I have trouble reaching a lot of things, but I cope by putting the important things on lower cabinets. For some reason we always have the cereal in the top cabinet, so I have to go on my tippy toes for that.

    I think the biggest difficulty I have is if someone puts the lunch box I bring to work on top of the refrigerator, but not leaving a strap dangling over the edge. Then I can't reach it, and since I'm alone when I'm getting ready to leave for work, I have to scale the side of the counter top to be able to reach it. XDD

    Oh, and of course, when you're short, if you gain even one lb of weight, you can see it immediately. Taller people can get away with gaining 5 lbs and it not being noticeable on their body because the fat distributes among more of the body, because there IS more ofi t. That really grinds my gears!

    Yeah, my sister's roughly 5'0'', and weighs 140, and I'm 5'9'' weighing 220-230, and we're almost the same size.

    I wish I could bulk like that but if I gained 5 lbs in a week it better be mostly water or heads will roll.

    I am about 6'0" - 6'1". I wear very large shoes which can change my height occasionally.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I usually get by being athletic (rofl) and having long arms so stuff being on high cabinets doesn't stop me. I can jump really high too, so that works.

    My mom is shorter than me and some how manages to drive by sitting on a pillow. She almost killed us while she was driving my dad's mustang though.

    5'10"-5'11"ish. I think I have a good height. I am taller than Levian, Lonny Bob and Iceglow, and I don't know what more a man could ask for in life!
