    Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.

    You should have worked with small people. That works better.

      Can confirm.

      Am short and have dragged many coworkers down from their lofty peaks to my dreaded land of needing step ladders.

      Also occasionally delving too greedily and too deep.

        Being below average height is where it’s at. I rarely bump my head on anything. I’m a smaller target for gunfire (am American). I have never had an issue finding clothes or shoes in my size. The world is built for me. And I guess 5’8 ain’t too short, but it’s below average, and so I’ve accepted it.

          5’9" if I’m not slouching. Which I do when I’m standing, so I look even shorter.

          As a fellow Burgerreicher, I truly appreciate you pointing out that we’re both smaller targets!
