I Thought Everyone Knew I Was Short...

Thanks to my idiot boyfriend, who is on the safety committee at work (not the higher up end, the end of drones that submit safety issues they see at work to the higher ups for evaluation), once again, I was the main topic of our pre-shift meeting at work the other day. The other times, because I'm the one that gets caught eating while there's an official safety audit. I really need a brunette wig and fake glasses.

So, while he was perusing the work area, he found a bookshelf where the MSDS and such are placed. Then he asks "Hey blas, can you reach this?", and because I had to get on my tippies to be able to grab a book, he called for our boss, who is also short, and she decided that we'd move a desk out of the way so the books are easier to reach.

The next day at pre-shift meeting, the boss announced that a desk was moved so that shorter people can reach the books. Everyone looked at me.

Maybe you should remind your boyfriend that it's dangerous to annoy the short person

I try to tell that fricken giant on a daily basis, "I'm fun sized"

Good/Great things come in small packages!!!!

On a positive note, now you can easily reach the stuff no one ever reads.

Personally, I prefer "Dynamite comes in small packages"

Blas, I feel your pain. I, too, am the short one at work...okay, I'm the short one most places in my life, to be honest. Still. I understand completely! (And the giant in my life is my nephew lol)

[Bright_Star]

Wouldn't that be a passive-aggresive way to bully someone cause they're short?

[Racket_Man]

Just threaten to beat up his kneecaps

Just threaten to beat up his big toe

Fixed that for ya.

I tend to use "Poison comes in small packages" and when my fiance gets on my nerves I remind him that my fist is on the same level as his tender parts....

Some book (Discworld?) had a dwarf basketball team that competed very well.

...what they lacked in altitude they made up for with vertical acceleration...

Oh, and the spiked helmets are religiously protected headgear. After having a few of those blow up their kilts, the stilts stalked very warily.

Lol it happens in my house hold all the time.


My wife is the perfect height so when I extend my arms I can rest them on the top of her head. Sometimes I might also hide her step stools and put her favorite goodies on the top shelf of our cupboard.....

I have a similar advantage with taller guys. I could knee them in the crotch with hardly any effort at all.

I like to remind people that if you mess with the short people, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
