As a 17-year-old who’s five feet tall (on a good day), trust me when I say I know what being short feels like. Like anything else, it has its pros and cons, but, that being said, there are still some things I get tired of hearing. So next time you talk to that short friend of yours, try to avoid saying these things; that way, they don’t have to make yet another post saying #shortpeopleproblems.
1. Aww, you’re so cute!
2. Oh my god, I didn’t even see you there!
3. How do you see when you drive?
4. You’re the perfect armrest!
5. You can sit in the middle since you’re so tiny.
6. No way! I thought you were twelve…
7. Here, I’ll shrink down so I don’t look like a giant next to you.
8. Wow, you’re strong for your height!
9. So where do you shop? The kid’s section?
10. Aw, your feet don’t even touch the ground!
11. Would you like a kid’s menu?
