    I would gladly donate a few inches. My back hurts and my knees hate me. Reaching the top shelf is overrated.

        Plus I’ve got the double whammy. I’m left handed as well. The world doesn’t ever think about me.

          I injured my arm and was left unable to use it for any repetitive motion, or lifting motion for half a year. I had to learn to use my left arm much more. Gotten quite handy with stuff. Found that in some cases, left was more useful. But overall… I am sorry for your inconveniences.

      My back and knees also hurt and I’m 5’7", and 24 y/o. I think we’re not evolved to walk on two feet >:(

    Being tall is not all it’s cracked up to be, I assure you.

    My back and knees constantly hurt, I can’t buy clothes at stores, dodging chandeliers and low doorways isn’t fun, there’s nothing interesting on the top of shelves and cabinets, no I don’t play basketball, every airplane is uncomfortable, my feet hang off the end of the bed, and where are all these women who want tall men?

    Yeah, well I probably smack my head on things far more frequently than most short people do. If they want my height, they’d better be willing to cough up some brain cells in exchange.
