When being a short guy is better

Motivation

For the sake of this post, Short guys are under 5'8" and tall guys are 6'0" and up.

  1. Beds: At 6'0", my feet hang off a twin size bed. A short guy's don't.
  2. Couches: Laying on some couches doesn't work when 6'0"+
  3. Cars: Want to drive a smaller car? Into sports cars? Too bad if you're tall.
  4. Trains/Buses: Have fun riding a school bus at 6'0"+
  5. Planes: A short guy has more leg room.
  6. Shower Heads: Having to bend down hurts your neck
  7. Taking a bath: A taller guy can't lay in a tub.
