Maybe we could all shave our heads to get the bald experience, too. Let's go completely overboard if we're doing this.

Probably need to hang one on your dong as well. See? Just another benefit.

And if you show even just the slightest bit of self confidence or assertiveness you don't have someone saying "Ohhhh, looks like someone has Napolean syndrome".

My grandparents would give my cousins money when they saw them for X amount of inches they grew. Then they'd come to me and it was awkward. I used to bite my nails, I got money to NOT bite my nails, they got money for growing. I forgot about that, should probably mention it to the therapist.

I got that going for me too.

hahaha OMG that's equal parts hilarious and awful.

I've got a full head of hair.

I keep it super trim, #2 on top, #1 on back/sides.

I have to cut my hair once a month or it is a mop of thick golden blonde.

Not sure you should be bragging about a whole bunch of nasty dead cells clinging to the top of your head absorbing your head oils and grease. Eww.

That why I keep it high and tight!

All the benefits of the baldies without all the stigma of the baldies.

People wax poetic about how flying used to be more comfortable, but that's because it used to be way more expensive. You can still have the comfortable experience, but it is still really expensive. Flying is only affordable because they cram us in there like crazy.

We've compromised (which does allow us to take more trips is guess). Ever take a flight to Japan? The Japanese will pay more and not accept uncomfortable nonsense. If you fly Air Canada from Calgary to Tokyo, you will notice a difference then when flying Air Canada to anywhere else. Japan Airlines has been known to have the best economy class.

That said, I'm not really a traveler, I'm a coach potato.

Your joke fell short.

Take the money.

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.

You can use a company called Verto here in Canada and it's very similar.

I specifically need to send money to the US, looks like Verto is for Canada? I did manage to get zelle but my limit is very low, so often I end up splitting payments over multiple days which is a pain.

What about Paypal?

We just used it this weekend, a bunch of buddies sent me money for 7's tickets.

Yeah, PayPal is pretty good. Some of the people I deal with can't/won't use it though.

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

Yep anywhere from 5'10" to around 6'1"-- I'm at 5'11" and never have any complaints either way.

Here we have an exceptionally rare siting - the man who is 5'11" that doesn't call himself 6'

I'm short, I just get you guys to reach for stuff

Haha, I hope that was pun intended.

Funny how both short and tall people lament their circumstances and not all but in many cases envy the opposite's situation.

Same with women with naturally straight vs curly hair, etc.

People always just want what they don't have.

A defect we have is overvaluing things that we don't possess, while failing to account for the reality that there are positives and negatives to any situation. But we skew negative on what is ours and positively on what is another's.

But just like material things, if we got whatever we were after, we would get bored by it eventually and come to nitpick negatives about it all the same.

People are weird.

[Sainters7]

I'm exactly Gaudreau sized (met him before), every flight is first class leg room for me.

I’m sitting in 5 Ave place right now trying to enjoy a late lunch.

People on either side of me have their phons on the table and audio blasting in both my ears.

I feel like cranking some traditional NFLD music for a few minutes to retaliate.

I’ll probably just go back to work though.

If you did that I'd run over and help make a kitchen party out of it!
