I wish I was a little bit taller

Went to a v busy gig last night. Little old me could hardly see anything because of all the tall people in front of me.

Every time I shifted myself to where I had a view of the stage, a taller person shifted in front of me.

I ended up moving back as it meant I wasn't looking at backs.

Can there be a rule where we arrange ourselves into height order for gigs?

...I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

As a person measuring a "massive" 155cm, I concur!

TroysMammy · 03/08/2025 14:23

I always say a prayer and cross my fingers when taking my seat at the theatre, hoping no one is going to block my view. I'm 151cm short.

That's where my mind went immediately!

I've been known to use the child booster seats theatres provide in these scenarios

I'm very short.
The last gig I went to (which was a couple of years back) people were kind and let me get in front of them. I ended up right at the front.

I would love to donate a few inches. I’m 5”10.5 - 5”8 would be fine

Globules · 03/08/2025 18:17

I'll take them @StJulian2023 😁

That's the first thing that came to my mind. Heard it on the radio yesterday 😆

Same. I just went to Oasis. 157cm. Could get glimpses of them in between bucket hats!

Was still fab, though!

WarwickDavis · 03/08/2025 18:37

I have a pogo stick for such occasions - that way I get to see half, well, at least a third of any show I go to.

Mumof1andacat · 03/08/2025 18:45

I'm 5ft. I have always wanted to be 5ft 4.

Globules · 03/08/2025 18:50

Did you specifically name change to respond @WarwickDavis ? 🤣🤣🤣
