Now being 6'11 I've faced problems being tall. Don't get me wrong there are advantages of being tall. Many people wish to be tall, yet do they realize the struggles.
Shower's/Bathtub
The luxurious life of having a shower head. Oh wait, did I tell you that I'm taller than the shower head? Plus I can't take bath's anymore even though I wouldn't take one if I were shorter. The privilege to be able to is nice.
Bed Issues
So, if I'm staying out somewhere else and or sleeping on a different bed. I'll be longer than the bed itself and my feet will be dangling at the end, so that they can get cold. It can be uncomfortable. Obnoxious Questions
The annoying questions like. "How tall are you?", "What's the weather like up there?", or "Do you play basketball?" The worst question you can ask someone is if they play basketball. Not doing it will already be a kind act. Leg Space
I've been on airplane before and my god the leg space. It can be quite a pain. There has been times where all I wanted to do was sleep because I can't stretch at all and the knee pains. Blocking the View
At concerts before I'll be in peoples way or a girl will ask me if they can go on my shoulders. Which can get my girlfriend angry. Also at the theaters I'll sit at the back so that I'm not in the way. People have been mad at me before because I was blocking their view. Almost once got into a fight because of it. Rude People
People will take pictures of me without permission. It's the rudest thing to do. There has been times I'll be talking to a friend of mine or just standing there and someone will walk up and take a selfie or pictures of me. Awkward Hugs
Every tall person has felt the awkward hug. It's been a while since I haven't had one and the last time I didn't have one it was because the other guy was around the same height. So we jokingly hugged.
I believe that taller people, especially past a certain height, are prone to certain heart conditions. Biologically speaking, at 6'11", you're too tall. Just like there's such a thing as too short, it's neither advantageous to be either.
Never feel sorry for us tall people, we are about the most overrated people in the world, and have every advantage you can dream of. In 6'8 and find it lovly
The room space in a public transport is a sure fact and even standing in some bus becomes very difficult for me. I wonder how u manage standing in a low roof bus. Am 6 feet 1inch by the way
I personally think being tall has tons of advantages. Tall people are usually much stronger than others, they can reach everything, so a ladder is not always necessary. They probably find better bargains on clothes and shoes, as not that many people have those sizes... And there are studies which say taller people are more successful and earn more money than shorter ones. I don't know, do you think is it bad to be tall? I would like to be a bit taller I guess
Hell all you need is to grown long black hair get a black trench coat and a black hat and you can be the next undertaker. I’m routing for you man now go out and go 21-2 at Wrestlemania
I feel you man. Anything over 5'6'' in india is pain!! Sure you can spot your friends from far away. But a lot of the old buildings have lower ceilings, especially in the bathrooms and the beds are short. I've bumped my head a few times and almost missed my eyes... All I was saying is that I get your pain
