The answer to what is the perfect height truly is a conundrum, just ask Alice about her time in Wonderland. When people are short they wish to be taller - but the people on this list, on the other hand, probably wish they could just take just a few inches off to make life simpler. Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos of tall people trying to perform ordinary tasks, travel, and just get through funny problems in a world that was not designed to accommodate their height.
From awkward bathroom stall and dressing room moments to doorway safety hazards who knew that there were so many tall people problems out there. Scroll down below to laugh out of sympathy or relatability and don't forget to upvote your favorite funny photos!

As you sleep, your spine decompresses, and you regain the lost length.

hope he doesn't grow much more, there is not much left of the ruler that measures him.
According to one estimate, someone who is 20% taller will build up twice as much kinetic energy during a fall. This is why tall people are much more likely to suffer from injuries across their lifetime; women taller than 5ft 8in are twice as likely to fracture their hip as women who are just 5ft 2in.

Sure you might be in more danger of hitting your head but there are some benefits that come with being tall. A classic study in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that people make $789 more per year for each inch above average height they are. The majority (58%) of Fortune 500 CEOs are over 6 feet tall. And 38 of the last 43 American presidents have been taller than average height (5 feet 10 inches).

Is 5'5" even the average height in the US? I thought it was a bit less. Maybe 5'5" is the average for women of European descent? (Not that it really matters.) A few years ago I went pants shopping and had to get one that was labelled as "short", with "short", "normal" and "long" being the options. I am 5'6" in a country where the average height for women is 5'5". I asked the sales person who was noticeably smaller than me who still had a very normal (simply not average) height what kind of pants "people smaller than me" (it was kind of clear I meant people like her) are supposed to buy.

My husband is 6'7" and has a wingspan that is wider from fingertip to fingertip than he is tall. Gives him the ability to do some cool party tricks. The first thing our doctor did when he found out - sent him for testing (an ECG, heart and chest ultrasound, and chest x-rays) for Marfan's. Turns out this is a thing that can cause you to drop dead from a heart issue for no apparent reason with no warning and happens in people with arms wider than they are tall. Weird. 45yo man with an auto-immune disorder, a freaking AWFUL diet, no exercise beyond a part-time semi-laborious job, who smokes and drinks (less now he's grown up but still...) and has done since 15ish, and he has the heart and lung health of a fit 25yo. I'm glad cos I love him but I'm also jealous AF so every time it comes up, I mentally flip him the bird and call him an arsehole. XD And for those who will judge, he IS aware and amused.

I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6'7". Hip-to-hip. No question. If it's a situation that requires a prolonged, tight hug (behavioural alerts: ugly crying, sudden prolonged silence, emotional shut-down or detachment. Usually occurs in times of crisis, during big life changes, and pregnancy) then shoulder to shoulder is more appropriate and is best achieved in a sitting position. A step-ladder/chair/bench/table etc are also suitable for the BIG hugs if it is safe to use humour to lighten the mood or break the cycle of thoughts.

I’m 6’6” And This How Much Leg Room Was Available On Spirit Airlines. Luckily It Was Only A 4 Hour Flight
John Montgomery 6 years ago
Four hours is still really long to be that cramped. I'm only just under 6 ft 2in, but I've been to concerts where the seats are too close. Even two hours gets to be too much.

This bathroom looks quite old. Around the turn of the 20th century toilets were constructed with a much larger wall to floor-f****e offset. A modern toilet is almost universally 12", but back then some were 14, or 16 inches. This creates a problem when needing to replace a toilet and not wanting to take up the floor. There winds up being a big space behind it.

How Tall People (Don't) See Stoplights Vs. How Normal People See Them
Wietse Pot 6 years ago
At 6.6 I live with most of the annoying stuff shown in the other pictures and that's mostly just that: annoying. This is actually a real problem. Sometimes I have to stop far before the line, or I won't be able to see the lights. Great with trafficlights that work on a sensor in the road right before the line. I sometimes ask my wife to let me know when it's green.

Many of those are made for wheelchair users, as some people pointed out. The rest are plain claustrophobia-causing, no matter how tall a person is.
