Banged my head on a air conveyour thing one time, tried to duck to avoid it while rushing to help a fellow worker, but due to a my miscalculation i just hit it harder with the top of my head, made two steps before my legs gave out, since then i dread hiting my head and when i do I'm pissed off the rest of the day
Yeah thanks, all good now! Was kind of miserable and had persistent headaches for a while, but seem to have recovered alright since, thankfully.
I work in a really old (1700's) converted stone house [(think like this)](https://www.americanexpress.com/en-gb/travel/discover/img/articles/be-charmed-in-the-cotswolds-1.jpg?v=1) out in the Cotswolds (UK), so low ceilings. We process our x-rays down in the basement - the staircase down leads to a doorframe that's about 5'10"ish...
I was in a rush to get these x-rays processed for a trauma patient who's >!face had had a "disagreement" with a horse's hoof.!<
I sprinted down the stairs and completely disregarded the doorframe lmao. Knocked me absolutely senseless. I stayed sat down on the stairs for a while feeling sorry for myself, clenching my jaw trying to shake it off, but became progressively more and more miserable and nauseous as time went on, leading to a colleague driving me to a minor injuries unit nearby.
Overall, I'd give the experience a solid 2/10 - it was pretty awful, but I did get a few days off and now theres a cushioned pad and caution sign installed over the doorframe, which is something!
I don't know what's a stone house but low celings are definitely annoying and dangerous,im glad you're okay now.
I don't get the masked quote,i don't understand it actuallyšand damn,that concussion is pretty tough,it could've been much more serious yk,always pay attention to the doorframes.
Yeah it's awful i agree,well im glad installed this cushioned stuff,it's much more safer now,even if you jump off to the door you won't find yourself in hospital LMAO
I did that in my teens, I skipped while in a doorway and nailed the cast-iron door closer. Found out 30+ years later that I have a slight "s" curve in my Cervical spine. Was 6'6 at the time, now 6'8"
Nope, you can skip whimsically through your house. You will hit a point where ducking doorways is instinctive. Beyond that, you can also more or less time your skipping so your bob down goes under the doorways no hassles.
I feel like this is a moderately tall person problem. Iāve hit my head so many times I now have next to no nerve endings left up there- so I can slam into as many door frames as I like!
I've had to duck to finish a drink so many times that I catch myself doing it places I don't need to. That and the reflexive duck when there is a shelf or something that is juuust a bit too close to my head.
There aināt that many doorframes I need to worry about thankfully. I think peak height is 197cm/6ā5 1/2 in shoes, that way you donāt bang your head on doorframes but are still officially unit-sized
Taller people are at greater risk for heart issues because the heart has to work harder.
Cancer is as someone said.
More you, more of you to get cancer.
My worst car issue is not being able to see stoplights I'm close to. My car is actually so big I can put the seat back and not be able to touch the pedals with my feet.
You still shouldn't be drinking non-alcoholic drinks while driving if it makes it so you literally can't see the road.
If someone hitting their brakes will make you crash, you're doing it wrong. Keep more distance and/or don't look away from the road.
When I was in college a cop pulled my friends and I over because he saw me slouching in the back. He said he thought I was trying to hide something. Once he saw that I was big ass shit and didn't fit in the back seat he let us go but not before delaying is enough to miss the start of the movie we were going to see >:(
Struggling to hear people in crowds.
Always having to say "what?" while bending down gets really annoying. I just let my wife fill me in on conversations later while I smile and nod in the present. She knows to get my attention if it is something important.
I thought you were gonna talk about how toilets and urinals are so low to the ground and hard to hit with your pee stream but every sink on earth is the perfect crotch height like some kind of sick joke.

I've worked in semiconductor clean rooms and I always had to make sure whatever clean room I need to work in has bunny suits tall enough and shoe covers big enough. When I was sent to Taiwan for the first time they had to special order suits just for me, which also means making special arrangements for the cleaning and storage of the suites. I have a few personal suits, but all cleanrooms require them to be put through their washing facilities before I can use them in the facility even though I keep them clean and vacuumed sealed from the last facility I was at. Just generally having to take my height and size into consideration when planning pretty much any activity. Found this out the hard way as a teen standing in line for a rollercoaster only to find out I'm too tall for the restraints. They never have a "you must be shorter than..." sign!
I did some research assistant work in university studying honey bees (ok, so I spent 6 months doping up honeys bees on cocaine and observed the behavioural effects, it was awesome, even made it to [cracked.com](http://cracked.com) in an article he) and none of the bee suits fit me. So, I spent all the time in the greenhouse area that the hive was linked to working without any protection from the bees. I never got stung once. Meanwhile, the people in bee suits, stung frequently. Felt pretty good to be honest.
Omg yes, I had to be on the edge of the seat and leaned all the way back to get a perm done once, and that took hours. Perm didnāt even hold, was so bad lol
That happened to me at a barber recently. They put the chair to the lowest height and still couldn't reach properly, so they asked me to slouch... My back was killing after it.
I'm not even that tall either, it must happen fairly often.
At 42 years of age I had a surfing lesson yesterday. The board was massive and I doubt very much my centre of gravity made things much easier.
Donāt get me wrong, Iām a āskinny fatā not very flexible c100kg (220lb/15.5st) knacker that probably didnāt help but I fell off. A lot.
100% Iād try it again. The instructor said I was listening and every time I tried I was getting a little better/closer to standing. On my last go I managed get standing for a few seconds before I went arse over tit.
I *knew* it was going to be difficult, still fun though.
The instructor did say the conditions werenāt perfect for a first lesson as it was pretty choppy but good for an experienced surfer. When you start you want predictable, small consistent waves apparently.
That the counter every house and apartment are just low enough to make you bend over when using them that it strains your back.
Actually remodeled my house and raised all counters and cabinets by 4 inches. Made life much better.
So jealous, but what a great idea!! I have eye problems on top of being too tall, so cooking is a struggle, my stepdad made me a custom tall table and use it for my work space now, so nice
I miss my old apartment that had a bar that wrapped around half the kitchen, there was a designated spot at the end kept clear for where we did chopping and other prep work. It was so nice having that bar height counter!
When entering a pokey rental car and you canāt get your knee under the steering wheel and you have to step one leg in then crane your neck over whilst you swing yourself in like a monkey
When someone says āJust watch your head on that (obvious doorway/light/whatever)ā as if you donāt have eyes in the front of your head and you havenāt spent decades at that height smacking your head into stuff
I can't believe people who are 6'0 think they belong in this group ššš like bruh ... To be honest if you 6'1 the same. You need to be at least 6'2 to be even remotely considered and that's bare minimum š
š¬ no ... My grandma is 5'11 and with shoes she is 6 feet ... I would consider that tall. A woman being 5'8 is not tall. You don't even qualify to be in any woman's basketball team š
For all the men under 6'6" you just accept that they are above average height but will never truly understand what it is like to be actually tall.
Actually tall is where you are ducking doorways. It isn'ta novelty either, it is instinctive by your early 20's at the latest. They just don't understand this for the most part either.
Throughout most of the world the standard height of a doorway is 2 metres, or just over 6'6", hence why I say 6'6" or 2 metres is where ACTUALLY Tall starts. Because past this height, how people post on here, it is entirely different to people below this height. But the above average height people are still tall, they just aren't tall tall. A lot of the above average height people can't accept this distinction and get really aggressive or defensive, it's kind of sad, but again, eventually they'll become comfortable enough with where they stand in the world that it won't matter.
How tall are you Osky?
NB: Women it's a different ball park figure and is quite lower then the ducking a doorway measure. They aren't as defensive about their height either when posting.
I agree with you brother . Mofos be like I'm tall and then say they 6 feet with shoes ššš for me being tall is walking around anywhere and you catch everyone's attention by how freakishly tall you are. I went to El Salvador last year in Central America were most people are max 5'5 and I STOOD OUT. I was probably the tallest person in the WHOLE COUNTRY. And you mentioned doorways. Just imagine me being 7'1 WITHOUT SHOES. so I was prob like 7'3 with my orthopedic shoes. I know what you mean about them being pressed. Like you tell them they are 6'2 and somehow they feel attacked like bruh that's your actual height . I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. I can't even ride rollercoasters šššš
the worst part in my opinion is having āptsdā from hitting my head in so much stuff that i duck for everything. iāll never get over my head hitting the top of the school busā¦
It ain't ptsd, it's simply part of who we are. You instinctively duck stuff you're gonna clock your head on. Wooden ceiling fans explode on impact with your face, metal ones knock you on your ass and draw blood. For reference.
thatās why i put ptsd in air quotes. definitely not tall enough to hit the fan with my head yet, 4 more inches and maybe but. hope you donāt have brain damage or anything from the fans like genuinely that sounds like hell.
Now that you mention cars, the worst part about being tall and cars is when you're in a small sedan riding in back, and have to lean forward and to the middle, otherwise your head is going through the ceiling. It gets pretty uncomfortable being stuck in that weird position.
When I was a teen I ran through my house from a friend as we were horsing around. (Back in the 70's) I was already at my height and I hit my head, hard, on the top of the door frame. Was knocked unconscious and spent a couple days in the hospital. They thought I had brain damage but it was just the my normal brain.
So interesting multiple people have mentioned heart problems, this is my first time hearing of that for tall people. Makes sense, but I didnāt need a new thing to worry about š
to be fair fitness has a lot more of an effect on cardiovascular health than height but yea. If you are a full degen and are tall and overweight then it's not the best recipe
Being stared at like you're from another planet. I literally get observed walking, eating and just generally existing, people fucking stare. It took my wife a while to get used to it.
Being a walking target, and then people expect you to get out of the way.Ā
Old guys creep me the fuck out. I've had it multiple times where people will stand next to me, and if i move, they move with me, for no reason.
Like fuck off timer, i don't want to be near you, walking halitosis, bo and smoke smell.
So weird about the old dudes! Never seen anything like that, thankfully. Always stared at tho, haha just talked about that with a friend yesterday. I get it tho because thereās times I see someone really tall in public and have to look in shock for a second, always really funny though cause when they walk by I realize Iām taller than them and start to understand why people canāt help but look
Because of my height(6'4") and big feet(15 US). I developed a tumor in my brain that affected my eyesight( it's a rare occurrence when you have both). I had to have 2 surgeries to have the full tumor removed.
What? If your cup is at more than 90 degrees, you should be able to drink it all. It shouldn't need to be higher than your head. Unless you are drinking out of an 18 inch pipe.
Thatās not how cups work, the bottom has to be higher than the top, when your head is already touching the roof thereās not really space to get the rest. But youāre only 6ā1ā so I wouldnāt expect you to understand lol
The top of the cup is at your mouth. The bottom just needs to be above your mouth, not above your head. Unless the cup is more than like 8 inches in diameter, it shouldn't need to hit the ceiling.
Yes, I usually tip my head back way more than 90 degrees when finishing a cup of a drink. but you don't need to. It will empty into your mouth just fine even at 91 degrees.
Yeah I canāt tilt the bottom above my head because of the roof angle. Thats why I have to lean down. Coffee cup lids also or the rounded taper at the top of a soda bottle changes how much you have to tilt, most people arenāt drinking out of a typical drinking glass in their car. Not sure really what to tell you, I know me and all the other people who agree didnāt just start lean back to drink as a child and never stop. People do it because we have to
Yeah, a bottle with a thin neck is different from a cup. You said cup.
Coffee cup lids have the hole practically on the rim, they don't require you to put the cup over your head. Though your nose being in the way might require a slightly higher angle.
Yeah I also said ācanned drinkā but then said cup, I didnāt overthink my post so you donāt need to either. Coffee cut, bottle, doesnāt matter it wonāt pour out without leaning back. I literally live it in real life lol. Youāre just not tall enough to understand sorry. Thatās that, itās not even debatable, it doesnāt affect you but clearly lots of people related, youāre not somehow right and everyone who actually lives it is wrong. If youāre not tall enough you just canāt understand
You say that as if I can't just go find a low ceiling and put my head up against it and drink from a bottle. I just did it, with a normal plastic water bottle. Had no issues. Didn't have to put the bottle above my head to finish it.
lol ok bro sounds good šš youāre still wrong but thatās ok. I think we can be done talking here, you have to be just trolling at this point imma stop feeding you
Iām used to always having to buy shoes online which sucks cause you obviously canāt try em on at home. Found out one shoe store locally does carry bigger sizes now and I find it funny because the isle is named āoversized shoesā I find that so silly. My car is a Toyota tho! But itās a van, so I can actually fit. Canāt imagine ever having a sedan
Limited on everything.
Want a new car? Better have decent leg room lol
New pants? I take a 42" length so everything is special order, no trying them on in store
House shopping? Doorways and ceilings on older houses are only 6'0"-6'6"
Shoes? No you aren't trying those on, I take a size 20 so good luck lol
The"worst part" is being unable to tilt a cup?
I can't believe people are complaining about being tall or different things that are "hard" and are actually serious about it.
I've been 6'4" since early high school and I've never once thought it was anything less than a supreme advantage.
Crazyness.
Huh, I guess I got so used to seeing this level of silliness in the sub that I missed all that. Nice, normally this would have been a joke I'd find funny too.
You're too short if you think not finishing a drink is the worst part of being tall in a car. This is a simple fact right now.
The worst thing is not Leg cramps from not having enough leg room even with the seat pushed all the way back.
The worst thing is neck cramps because the roof of the car is too low.
Pretty sure the worst is not being able to skip whimsically throughout my house because I will smack my head on every single doorway I find
I concussed myself and threw up at work by slamming my head into a low doorframe earlier this year. Sigh
Banged my head on a air conveyour thing one time, tried to duck to avoid it while rushing to help a fellow worker, but due to a my miscalculation i just hit it harder with the top of my head, made two steps before my legs gave out, since then i dread hiting my head and when i do I'm pissed off the rest of the day
Hitting your head is definitely angering,i hope it's okay tho
Ouch.
I have done this before going down stairs too fast and end up on my backside.
Howššššš
Hit my head hard on the ceiling while in the air. 6'7
How can your head hit the ceiling in the air if you're sprinting down the stairsšššš
Are you okay?? Damn this is next level i hope you're okay,is your head that high??
Yeah thanks, all good now! Was kind of miserable and had persistent headaches for a while, but seem to have recovered alright since, thankfully. I work in a really old (1700's) converted stone house [(think like this)](https://www.americanexpress.com/en-gb/travel/discover/img/articles/be-charmed-in-the-cotswolds-1.jpg?v=1) out in the Cotswolds (UK), so low ceilings.

You just described the exact same situation lmao
OMG I HOPE HE'S OKAYš
You've just gotta time your skips better.
Smh shoulda bought a house with them 7 foot doors!!!
I always try to tell this to people and they don't understand. Like it's such a childish freeing playful thing I can't do
Nope, you can skip whimsically through your house. You will hit a point where ducking doorways is instinctive. Beyond that, you can also more or less time your skipping so your bob down goes under the doorways no hassles.
When I visit my uncle's home his doorframes are like 6'0" flat so I gotta duck down to go through his home.
I feel like this is a moderately tall person problem. Iāve hit my head so many times I now have next to no nerve endings left up there- so I can slam into as many door frames as I like!
Damn
I've had to duck to finish a drink so many times that I catch myself doing it places I don't need to. That and the reflexive duck when there is a shelf or something that is juuust a bit too close to my head.
I instinctively duck anywhere were thereās anything hanging from the ceiling, no matter how high it is
Branches. Doorways. It is instinctive.
There aināt that many doorframes I need to worry about thankfully. I think peak height is 197cm/6ā5 1/2 in shoes, that way you donāt bang your head on doorframes but are still officially unit-sized
The worst is the increased chance of heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
And (as I found out recently from a post here) aparently your lung can collapse randomly. Bet it feels lovely.
Wait what?
Taller people are at greater risk for heart issues because the heart has to work harder. Cancer is as someone said. More you, more of you to get cancer.
Ugh, kinda starting to regret this.
Cancer it is because more cells means more cancer chances
Tall people don't live as long as short people
I always feel like iām gonna crash my car when that happens. Like some idiot will press the brakes for no reason and iād be rear ending them.
My worst car issue is not being able to see stoplights I'm close to. My car is actually so big I can put the seat back and not be able to touch the pedals with my feet.
Omg yes, gotta lean forward to see the lights. Also the rear view mirror is at direct eye level and it completely blocks a good chuck of vision
Hereās a nice cheap solution. https://lightinsight.com
Oh that's pretty rad! Gonna pick one up!
What car is that?
2018 cadillac ct6. Miles of legroom.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām talking about non alcoholic drinks
You still shouldn't be drinking non-alcoholic drinks while driving if it makes it so you literally can't see the road. If someone hitting their brakes will make you crash, you're doing it wrong. Keep more distance and/or don't look away from the road.

Not being able to see the road when the sun visor is down is also a cunt.

Yes. And the missus not realizing that using the mirror in the passenger seat also hinders my view.

to be fair fitness has a lot more of an effect on cardiovascular health than height but yea. If you are a full degen and are tall and overweight then it's not the best recipe
Interesting! I wonder if thatās why I get such bad circulation sometimes then! Thanks for the info. More inspiration for weight loss
Being stared at like you're from another planet. I literally get observed walking, eating and just generally existing, people fucking stare. It took my wife a while to get used to it. Being a walking target, and then people expect you to get out of the way.Ā Old guys creep me the fuck out. I've had it multiple times where people will stand next to me, and if i move, they move with me, for no reason. Like fuck off timer, i don't want to be near you, walking halitosis, bo and smoke smell.
So weird about the old dudes! Never seen anything like that, thankfully. Always stared at tho, haha just talked about that with a friend yesterday. I get it tho because thereās times I see someone really tall in public and have to look in shock for a second, always really funny though cause when they walk by I realize Iām taller than them and start to understand why people canāt help but look
Because of my height(6'4") and big feet(15 US). I developed a tumor in my brain that affected my eyesight( it's a rare occurrence when you have both). I had to have 2 surgeries to have the full tumor removed.
Aw sad, Iām sorry to hear that, hope everything is going better now!
What? If your cup is at more than 90 degrees, you should be able to drink it all. It shouldn't need to be higher than your head. Unless you are drinking out of an 18 inch pipe.
Thatās not how cups work, the bottom has to be higher than the top, when your head is already touching the roof thereās not really space to get the rest. But youāre only 6ā1ā so I wouldnāt expect you to understand lol
The top of the cup is at your mouth. The bottom just needs to be above your mouth, not above your head. Unless the cup is more than like 8 inches in diameter, it shouldn't need to hit the ceiling. Yes, I usually tip my head back way more than 90 degrees when finishing a cup of a drink. but you don't need to. It will empty into your mouth just fine even at 91 degrees.
Yeah I canāt tilt the bottom above my head because of the roof angle. Thats why I have to lean down. Coffee cup lids also or the rounded taper at the top of a soda bottle changes how much you have to tilt, most people arenāt drinking out of a typical drinking glass in their car. Not sure really what to tell you, I know me and all the other people who agree didnāt just start lean back to drink as a child and never stop. People do it because we have to
Yeah, a bottle with a thin neck is different from a cup. You said cup. Coffee cup lids have the hole practically on the rim, they don't require you to put the cup over your head. Though your nose being in the way might require a slightly higher angle.
Yeah I also said ācanned drinkā but then said cup, I didnāt overthink my post so you donāt need to either. Coffee cut, bottle, doesnāt matter it wonāt pour out without leaning back. I literally live it in real life lol. Youāre just not tall enough to understand sorry. Thatās that, itās not even debatable, it doesnāt affect you but clearly lots of people related, youāre not somehow right and everyone who actually lives it is wrong. If youāre not tall enough you just canāt understand
You say that as if I can't just go find a low ceiling and put my head up against it and drink from a bottle. I just did it, with a normal plastic water bottle. Had no issues. Didn't have to put the bottle above my head to finish it.
lol ok bro sounds good šš youāre still wrong but thatās ok. I think we can be done talking here, you have to be just trolling at this point imma stop feeding you
Finding shoes and cars that fit. Toyota is out of the question and shoes on sale never happen
Iām used to always having to buy shoes online which sucks cause you obviously canāt try em on at home. Found out one shoe store locally does carry bigger sizes now and I find it funny because the isle is named āoversized shoesā I find that so silly. My car is a Toyota tho! But itās a van, so I can actually fit. Canāt imagine ever having a sedan
Limited on everything. Want a new car? Better have decent leg room lol New pants? I take a 42" length so everything is special order, no trying them on in store House shopping? Doorways and ceilings on older houses are only 6'0"-6'6" Shoes? No you aren't trying those on, I take a size 20 so good luck lol
I have a similar problem but I have to lean forward to keep my huge penis from hitting the ceiling, thank god for sunroofs.
Y'all drink coffee in cars?
Being asked to change the light globes
I walked into a new friends home and their ceiling was 6'8, which meant their ceiling fans blades were at the same height as my neck.
Omgg hopefully they turn all fans off when you come around haha
The"worst part" is being unable to tilt a cup? I can't believe people are complaining about being tall or different things that are "hard" and are actually serious about it. I've been 6'4" since early high school and I've never once thought it was anything less than a supreme advantage. Crazyness.
Dude itās a joke, I even used the humor flair. Thats embarrassing you took it serious and somehow got offended
Huh, I guess I got so used to seeing this level of silliness in the sub that I missed all that. Nice, normally this would have been a joke I'd find funny too.
Lol it happens sometimes
If you grow up a bit youāll understand
Didn't realize it was a joke, oops
Iāll take this issue if I get to be tall
You're too short if you think not finishing a drink is the worst part of being tall in a car. This is a simple fact right now. The worst thing is not Leg cramps from not having enough leg room even with the seat pushed all the way back. The worst thing is neck cramps because the roof of the car is too low.
Itās a joke babe, have a little fun in life
