Short Girl Problems

Or chairs where your feet don't touch the ground. I'm 5'3 but all my height is in my torso

I have this problem too!! I relatively short legs and relatively short shins and I'm short to begin with (5'1")

I like my Toyota Yaris though.... it's the only car I've driven where I haven't had to pull the seat right forward to the furthest forward position of all the seat positions to be able to reach the pedals. (it's on the second furthest forward position, and going to the furthest one my knees are resting against the steering column) :drinker: @ Toyota for catering for people with little short legs.

On the plus side, I always get sufficient legroom on economy class flights :drinker:

My fav tool in the kitchen - a step stool!!!

They do say good things come in small packages/sizes..... <giggling>

I'm 5'4". My wife is 5'7". I ask her to get Stuff off the top shelf for me. She likes to say "Hey, could you reach that for...oh never mind" I have always been good at climbing things to reach them, it is good excersize.

i have climbed in/on freezers. I have asked tall ppl to reach things for me, although I find it quite embarrassing. It's tough being vertically challenged at 5' lol

I am married to a shorty also... 5'4"
My daughter looks like she will end up being a shorty as well.... :laugh: :laugh:

So we just make sure we have stools in the house....or they call me. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Yep!!! On a regular basis. At 5'0 you learn to be pretty innovative. My kitchen hand mixer is always on the top shelf in my cupboard. Whenever I need it, I grab a knife and try to hook the coard until it falls into my hand. Works every time. Except, last time I went to use my mixer, it didn't work. Cord was cut......Oops

5'3 and a half. My mother's slightly shorter than me and has shown me how to deal with it, such as if a product you want is far back on a shelf, to take a nearby box and use it to extend your reach. She still has to do a little hop sometimes, though XD

I hate being short.

I am always climbing up on the counters in my kitchen. Although I try to keep the things I use most within my reach, my (6'-tall) husband will inevitably come along and put something I need on one of the higher shelves. We have high ceilings, and some really tall cabinets. Occasionally I have to get a ladder.

I like short girls.
