This Group Shares Problems Only Tall People Struggle With, And Here Are 50 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.
Tall people have problems. In fact, they even created a subreddit to prove that they don't have it as easy as short people think. From having to almost kneel to use the ATM to folding themselves in order to fit in an airplane seat, you gotta admit, some of the photo evidence they provide make the case pretty compelling. Continue scrolling and check out the images.

They Wanted Me To Get In My Co-Worker’s Car For A Mr. Incredible Moment. I’m 6’7”
Heather March 5 years ago
When I had a soft top (solstice) my husbands head would push up on the top. If we took the top down, his head would go numb. 😆
If we were to get serious for a bit (this will only take a moment, I promise), we would see that poor nutrition and illness in childhood limit human growth. Which means, the average height of a population strongly correlates to its living standards. Thus, the study of human height becomes relevant even for historians who want to understand the history of living conditions.
Even though human height is used as an indirect measure for living standards, experts emphasize that it is not used as a direct measure of well-being.

My Colleagues Sometimes Get Mistaken For My Children.
Navy Blue Bandana 5 years ago
I looked at the picture first. I thought they were the children. I read the caption and felt like an idiot
Human height has been steadily increasing over the past 2 centuries across the world. It is in line with improvements in our health and nutrition during this period. Generally, the data for these studies comes from soldiers (conscripts), convicted criminals, slaves and servants. It is, in fact, the reason why so many talks on human height focus on men.

When You're 6'5" And Date Someone Who Is 5'5"
AnimalMetalHeadUK 5 years ago
I'm 6'3 and wife is 5'2, not that I think height really means all that much.
Hollie Newton 5 years ago
Omg this is me and my boyfriend he's 6'5 and I'm 5'5 I come up to just beneath his shoulder
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?

My father inherited my grandfather's summer cottage, a small & very old fisherman's cottage on an island. The thresholds were high and the door openings low. Whenever we went there, everybody banged their heads for the first few days, and when we returned home then everybody ducked in every doorway even though there was no need for it. Lovely memories!!!

My New Apartment Has This Shower Head, And I'm Only 6'1"
Dynein 5 years ago
These issues with shower heads would be so easily solved with these "moveable" shower heads that are common in Germany (there's more and more of this other kind these days, though - I hope the trend stops, I prefer the movable ones which have the advantage of being the correct size for everyone).
Honu 5 years ago
Even replacing that with a handheld would raise its height to a more usable level when in place. I don't understand why fixed shower heads are a thing here in the US. It seems the rest of the world understands you need to wash parts of your body that cannot easily be reached by a spray fixed over your head.

i love to sit on a seat where someone had parked his dirty shoes! Jeezz, at least put a newspaper or something on it!

I Was Volunteering At A Library And Everyone Told Me To Be Shorter

In a library (or grocery store) it's Great to be tall! You can reach anything you want from the top shelves / back of the shelf all by yourself! ;)

Judging by the brow-to-beam distance, I'd say he grew 1 1/2 inches or so.

Unless your phone is sporting a telephoto lense, I think that screen is pretty unreadable.

You Lot Can Understand

The note here is that all of the tall people vs ATM pictures are at accessible ATMs, which are shorter to accommodate those in a wheelchair. This is not a "tall person thing", this is spitting on people who need the lower ATMs.

Ironic that they are complaining that things are not adapted to themselves to the extent that they complain about things being adapted for others

Your hands should be facing the other direction for an easier pull-up.

I Guess Only Short People Are Allowed To Shower In This House

Looks like this one has a hand held shower spray. Some of the others didn't. That's got to be a bonus.

Same issue for lefties. Most of the world is made for right handed people. I'm having a problem all the time signing things. The pens with chain are always on the right and the chain does not reach for me to sign with left hand. Always have to ask a pen which is not attached to the counter

Leftie here as well... most of us have learned to become ambidextrous due to living in a rightie world. I hate those electronic pads for you to sign. I wind up sliding my hand over the screen and it looks like hell. And yes to the short chains.

As a very short person (5'0''), I can't relate but this was very enlightening.

Here we go again...international site operating from Lithuania, collecting posts from all around the world and yet you are not able to convert feets to (centi)meters to help the non-US readers better imagine different sizes mentioned in this article and you insist on using the Imperial system. And it is always like this. Everything on BP is measured in feets and miles and gallons. Why? I believe that it is difficult for thousands of BP readers to imagine how tall is a 6`1 person or how much is a cubic yard. Can we have both Metric/Imperial units shown in the articles and next to photos?

Can definitely relate (6'3"). I have issues with showers and with stairs. Cars can also be problematic. Mirrors not so much.

Visitors laugh at our kitchen. I'm 5ft2 my hubs and boys are 6'2 or above. The island is lower than norm cuz that's where I do most of the chopping/kneading/prep and the counter/sink is higher than norm cuz they do most the dishes. I have a custom step for when I do dishes.

Barron Trump, he appears to be 6'6" at 14. But good luck to you.

There's a news story and accompanying photo that does the rounds every couple of years of two cops in the city of Cairns, in Queensland, Australia. Male cop is 6ft 9ins (just over 2m), while his female partner is 5ft 1ins (1.54m). I would pay good money to see the male cop unfold himself from the front seat of the front seat of the patrol car.
