Do you have trouble getting things out of the kitchen cabinets because you can't reach them. Do you try to get in the front of the crowd when there is a parade or show. How tall are you, I am 5 foot and I can't reach anything in the cabinet. I get so irritated because I either have to have some one else get it or go find something to stand on. And when there is a parade if I am behind someone then I can't see. I think we should all be the same size wouldn't that be funny. How do you handle being too short.

I am about 5'4 I really hate when you go to a movie theater and someone who is over 6 foot sits in front of you and then you cant see and they know you can't see it makes me so mad! I think the world would look funny if we were all the same height though. Would we all be the same weight too? he he

I am 6ft 1 inch tall. In fact i am the tallest in my family. I have never had problems getting things from the kitchen cabinets but only i fear about that sometimes my hand wouldn't come in the moving fan...lol I never faced any problems watching a parade or a show from behind, my height always helped me in that case.Infact, people tend to look upto me if they need my help in getting something from over the cupboard which is out of their reach. The first thing people remark about me every time, is how much tall i am? And they just taunt me as to how will they find a girl for me.. Moreover, i am a little slim too so that makes me look more taller. I have my pics uploaded, so u can have a view.. But staying away from home has some disadvantages.. Anyway, trying to improve.. I have joined a gymnasium..lol

I have the same problems I am the same height as you, I could never ring my friend's doorbell it was too high for me. Remember the movie theater and how you could not see past the big head in front of you. I can't change light bulbs, reach second tire cabinets or even select things from the top shelves of a store.

When I was a skinny little kid and hadn't gotten any growth spurts yet, I did feel the frustration of being short from time to time, but at 5'4" I feel my height is just right in proportion to the rest of me. I keep a small lightweight step stool under the butcher block in my kitchen, though, and do use it frequently. Eventually we may get around to getting those cabinet organizers that pull out and drop down for easy access. I call my blog The Empty Cabinets of My Mind because the idea for starting it came the same day that I installed our first Rev-A-Shelf organizer: http://drann.typepad.com/the_empty_cabinets_of_my_/2008/01/why-does-everyo.html

I am 5 foot 7 inches and I don't have any trouble getting things down from the cupboards but if I have to get something off of the top of the cupboard I still have to get a stool or chair and climb onto the counter. I used to be 5 foot 9 1/2 inches in height but over the years I have shrunk. I have been tested for bone density and everything is okay so it isn't anything that is affecting my health. I am sure part of it is bad posture.

I am about 5'2. It seems like most people in my family are pretty short, so I fit right in, but I have a very tall husband, so he can reach things for me! I sometimes have to climb up on a chair or even up on the counter to reach things up on the higher shelves, but I usually just try to keep the things that I know I'll need to use the most often on the lower shelves, and then the things that I know I won't use as much can go on the higher shelves. :)

I am only 5'4" and it's too short for those who have more than 6 feet in height. But my height does not prevent me from reaching something in life. We can reach something by placing a table or chair where we can stand and reach the unreachable things only tall players can reach by merely extending their long hands. It can be true to our dreams. Our shortness in height is not a big factor in reaching our dreams. Good day to you!
