Hey. How's it going.

I'm short. I have no problems with this (usually.)

Any other Tropers feel the same?

I have problems with it occasionally, but it's not often enough to really bother me.

How short are you?

@Matt: Stepladders are great. But I still would rather not have to be inconvenienced, so my top shelves remain empty.

Why we have stools, and tall big brothers tongue (though I'm not sure I count since I'm 5'4 which is average for women, even if I can't reach the top shelf)

153 cm here. And the weirdest thing, I've used to be rather tall as a kid. It seems that I grew up all at once in primary school and then just stayed that way

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

My mom says I'm 'five foot nothing', which is just that: Exactly 5'. And yes, I can't reach the top shelf either. I also had a friend who was even shorter than me, and she was around the same height as elementary age siblings.

Five feet even! Whoo!

I'm very well-acquainted with stools, chairs, and ladders.

I'm 5′6″.

Which probably means I'm a little too big for this coven, but whatever.

Another 5' even! And a featherweight, so I can swing up scaffolding and scurry up shelves like a monkey. Who needs to be able to reach the tall shelf when you can just climb the other shelves to it? [lol]

Don't know my exact height, but... I too am short.

And I'm suspicious that the house I'm living in was built for unusually tall people.

Bless the power of an empty milk crate turned upside-down. Super sturdy, and more convenient to move than a chair! Though not quite as high, it's good for when something is just barely out of reach.

Mr Lavisher Moot: 5'6" is generally average, but in some areas that's considered low-average or short. Welcome to the thread!

Napoleon is always called short, but he was 5'6, so take that as you will.

Also keep in mind that people today are generally taller than those a few hundred years ago. He would have been average or even higher-average.

Can I join? At 4'10, I think I qualify. And who needs step ladders when you can just make someone else get stuff for you?cool
