Note to the makers of cheapo wired headphones...

It is one meter from my pants-pockets to my ears. If your wired headphones/buds have a 1-meter cord, I (literally and figuratively) have no slack.

My cheapo Sony headphones have a 5-foot cord, which is plenty. I never accidentally unplug these just walking around.

Yes, I can see the top of your fridge. And yes, it is filthy. #tallpeopleproblems

In Henderson County TX, there exists exactly one pair of slacks with a 38 inch waist and a slim cut. It's over at Bealls and it's the wrong color. #tallpeopleproblems

I really wish Airbnb would let you filter by bed size. #TallPeopleProblems

BTW, I just used the hashtag #TallPeopleProblems, and I'm sure some of you are going, "What problems? You're lucky." But anybody in this world who is far outside the median suffers for it. I can't find clothes that fit, the selection is awful, the colors are drab, and it costs anywhere from 25% to twice or more than common sizes. That's only one of hundreds of everyday problems I encounter. (Airline seats, and cars too small to get into, for starters.)

Look, if you have anything remotely to do with fashion/clothing retailing, as a 6' 6" person, I BEG you to stop putting the sizes for the largest people on the bottom shelf/rod, and the sizes for the smallest people on the top shelf/rod. My aching back thanks you.
Also, I don't presume to speak for those smaller people (please feel free to share your thoughts) but this at least MIGHT be their wish as well.

My wife recently found the website 2tall.com and now my knees are hidden by shorts for the first time in ~15 years.

I used to visit the thrift store for pants that fit my waist but comically short and would make my own shorts. That style worked for a 6'6" punk rocker in the early 2000s but has only looked increasingly desperate as I push 40.

Now I can properly rock cargo shorts with my 2 kids in tow.

Does anyone else that's tall always have back and neck issues? My neck has completely locked today for the millionth time... now I can barely do a thing.

FYIs that maybe one of you will find useful: not all of your tall friends want the aisle. Some of us have shoulders that are super wide; the window is better for us so we can lean out without getting hit by everything in the aisle.

@AnnTelope When I got my Secretlabs chair, I had to dish extra money which made it like $750 for the XL #tallpeopleproblems ha

tfw you're taking a big swig of a drink and have to abort because you're approaching a door frame. #TallPeopleProblems
