Oh yeah. I'm 5'2" and can identify with sooo many of these. From one short girl to another, thanks HC!

#5 is me!! I can NEVER see over the person in front of me!!

And they didn't list this - the seat belt never fits right - it cuts me at the neck. I swear, if I ever get hit from behind, my head is going to get cut off!!!

Thanks for the laugh!! My seat belt is adjustable at the neck so it doesn't cut me.

Mine is adjustable and it's still too high. I bought the following item from Amazon. It works great, says it's safe.. no guarantee about that, but I'll likely get killed when my own airbag deploys, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Seat Belt Clip

I can relate to the one about not being able to reach things on the shelves at the grocery store. I sometimes resort to asking a taller person if he/she could get something for me (although I have been known to stand on a bottom shelf it if looks sturdy).

How funny! I am almost 5'3" and can relate to those pictures- worse ones to get mad when I say, "Excuse me I can't see are MEN." and neither do they offer to let me see, hahahaha

I'm always searching for a tall person at a store to get something for me off the high shelf. Now that I'm older have given up climbing the shelves and standing on countertops.

So funny. I am only 5' 1/2" tall, but my DH is 6' so he gets things from high shelves as I am not safe on a chair at home. I relate to the seatbelt issues too. I have a port on my left side, so I need to stay away from that while I am driving. When I am a passenger, it is even worse as it feels like my neck is being cut off. I do sometimes stand on a bottom shelf at the grocery store though.

I'm 5ft can relate to this post especially the seat belt ugh always cuts me right at my neck. I keep checking to see if I can lower it more but it doesn't move anymore. Thanks fir the laugh!

Really cute! I'm 5' and 1/2" (used to be 5"1', lost half-an-inch as I grew older) and I can really relate. I forwarded this to a friend of mine who is my height. Thank you, House Cat, for starting my morning off with a nice laugh!

Why do they put on sale groceries on the top shelf. I have to hunt down people to reach for me. Anything over 26 inches in clothes I won't buy.

For the life of me I can't visualize how that seatbelt clip would work. I recently had a loaner (a Cadillac, no less!) for a car repair and the seatbelt was attached to the top of the seat instead of just the side of the car. It worked perfectly, but we can't afford Cadillacs.

Yes! Just this past Sunday I was in the grocery store and had climbed on a pipe at the base of the freezer section and still couldn't get to the box of pumpkin mezzaluna I wanted. I had grabbed another box to try and knock one forward when a tall man noticed and offered to help me. He even tried to get me a better box when he noticed the one he grabbed was a little worn on a corner. I will think kindly of him when I cook my yummy pasta.

I'm almost 5'4"" and even I can relate to a lot of these! My legs are the short part so I have to hem everything. Hubby is 6'3"" but he's not always around.

And I don't dare climb the grocery shelves. I see images of that scene from The Mummy where she knocked down ALL the bookshelves.

This is another version of the clip. It keeps the belt off your neck.

I'm 5' even thanks for the laugh. For the grocery store I pick up my 8 year old son, he's light ~40lbs, from his waist and lift him up high and have him grab it. I don't know what I'm going to do when he's bigger.

employees at the hospital and I chose to believe that

I'm 5ft 3 and being short should not be an issue or a negative , I never even knew I was short until I was 24 years old and some A--hole pointed it out to me.
