Height

[mick590_1]

Are you tall or short? and what problems, if any, does it cause

[***super_nova***]

Used to be 173cm, but shrinking, I am sure.  🙂

Used to be 5'1, think I might be 5' with a push now.

Can't reach top shelf in supermarkets but I have my revenge. Grab a wooden spoon off the display, use it to pull forward what I want and then leave the spoon there. Ok, petty, but I enjoy it.

Hubby is 6' and forgets that I can't reach stuff. So when he puts things away in the pantry it is usually on the top shelf.

haha Katy I used to be 5.1 and a bit, think I have lost the bit now.

Mike was 6 foot, he bought me a stool to stand on, now I have a long pair of tongs to reach stuff.

Lion, I have an old golf club in the walk in robe. I use it to pull forward blankets, pillows etc from high up, then hope I am a good catcher. lol. To get them back up I throw ( about 10 times sometimes :))

It's not my height that is the problem, it's my size 15 shoes..........

It's interesting that we have almost all refered to height in feet and inches.  I'm all over the metric system in everything else except height.  I can estimate 1.8m in length but not in height.  Weird.

Lurker I am the same, I have to google it 🙂

When I have been measured in Hospital I always forget my metric height.

5 foot 4 " or 162.56 cm.

I need a step ladder for high things..........poses a problem as I can't stand any higher than a chair........

I am not allowed to stand on anything higher than a newspaper lol. I have a track record of falling off things and doing myself damage. Makes it hard when you are a shortie.
