When you were small, everyone loves to pat and looks down and call you a cute kid. But all that stopped when you hit that growth spurt - and now, you're getting more weird looks and if you don't work out, you know most will call you a nerd.
The struggle of tall people is real. Netflix is even releasing a rom-com movie revolving the love life of a tall girl which is typically less exciting than the average height.
And really, you didn't mean to peak on others in the fitting room, but if your head just happens to protrude ABOVE the dividers. What can you do?
Well, at least none of them are 8 ft 11.1 in tall, which is the highest recorded height of a man. That was Robert Wadlow's height recorded in 1940. As for woman, the record-holder is Jane 'Ginny' Bunford who stood at 7 ft and 4 inches high. Her skeleton is preserved in the Anatomical Museum in the Medical School at Birmingham University.
Brighthumanity has compiled some of the funniest things tall people have to deal with in life.
