I guess the alternate title for this could be, "Every Chair In The World Is Just A Little Too Tall."|||110593849104192327|||My Legs Are Too Short1/16/2005 11:44 PM|||Anonymous|||I like this one... Same problem for me, a guy short than the normal :)1/17/2005 2:33 AM|||KatieK|||I think it is safe to assume that you won't be growing anymore (at least not vertically), so it might be prudent to accept the misalignment between construction specifications and your height and install a discreet platform in front of places where you do your...um...reading...to alleviate your discomfort. And then v-post about your upgrade.
PS. I'm a woman on the tall side. When I was a teenager all the guys were shorter than I was. My parents' friends used to tease me about how I always dated short guys. I would look them straight in the eye and say, "Well, the most important things in life aren't done standing up."1/17/2005 9:59 AM|||I Eat NY|||michael, you are way too funny. Your choice of visual scenario as example is bold. I feel your pain. I will invent a tool to help us 'vertically challenged'. my most recent prototype is a pile of junk mail taped up as a wedge. what do you think?
Mica1/17/2005 10:06 AM|||Verdi|||Junk mail... that's a great idea. Take care of my problem and recycle at the same time.1/17/2005 11:23 AM|||Dooser|||I heard this story on NPR once about a Japanese guy getting 'height' plastic surgery. They chop that bone in you lower leg in half (lengthwise). Then adjust the two to make you taller:
____ <- original two pieces
____
____ <- new two peices
____
This Japanese guy had a theory that Hitler and Mussolini only did the things they did because they were short and needed to prove themselves.

Forget the plastic surgery - that would hurt too much. I'll become king of the world and decree that all seats must be fourteen inches tall. Screw the tall people!1/17/2005 12:01 PM|||Dooser|||YEA! Screw tall people!!
..wait..I'm somewhat tall. ><1/17/2005 1:46 PM|||jeanette rosati|||Just don't blame being short only on me. Your dad isn't tall either. Seriously, I have been complaining about the same thing for many years. When I sit on a sofa, my feet don't even touch the floor. Try standing up from that position.
See you Thursday.1/17/2005 8:35 PM|||Anonymous|||Nothing that a couple a blocks of wood cut wedge shape couldn't fix, or better yet.....just wear a pair of stilletos. Keep em' right next to the throne.
