Random scale seems random.

Dude in front reclines then you recline.

BTW, I'm not sure when you flew last, but it's not a life changing thing if buddy in front reclines.

Biggest issue with flying that needs to get sorted is carry on.

The amount & size of #### people bring on is ridiculous.

Went to Victoria recently. Lynx. Which I generally don't mind. However, they were being super picky about the carryon/personal sizer at the gate. Stopping everyone and making people pay if it was too big. Then they let this chick with a massive backpack on. It looked like she was deploying. Didn't even blink an eye. It would have taken 3-4 overhead bin spaces. Unless it had its own ticket #### that bag and the beeyacht (bitch is not censored?) that was carrying it and the semen deliver system (dick, also not censored? Wow) that did not enforce the same rules for everyone.

endless reclining
crying babies
dogs and cats in the plane ('assist animals' of course)
people taking two seats
mouth breathers
wearing too comfy or not comfy enough clothing
talking on speaker phone
accessing over head storage


the list goes on and on - it would be awesome.... or pure hell, depending on the guy! ha! ha!

Don't forget taking off of shoes.

And really tallies? Everything on earth is better for you as a tall person. Only thing in your existence that's a negative is planes and not being good in gymnastics or horse riding. No way you get a better seat also! #tallprivilege

Being tall is a mfing curse, dude. You're uncomfortable everywhere and nobody gives a crap (I wouldn't either, in fairness). Counters are too short, cars are too small (that is the worst for a car guy as it eliminates about 90% of vehicle choices), you have to buy specialty clothes (or just exist with ill-fitting clothes). 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.

This seems like a good way of doing it. No way the guy behind you can get cranky if he is reclining as well.

Wow how tall are you?

6'4" and I'm super lucky. You know how I said only 10% of cars fit me? That's fortunate. If you're a couple inches or more then no cars fit you and you just have to accept being even more uncomfortable in 100% of cars. Guys taller than me have a true disability as the world totally isn't made for them. I experience a taste of what really tall guys go through, but I can work around most things just fine. My whole thing is wanting to be comfortable, though, and most couches and chairs totally suck as the cushion/seat supports just, like, a fraction of my thigh. I'm obsessed with trying to be comfortable so my brain wiring and my physical shape are totally at odds with each other.

If you want to venmo me some money for my troubles I'll pm you my details.

[Superflyer]

If the person in front of me reclines then I make sure I get up to go to the bathroom multiple times and use their seat to get out of my seat.

It gmg that I can't get venmo to work in Canada. I have a couple of US bank accounts but have never been able to. Do you also have a US phone to make that work? Is there a workaround I'm missing?

I'm only 6'2", which I think is a sweet spot as I can still buy standard clothes that fit, and most vehicles work with the seat all the way back. I feel your pain on crashing your head into a ceiling walking down stairs - that is a whole new kind of pain/shock.

Haha, I don't actually have venmo so no clue. I really wouldn't want somebody sending me money because I'm tall. Was just joking around.

So I should cancel this gofundme I was setting up for you? I still feel like I should send you a helmet, though.

Better than your feet dangling off of chairs couches, that's for sure.

Maybe a body-switching movie is in our future. We should go out for Chinese food and get our fortune cookies mixed up. It's always gotta start with something like that.

my poor jambox bro

[Wormius]

I am going to get some 6” platform shoes and live like Sliver for a week.

[undercoverbrother]

I am 6 ft, which is perfect.

None of the short people troubles and none of the tall people troubles.

Yeah, I figured, but was hoping you'd figured out venmo from Canada for some other reason.

[Fuzz]

I'm going to attach a 6" piece of pool noodle to my hat, and see how many times I'd hit my head in a day.


/we are all Sliver

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Lol @ they assume all tall people are fat too (big & tall)

At least most clothing companies are trending slimmer now. I hate baggy clothes unless it's a hoodie or sweater for lounging. The feature I could do without is the "lip" they've created at the bottom of some shirts now. I heard that it's to accommodate for a protruding belly. Makes no sense on a slim fit item though? Unless they assume that we're skinny-fat or have that rounded belly that comes from liver issues.
