Whats it like been a short-arse?

Mycroft H · 14-04-2009 09:32PM #1

Just wondering what it must be like to be small..... Must be a pain not been able to reach the counter at the pub, or no the flip side it must be easier to get under tables.....

Whats it like been vertically challenged?

They should be, they've got the most awesome sport in the world dedicated to them solely because of their shortarsedness.

Ingrates!

6' 2" here. I rarely meet many people taller than me, but I find it intimidating when I do.
I just hack the legs.

I say it would be awesome if you're a ninja, then you could be a minja

Being 5'8" I wouldn't know, sometimes I think it'd be cool, not to be a proper dwarf like, just little and dainty. A tiny little Thai barmaid at home (actually she's called Home), used to be able to walk under the bar and had to like reach up over her head to put drinks on the counter.

I was told a great story today actually!
My friend was on a packed bus to Crumlin with his girlfriend and a dwarf got on. Up jumps some young lad and says "here have my seat". Queue the dwarf laying into the poor boy-"what you think just cause I'm small I need to be offered a seat" etc
Then some old dear at the back piped up-"Snow White wouldn't be very happy with you!"

Aparently the whole bus was in tears...except the dwarf probably..:(
So maybe not so nice being a "short-arse"

Sigh. Joke robbed from sickipedia. Not the first time I've pointed out somebody doing this either. Nothing gets past me horse!

ShooterSF · 14-04-2009 11:49PM

I've started to enjoy it. You get off with so much more, when my boss used to give out and I got bored I'd level my eye's off at his chest level. Pissed him off no end, shame it weren't a she though. Also I can fly ryanair comfy

I like being short (5'6") but then again not many people will slag me in person about it.

Really ?
Does your horse nudge you with its hoof when you've missed something?

Sucks when you're stuck behind some tall person at a gig

Acacia · 15-04-2009 12:38AM

Do you mean dwarves or just shorter than average? I'm quite short, but it's great, you can get away with anything, cuz people just think you're cute. Especially men. :pac: They always help me to reach stuff on the top shelf and things like that.

If people slag me, I just say "I'm not small, I'm fun-size."

What's it's name, "Jealous"?

MizzLolly · 15-04-2009 12:50AM

I'm 4" 11 and a half!

It's grand, I'm happy the way I am!!

Galvasean · 15-04-2009 12:51AM

Sucks. When I want to purchase filthy magazines in Eason I have to ask for assistance, and there's never a dude around, its always a chick.

"No not that one, the slightly more perverted one to the left..."

damn top-shelf system. :mad:

Apparently short-arses live longer than tall people. Regular people live til about 70 or 80 but dwarves live until they're 500 years old. Midgets only live until they're 400. The worlds most famous dwarf (Yoda) lived until he was over 800 years old. He would have lived longer except he lost interest in the underlying premise of his own existence.
