Tall People Problems

I can relate to so many of the things on this site:

I think we should share some of the frustrations we have about being tall. What's your biggest tall person problem?

RE: Tall People Problems

I am 6'3", and can't really say there are many disadvantages/problems with being tall with the exception of riding with a short person driving who has a bench seat in their vehicle. The seat is so far forward my knees are all up in the dashboard. I rarely ride with someone else though, so not really a major problem. I don't even remember when the last time I rode in the BACKSEAT.

Great Site... funny!
I have (almost) always thought being tall is an advantage, but there are some annoyances...

  • Buying Shoes and Dress Shirts (I love paying twice the price at the big and tall store)
  • Bathtubs (It's like sitting in a puddle)
  • Small Cars (Ug!)
  • Airplanes (Double Ug!)
  • The good old "You can reach that, could you do this for me" (Which I really don't mind)
  • Low hanging chandeliers (Clank/Rattle/Ouch!)
  • While traveling in Europe I discovered many of the doors are only 6'4" openings, It only took walking into about half a dozen of those before I learned to duck!
All these are minor and come with the territory, but one thing that often bugs/amuses me is during holidays Supermarkets often string streamers etc. over the supermarket checkout line... do they always pick the shortest person in the store to put them up? :)

They are problems I can live with but it is finding shirt sleeves and pants legs that are long enough, seating I can fit in on a plane (economy), and urinals that mounted so low which is a little more challenging to aim at. All small stuff really.

My biggest "tall person" problem is clothing. I have a 36 inch inseam. I usually have to get the longest possible and hope the pants ride a little low. With shirts, sleeves are never long enough. :/ Jackets, coats, by the time i get the right arm length there's room for another half person inside the coat.

Gym/public showers. They are usually at my chest height, have to bend right over just to wash my hair.

Buying stylish clothes. Economy sears on airplanes, long sheets and mattresses, choir robe!

I'm 6'7" or 200cm. Just about everything man made is an irritation if not a problem. It's all too small. On the other hand, when I get out into nature everything is just the right size. I called an Uber a while back and couldn't fit in the front or back seat. No head or leg room. You can request a roomier Uber but that costs extra. Cost is another thing. Finding clothes is hard enough, finding them on sale or a reasonable price is really tough. The list is long. Still, I really don't wish to be any shorter. I like being taller than most.
