So recently, I had an ex-friend trying to make fun of me in any way he can, much like when a guy breaks up with a girl and hurls insults at her because he can't have her. I once again find myself at the end of someone's pointless "short" jokes. Granted, I am "height-challenged" (5'7" last time I checked), but it has never bothered me in my life. I still wonder why people think it's funny to make height jokes when it's something someone can't change, and actually ends up to be an advantage to me. Here's why:
1. I fit better in airline seats - I always have enough leg room, and I don't understand why people complain about not sitting in first-class. Southwest is my friend - you and your tall friends can go sit in the Emergency Rows.
2. I've never been pressured to play team sports. I have tall friends, and they all suck at basketball. I'd rather be short and not be EXPECTED to be good at team sports than tall and unmotivated or a failure.
3. I always find clothes that fit. When I go shopping with my tall friends, they can never find jeans in their size. Mine are always available for some reason.
4. I can fit in a sports-car. Someday when I buy my Ferrari, I'll fit in it.
5. My girlfriend is taller than me (by 3 inches). My height isn't such a problem to her, so why is it to you? Maybe you're a bit "short" somewhere else?
Anyways, to the point: if you're going to make fun of someone, at LEAST find something that actually bothers them before you waste your breath. I'd rather here a good "your mom" joke that will at least give me a good laugh.
