Top 10 Ways to Annoy a Tall Person
Being tall might sound like a dream. Concerts with a built-in periscope, top shelf supremacy, the ability to find your friends in a crowd without even standing on tiptoes. But then there's you. You, with your relentless curiosity about atmospheric conditions above sea level. You, who just has to assign an animal nickname or make a basketball reference like you're the first one to ever think of it. Spoiler alert: you're not.This is the list for anyone who's ever looked up at a tall person and thought, "Challenge accepted." Maybe you're short and salty. Maybe you're average height with chaotic tendencies. Or maybe you're just that friend who thinks you're hilarious, even when no one else does. Whatever the reason, you're here, and you're ready to vote on the best (or worst) ways to pester the long-limbed among us.
I nickname my high school bully Giraffe Girl in my head (I don't actually say it out loud) because she bullied me for being short, but then the teachers punished her. Haha.
I call a dude that at school. He's 6'4".
This really does annoy me. I often get surrounded by sports enthusiasts who assume that I'm a sports god because I'm 6'4". I can tolerate people asking me to reach for things, but this I just can't.
I'll probably end up tall, and yes, everything on this list will annoy me.
I am tall, and my mom wants me to play basketball.
This happens all the time. "Hey, girl, can you reach for that?" I do it out of friendliness, but after a while, it drives me insane.
Hey, can you reach my iPad Pro for me?
I am taller than my mom and aunts, and sometimes I have to get stuff from tall shelves for them.
I do this all the time, and they give me a look that makes me thank God that looks can't kill! Laugh out loud.
This is funny to me. You sit up there making a list that bullies short people, but when it is the other way around, it's bad.
I'm pretty tall, and this one is the only thing on this list that would actually annoy me.
I ask you, do you find anything comical about this? Shame on you.
Random stranger: "Wow, buddy, you're tall!"
Positron: "What, really? Thank you, I had no idea! That would explain the ceiling being too close for comfort."
It was fine at first, but now it just annoys me!
The Newcomers
My friend told me that a lot of tall men I know have very small wieners for their heights and all got brutally dumped by their girlfriends and fiancées. Some got divorced! Laugh out loud!
I do this all the time to my fat older brother who's 6'3", and he always drives me into a door which ends up broken.
I do this to my big brother. I sometimes go ahead and jump on his back!
Yes, I would love to watch you crawl through spaces I can't fit.
I told a girl this once. She picked me up and said, Don't mess with me. I know you're trying to do this because I will look really tall.
