Short people have it so much harder than tall people think. Besides the fact that everything on the top shelf is unreachable even if they use a stool, there’s also the problem of not being able to see anything in concerts, never finding pants that fit without needing a trim, and many other frustrating everyday problems they have to deal with.

Bored Panda collected some of the funniest posts of short people’s problems. If you find these relatable, you’ll also enjoy our short people jokes for a good laugh.

If you’re one of the down-to-earth (pun intended) people yourself, we’re sure you’ll find this common problem post relatable. Just remember there are also many pros to being short, such as shopping at kids' sections and saving lots of money, always looking younger than you are (staying forever young), and having lots of leg room in any car or plane.

And if you’re tall, don't be an arse and help your shorter friends in need! Now, scroll down below for a complete list of short people memes and struggles.

    No average person can even reach up there. Ask a worker or search for a hook to grab stuff with. This is dumb.

    I did this when I was like 4-5. I was looking at a toy, then fell. I somehow fell face first and had to get stitches above my right eye. Don't do this... not fun, not worth it. For pringles, yes; anything else, no

    Jeans thing in the same for tall people. Most of the time we can only get "Unfinished" jeans. which basically means you're dealing with 80in long pant legs.

    I feel like the worst thing about being short 4'9) is that the only compliment you ever get is "wow your so cute and childlike" and I don't think being called childlike is even a compliment
