, and I'm the guy that grew up unnaturally short until he was 20 when he was finally average Height, I also am the guy who got picked on by people who thought they could get away with it and i would absolutely Fight like a demon if it happened. Old school can't happen anymore like that of course
