This happened to me just last week. I almost wanted to thank the old lady who asked me for asking.

I’m 6’5" and my fiance is 6’. We also both worked retail at a point and this is indeed a common occurrence, and I never mind it.

I did 12 years in retail at 6’7

At one point people stopped using the ladder to reach items for their customers and literally interrupted me to have me fetch items (their manager) and I had to say at one point, I’m not your ladder. If I’m busy get it yourself or be patient until I’m finished my current task/sale. If I’m not busy I don’t mind helping but it can’t be exclusively my problem that you are short.

It’s the one time I’m happy to be tall. Almost makes up for all those head injuries!

Ya people don’t realize how inconvenient it can be to be tall. Airplanes? Backs of cars? Short ceilings and ductwork? Desks? Chairs? Group photos? Good knees?

So many things are hard to live with lol.

Ceiling fans! The one in my own apartment is legit just above my head and my little brothers hits me right about the eye if I weren’t paying attention.

Was a the grocery store and noticed a girl struggling to reach something, I figured it would be the perfect way to break the ice and say something to her except I was the same height as her…

6’12" Chadworth McChad turns the corner just as I was about to make a fool of myself so I should probably be thankful she immediately asked him to help lol

Such a missed opportunity

You forgot the obligatory question if you do any typical things long beings do. E.g. basketball
