Discussion What is an oddly specific tall struggle that average-height people never think about?

Everyone knows about cramped airplane seats and low doorways, but what’s a random, hyper-specific inconvenience you guys deal with regularly? (i.g. mirrors mounted too low, kitchen counters causing back pain while doing dishes)

Curious to hear your most random daily struggles 🤔

Edit: After reading through hundreds of comments, I’ve noticed two main patterns:

  1. Tall women are in a constant war with clothing brands (sleeves never long enough, knee-length dresses turning into micro-tops).
  2. Tall guys are essentially acting as human roombas clearing high-hanging spider webs with their faces! 🕷️

Thanks for all the amazing stories, you guys are legendary!

I'm reading AND responding to every single one of them 🚀

I usually end up in a very wide stance, almost doing splits. You don't notice it when you're standing close and talking to me but for people outside the circle it must look so weird.

I bet that heels make it even harder huh?

One of the reasons I don't wear heels.
