You know Mr. Big & Tall. Yeah, it's Big AND Tall; not Big And/OR Tall. So as clothes get bigger for taller people, they also assume you're fat, too. It's nucking futs. Thankfully there are specialty stores online now that cater to just "tall" at least, but you pay a premium. Shoes? I can't try them on in store as nobody has size 15. I found one brand that fits so I guess I wear DC shoes now all the time because they fit. Yay. I do have a nice pair of Solovairs, but I had to order them from fricken England.

Looking for a campervan...Ram chasis don't fit me as the seat would have to go back another, like, seven inches to fit me and that just isn't happening. Ford or Mercedes chasis vans fit, though, which is cool if I want to spend double on something that's already over $100k. It's BS.

Concerts like Cirque de Soleil? Not happening. I had to leave once because I physically could not fit without my knees being on either sides of the guy's head in front of me. It's preposterous. My 5'3" wife barely fit, but for me it was completely impossible.

Do you go around getting cobwebs in your face? I highly doubt it because any number of people would have wiped them out prior to your arrival. Me? I'm always taking cobwebs to the face. It's a problem most people wouldn't even know existed.

Ever bonked your head just walking down stairs? It's crazy how low a ceiling can get on staircases.

Last but not least - tall people don't live as long as shorter people. I read it's because we have more cells in our bodies so greater risk of cancers. That's pretty cool.

Only good part is chicks want to hang off your knob everywhere you go, but I'm married so that doesn't do me any good.
Wow how tall are you?
