15 Signs You’re Definitely Under Five Feet Tall
Life as a short person has it’s downfalls and it’s perks. Sometimes it’s hilarious and convenient, and sometimes it’s just a hassle. If you can relate to these 15 things, there’s a good chance that you’re under five feet tall.
1. You can save money by ordering off the kids’ menu.
Although, if we’re being honest, you don’t even have to ask for a kids’ menu – restaurants just assume you’re under 12 and give you one.
2. You can also save money by shopping in the kids’ section at clothing stores.
When you can actually find something age-appropriate, it’s wonderful. These overalls? $15 from the kids’ section of Target.

3. When flying alone, people gasp and ask you things like “are you flying by yourself?!”
Why yes, I am. I’m on my way home from college, thank you.
4. Once you’re on the plane, it doesn’t get any better.
Flight attendant: *walks up to woman sitting next to me* “Now in the event of an emergency, make sure to secure your mask before hers.”
5. While in the elevator in your dorm, you’ve been asked if you’re visiting an older sibling for the weekend.
This has happened on more than one occasion.

*gasp* “YOU’RE SO LIIIITTTLEEE!”

No, you can’t.

In the rare event that you can find a pair of leggings that come in a “short” length, it’s a steal.
13. You can never reach anything on the top shelves while shopping.
