As a short older woman I appreciate help with high items. If there's nobody offering, I look for someone other than the tallest guy around, who gets asked all the time. The teen on her platforms or the guy who's not quite 6 feet is just as capable of reaching what I (5'1") can't, and might get a little lift out of being asked and thanked.

As a short younger woman, I like the excuse to climb on shelves a bit (even though it's really just me standing on the bottom shelf for maybe 3 extra inches if I am certain it's sturdy enough). When I age and this maneuver carries more risk, maybe I'll shift to making others feel useful :P

The real short person playground maneuvers happen at home in my kitchen. Top-shelf item on the cabinet? Maneuver myself into sitting on the counter, and stretch to reach.

You've got me sighing with nostalgia.

As a woman who's not quite 6', it really is no trouble. My wife is regular sized so I'm very used to getting stuff down from high spaces.

A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:
