Disadvantages Of Being Tall by tosyne2much(m): 7:07am On Sep 19, 2014
Being tall seems so good that people wish they were tall.. Unless you are tall, or you are very observant, you never really think that tall people do actually
have it bad sometimes. I'm a guy of 6ft 4in tall and I know what it feels like.. So let's take a look at the biggest disadvantages of being tall.

1. Standing Out In a Party,

I personally avoid dancing in a party when I see every guy who is shorter dancing with any random lady and I jst keep looking weird because if i dance everyone will see me and I don't like being the center of attention in such accassion.

1. Beds Are Too Small

There's nothing worse than your
feet hanging off the bed when
you are trying to get to sleep. I remembered when I was in the hostel, sleeping on a mattres that 2ft of my legs would be long and out on the floor. An average size bed will not fit you perfectly


2. Blocking Other People's Views

You have all been there. You are in a church, or a lecture theatre and some short people behind you are finding it difficult to see due to your height.. It really feels like intimidating these people.. Sometimes, when the are being frustrated, you hear some of them hissing at you

3. During Laundry and Leaning
Most times when I go to church for sanitation, mopping the church auditorium seems like hell. I hate bending down to wash my dirty clothes and wash the dishes. I usually spend a good 2 hours as a minimum washing my clothes and there's nothing worse than having to bend your back for the whole
process.

4. You Have To Be Selective Hugging

It's sometimes awkward when you want to hug someone who is short, I feel very uncomfortable because those passing by would probably be laughing inwardly

5. Can't Take Pictures With People Anyhow -
During an occassion or a wedding reception, you see a short or an average height person taking pictures here and there.. Most times when I take pictures with a not so tall person, I always want it to be in a close shot so that the height difference would not be noticed

6. Sitting on Public Transport Seats Is Very Uncomfortable.

Whether it's danfo buses, travel buses. Try having to endure a 7 hour journey in a cramped seat with my knees being shredded by the seat in front of you. It's modern day torture for me

1: standing out anywhere makes u unique, 2: there are long matresses, I sleep on and I don't see my leg over and out, 3: blocking peoples view: gadammit, I never ask them to be short. Bear it or change position. 4: my friend u are just being lazy, bend down and get use to it. 5: hugging: am not use to hugging guys sha, but I dey hug girls well, some very short, and its all normal around. 6: photo: I sabi take am wella, but I no too like to take am with short person wey no gree stand for u, short person has to measure up and not me measuring down. 7: travel: hehehe, always go early and take the seat after the dRiver, dats d first Row after the driver's seat. Enuf space always dey dia. N if its ur caR, adjust seat sharperly

I'm 6ft 2in. And number two is particularly annoying at viewing centres.

I usually like sitting at the front, very close to d TV- especially when my darling team is involved. But becos of my height, it's usually impossible to sit there.

You hear stuffs like ''bros abeg, you for come back o''.. This one is being polite. Another may say rudely ''bros abeg no be you we come watch o, make you go back''

And No.6, is sooo true! I detest travelling in public transport mehn.

Yes,,it makes you unique and sometimes the centre of attraction sometimes it's embarrassing undecided

2: there are long matresses, I sleep on and I don't see my leg over and out,
Did you attend a boarding school??...if yes,,you'll understand what the Op is saying..most of the bunks are not made for people above 6ft

3: blocking peoples view: gadammit, I never ask them to be short. Bear it or change position.
it doesn't mean you should intimidate people below your height,,when you get to class,,simply go to the back where no one will complain undecided

If you have your money.... forget all those.

1. Standing out in a party if you have money people won't care how tall your might be,they will drag you to the dance flour or let you be.

2. Beds are too small.. i just have to laugh on this...really? get your money even if you want to sleep on river,have you ever seen jackson's bed it can occupy 10 people or more.

3. Block other other people's view. People don't give a damn,they wanna look at you in the first place..... they want to see the money in you.

4. Can't take pix woth other people... op,pls get money,people will queue to take pix with you,you might feel awkward though buh you will be happy.

Sitting in public transport what are you doing there in d first place.... av u eva seen dangote in public trans?






in summary,get money and forget all op's point....
