short people are so annoying

Whining about not being able to get things on high shelves, banging on all the time about trousers not fitting.

Why don't they all just make an effort to grow a bit and stop just complaining about it to their friends?

LOL - It's not like I've written anything deliberately offensive (that I've meant anyway).

I think most people I come across regard me as a bit dim but mostly harmless

EV...i'd never out you because i haven't got a clue who you are..

maggievirgo · 01/08/2009 22:55

I'm short, but tall people always tell me to my face that i'm lucky, i can date 'all men' apparently. ha ha! still waiting for one! lol. don't know what thy say when I'm not there to hear it.

My brothers aren't tall, but they don't have short man syndrom, I get more annoyed on their behalf reading about alleged 'short man syndrom' as they are so laid-back and well-balanced. I think if you are good-looking and charming, then you can pull off being small! it does need to be 'pulled off' because I'd be the first to admit (from my position down here at five foot 1 and a half) that it IS a bit of a disabiility......... that needs to be overcome. Apparently I will be paid less than average but have more children than average.... low-earning, high-breeding five foot nothing annoying person, ca c'est moi!

Anway, annoying people are so annoying, aibu to say that?

maggievirgo · 01/08/2009 22:56

God, syndrome with an e on the end of it I mean. So embarrassing. AM having a wee drrrrink, watching house and mning and it's more than I can handle!! what with being short and annoyng and everything!

ilovemydogandmrobama · 01/08/2009 22:57

That's right Dittany -- '... short people got no reason to live...'

But, he also wrote, 'I love LA...' which means it all has to be taken in context

maggievirgo, well i am only 2.5 inches taller than you, and i wouldn't regard you as short. Plus if you are a virgo then you are excused anyway as that is hte best starsign IMO

mrsmattie, so true and so funny your theory, my old flatmate (5'11") took a frost with me ten years ago for dating tall men, as I was stealing from her pool of potentials apparently. If ONLY I'd bowed out graciously and let her have the 6.1" wanker!! I WISH!

maggievirgo · 01/08/2009 23:01

Actually,my daughter Margot is a virgo. I'm a gemini. tall one minute, short the next1!!

daftpunk · 01/08/2009 23:02

bakerslovecakes · 01/08/2009 23:06

maggievirgo · 01/08/2009 23:08

I don't get it, EV is only five four. HOney, I hate to break it to you, you're in my gang, come and sit with the losers!! lol.

LOL you do that then

I shall have to think of more people who are annoying...

Twins. They're annoying innit?
Being born on the same day - think they've got the monopoly on it. And why do the identical ones look sooo alike? They really should do something about that. Can't they tell it confuses normal people?
