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 problems. 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 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.

You don't have to be short for this to be a problem, especially at this time of year!

I always have to awkwardly wait until an associate walks by ... But sometimes I get lucky and a nice tall person offers to help :) .

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

I don't enjoy concerts for this reason. Last one I went to I was just staring at random backs all night. And nobody can hear you yelling!

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.

Ask someone if there's anyone around. I'm sure they won't mind to help.

I can't reach things on the bottom shelf as my back is so painful I can't bend. It's an imperfect world.

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

Then they're just thick. I was always assumed to be the oldest as I was the tallest. People are dumb.

Sometimes it's just bad DIY. My sister put up a mirror for my mother and I'm taller than them and even on tip-toes I couldn't see in it. They then left it there...
