So I just took a shower ..You know why???Just because i happen to be the taller one i my family, my mom thought i should be the one cleaning the spider webs hanging on the walls and destroy their built housing....Its not like i have a sentiment towards them but its just that i care about about my cleanliness..Because as i cleaned the webs, all that stuff would fall directly on my head...Man i hate cleaning up.... Has something like this ever happened to you????Have you ever regretted being tall????

Yeah, why not as if my house was not enough to clean and I end up cleaning ceilings for other people as well, I am not that much of an angel actually. :P

At least you took a shower AFTER you got rid of the spider webs I spent my childhood through high school being a very short person. I grew2 a foot taller after I graduated, thankfully. Nope, I have never regretted being tall

I think that's just fine. IF that would just be my room i would religiously clean it to the last dust i see there. hehe. I just like to see my place very clean and after all the hard work i could really appreciate all that i have done to make the place neat and clean. I think there are also other ways to clean cobwebs in your ceiling without getting dirty. Like as i have seen in the tv a long time ago, there was this magic mop where the tip is made up of some kind of sponge material which absorbs dusts and prevents it from falling off you and spreading away. I actually get you point in that, because there are times when i go to grocery with my mom and if she cant reach the item on top of the shelf, she would ask me to get it for her. I think its kind of similar to your situation but its just not that hard to do as in your case. hehe

Im ok tall, just the second tallest in my fam, and thankfully, our Dad's still taller than me. I've always wanted to be tall, it gives you natural majesty, and power, if you know what i mean. I often seen taller guys bend their head when they have to stand in the bus, and i thought that was just about the most regrettable thing about being tall. Tall = play good basketball, automatic cool and stuff like that. There's a lot more advantage to being tall than being short, even if it means cleaning cowebs, its worth it. I may sound silly, but that's how i've always thought about taller people.

Thats an awesome height! There are people willing to dust celings forever to just become an inch or two taller. Good luck.

I guess you are right there are way more advantages of being tall ...Like it helps me being better than most of the others in basketball..You know because i'm 6" feet....

Your situation is much better than the plight of short persons like me. I had to stand first in line of every assembly in school when my friends were making merry at the back It is much harder for shorter persons to create a good first impression. There is only one advantage i can think of.Most car manufactures hire short people, so that they can easily fix parts under the car.

Yes, thats true..I was glad I was at the back of the line, far away from the PT master.

My husband is very tall as compared to me and i have always found his height as an advantage because i am a short person and whenever i have to bring down something from upper almirahs and cupboards,he is always there for me and i feel very proud when i talk to him with my head held high. Jokes apart but i just love his height and i hope my son also has his height gene from his father.

no but i sure hate being short!!! i would love to be a few inches taller. i am only 5'1" and it is hard to carry extra weight when you are short because it is noticeable right away and i can never reach things on the top shelf at the grocery store. i also cannot reach things around my house especially in my kitchen so i have all kinds of gadgets i have to use to get at them including step stools. i guess everyone wishes for something they do not have but this is one wish we can never have as you are the height you are and that is that.

I like to be tall because you can see more and easy to reach higher level and you always give people more impression like when I was in high school, my teacher always remember me :-p

Hi dude i can understand your problem but even if i am short, but the thing is that i am the youngest one in my home and i got to do all the things in my home. whether it is cleaning or going out and getting some thing every one commands me this things wear happening when i was young as i am grown up now the situation is changed. so nothing matters whether your you are tall or short

you got to be happy with the attention you get when you go out because your are height. There are "+" n "-" in everything. how you look upon a thing makes how it looks
