This Group Shares Problems Only Tall People Struggle With, And Here Are 44 Funny Examples
Did you know that Ben Affleck is 6'4 (193cm)? And that Margaux Hemingway was as tall as her grandfather Ernest at 6'0 (183cm)? It would've probably taken the majority of us to stand 2 minutes behind them at a concert to start to envy them, thinking they must have the world at their feet. But that might not be the case.

Continue scrolling and check out the images.

During a 100-year period between 1896 and 1996, the largest gains in height were recorded for European and Central Asian men; their mean height increased by 11 cm (4.3 inches), overtaking North American men in the process. The smallest absolute gains were seen for South Asian men; mean height increased by only 5 cm (2 inches).
There are only 2.5K members in the r/TallPeopleProblems subreddit, but I guess the bigger it gets — the more people experience these issues — the better?
