Life is tough. It is even more tough if you are any less than 5’3. Here are a few, infuriating everyday short girl’s problems!
1. Being pet at! Just because you have complete view of by head, doesn’t mean you can rest your arms on it.
2. You are made the butt of all the jokes!
Me – my head hurts.
Taller Friend – Did you ran in the door knob again?
Not funny!

3. The seat belt struggle. Even before an accident, I’d be killed by this grinding seat belt on my neck first.
4. Even the ceiling is beyond the limits . When the poles are occupied and you are too short to reach the ceiling handles.
5. Being mistaken for age.
Random aunty- “Aur beta kaunsi class me aagyi?”
Me- “Aunty mera third year complete hone wala hai?”
Random aunty (with an evil grin)- “Hehehe, badi cute height hai”

6. Dealing with the trouble by your taller counterparts like this.
7. This in a crowded metro.*Out of breath* *Stands on my toes for Oxygen*
8. Leggy lass? What’s that?We already have limited options of Tops to choose from. Courtesy- Don’t make my already short legs look even more shorter!
9. Stage fright! Of a different kind. It is useless to attend concerts, fests or anything which involves crowd+ stage. I don’t even need to tell you why!
10. This.Period.
11. People remember you as ‘the short one’. Like hello? I have a name!
12. Awkwardly waiting for tall people to help us out reach high counters, in supermarkets!
13. Having to deal with mean questions- ‘Mummy ne doodh me bourvita nahi milaya tha?’

14. When tall people ask you to pick things, ’cause you are closer to the ground
15. Everywhere you go, anywhere you look, all you can see are, people taller than you. *Insecurity*
16. *Gets the best heels* ‘This is my day!’ *Tall friends wears heels too* *Still the shortest* Why you do this human giraffes?

17. Reaching mirror at a public rest room. You just can’t!
I may be a ‘chottu’ but, guess who gets the best forehead kisses?
