Artist Illustrates Tall & Short Girl Problems, And The Result Is Hilariously Relatable
If you’re a few inches taller or shorter than the average height, it seems that the world is conspiring against you. To highlight this universal truth, artist Sara Pocock has created a series of illustrations that focus on the annoying problems both giant and pixie girls face nearly every day.
Sara is no stranger to this kind of work, either. After a lifetime of drawing on living room walls and doodling on notebook paper, Sara decided to capitalize on her interest and moved to Minneapolis, where she earned her BFA in animation at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2006. Since then she has worked as an animator for Cartoon Network, BuzzFeed, and other notable names.

For short girl you forgot the sunblockers in the car that never cover the sun because you're too short

I have every single one of the short people problems and the car sun block problem. One time I was in a hotel in Germany and I literally saw only my forehead and up in the mirror. Sigh...

YES to the tall girl problems. Though don't be embarrassed if you're taller than the guys! There's nothing wrong with that. A few things I would add: Jeans/pants are always either too short or waaaay too baggy. Being attacked by ceiling fans/low hanging lights. Guys' eyelines being right on boob level with you. Having trouble finding dress shoes that are big enough. Trying to squeeze into tiny restroom stalls.

My teenage son's girlfriend is about six inches taller than he is (and a good foot taller than me) he still is growing but I doubt he catches up to her. They don't care one bit! Love is Love

Agh! The seatbelt in the neck is a real pain!! I have to wrap a thin scarf around it to prevent nasty chaffing!

In my country it is recommended for the children and short people to sit on a safe pillow that don't slide easily on a car seat . That way the seat belt does not damage the throat in the car crash.

I'm short, I have a pair of tongs in the kitchen that have silicon tips so I can get jars off the top shelves

I had a budding relationship with a beautiful tall woman, over long distance. We knew each other in person from years ago, but hadn't been around each other in a few years (both of us were with someone else at the time). She was so heavily into me for 6 months, were going to meet up at her friend's wedding... and then, suddenly, she "got scared" and broke it off ... because of her fear of men breaking things off with her because of her being tall. I was gutted. All you insecure men who have problems with tall women: go f**k a garbage disposal.

I was going to say how petty that was, but women won't date short guys so I guess everyone is petty!

I was 6'2" at the age of 16, I'm about 5'10" now. I've had all the tall girl problems but, because my torso is shortened by massive curves in my spine, I get the short girl things like seatbelts trying to strangle me as well. If my spine were straight I'd be about 2metres tall, or 6'6" #MarfanSyndrome

My daughter is short and works as a hostess at a restaurant. She gets very frustrated when customers don't notice her or dismiss her when she tries to seat them. We also keep numerous stools and ladders around the house so she and I can reach things (I'm a smidge taller than her, but not by much).

I'm small myself. All my life, I have had sales people ignore me. What gives?

Seatbelt strangling happens to anyone with boobs, it has nothing to do with height. Also, wearing flats is a privelege. High heels are torture.

Although I see your points, I think I'd have to disagree on a few, especially the seatbelt strangling. I'm average height, but I'm remember when I was growing up still, I hated strapping I'm because the seat belt always rubbed hard on my neck. I'm guessing short people never get rid of that problem lol.
