Tall People Around The World Reveal Their Everyday Struggles
Being tall might sound like fun for folks with NBA dreams or even people who don't want to use a stool to reach the top of the pantry. For those who already have their heads in the clouds, they might say that the extra height isn't worth it.
If you don't believe us, then feel free to look through these images of taller people struggling with life. We don't think anyone likes crouching for a whole interview...
This Guy Can't Shower Properly
![tall guy shower shower with tall guy](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-6-58f9ba001b48c__605-18222.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=117&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Well, this is unfortunate. The look on this man's face says everything we need to know. Either he needs to move or he should call someone to come and renovate his shower.
You'll Never Share Clothes
![twin robes tall and short tall husband and short wife wearing same length robe](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T094225.577-29617-1-76079.jpg?width=800&height=700)
It can be so cute to borrow a comfy sweater from your spouse but there's no way this woman could ever do that. Even this "one size fits all" robe is way out of their leagues.
She Looks Happy...
![tall person short girl](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/70436742_137985587551477_711559532763593000_n-50888.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.740740740741)
She looks happy, but what about him? Is he even smiling, or does he have to at all? He probably loves taking selfies with his partner because he doesn't have to force a smile.
Kiki...This Screams Fragile Masculinity
![standing on bucket baseball player being interviewed and having to stand on bucket](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T093901.981-33827-16745.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Second baseman for the LA Dodgers Kike Hernández posted this photo with the caption, "I'd say #ShortPeopleProbs but it's more like @kellimtennant" problems!" If it was you who felt the need to have someone grab you a bucket to stand on, it's not her problem.
CEO Of Making It Work
![power move Smart man](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-41-58fa0f594eeba__605-62750.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=102&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
This guy doesn't let life get in his way. We're guessing he always catches his spoon before it hits the ground whenever it accidentally falls. He's not the one to get deterred by things he can't control.
For The Money
![atm on her knees at atm](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-2-58f9b7a6cee68__605-26143.jpg?width=800&height=698)
The situation this woman is in is pretty ironic. As the man waits behind her, she's on her knees in need of some cash. Everyone needs money, can you blame her?
Head To Chest Or Head To Shoulders?
![Tall hug the difference is crazy](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-139-5d00b149a3118__605-27267.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
This guy has a tough decision every time he gives someone a hug. Should he go for the shoulders or let them come to his chest? Let's just say it depends on whoever comes around.
Does He Have To Buy Every Seat Like This?
![Take a Seat too long](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/5d00bf61ef5b9_x8458bkvcg911__605-34872.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=102&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
We're wondering if this guy has to check if the seat in front of him is available every time. If he has to do that for every baseball game, he should probably save his money.
Welcome To A World Of Being A Burden
![concertgoer sorry shirt tall person at concert wearing shirt that says](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T100227.978-88583-1-76441.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=167&left=0&zoom=1)
Instead of pissing everybody off at a concert by standing in the front, this tall guy pissed everybody off by standing at the front and then apologized for it. We're not sure if he really means it, but either way, we want this shirt for our own lives.
Too Tall For The Picture
![too tall had to fix dance picture](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/58f9ed2b03ee5_9fm7Kr__605-64442.jpg?width=605&height=807&top=0&left=0&zoom=1)
A woman was too tall for her childhood recital photo. That's when her co-workers decided to fix it for her with this beautiful drawing of the top of her head.
Air Travel Isn't The Same
![riding a plane plane issues](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/90094203_524141331799939_7220878254542737480_n-37624.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=50&left=0&zoom=0.740740740741)
The man in the middle is 6'9". No, he doesn't like tilting his head when he needs to fly to a new destination, but what can he do? Well, he can take pictures with everyone fascinated by his height.
World's Tallest Teenager With Boyfriend
![shorter man tallest lady](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/d3f15f2c18b1a268795b2deb2a460f76-10860.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=33&left=0&zoom=1.14285714286)
She's the tallest teenager in the world. He had a crush on her. After figuring out that only Yao Ming would be her equal when it comes to height, she had no choice but to settle.
Now, How To Selfie?
![selfie a really tall selfie](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/91334086_235033984347444_7644175363679564748_n-21512.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=64&left=0&zoom=0.740740740741)
There are many issues that come with being way taller than everyone else. One of the biggest issues for this generation would have to be taking group selfies. How are you going to find the perfect angles?
Next Level Yoga
![intense yoga Yoga stance](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/68979885_394072714577450_6000486179299427373_n-58751.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This guy must really love yoga. A four-year-old toddler can walk under that bridge he made with his body. His belly gets more tan than the rest of his body the longer he holds this position.
Restroom Issues
![bathroom sitting](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/71312360_256308161999178_1705520708024575127_n-61055.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Wow, this woman must be incredibly tall. If her knees are that close to the door of the stall in the public restroom, she probably tries her best to hold it until she gets back home.
Interview Skill On 1000
![squatting interview](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-42-58fa1094350ca__605-83823.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=125&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Obviously, this isn't this guy's first rodeo. Having to be in an interview with a camera that's too short doesn't seem like fun, but this man isn't phased at all.
Weird Mom Habit
![taller woman with mom](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/wj4b1vs00xn01-13526.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=419&left=0&zoom=0.711111111111)
The shorter woman is a loving mother. We have no clue who the taller one is, but the mom likes sending her kids pictures of her standing next to tall people.
Weird Mom Habit Part Two
![another tall person with the mom](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ptpz42ikvo241-97965.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=159&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
This time, it looks like mom found a nice tall man at some venue. He looks so excited to take this photo with her. Did they exchange numbers after the picture?
A Fun Activity Becomes Boring
![riding like a pro legs too long](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/89826035_500322377518487_6385612330427604726_n-60713.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Usually, off-road riding is something to look forward to. Unless you're too tall to sit properly on the vehicles, then you're in trouble. If this guy prefers to get around positioned like that, then being tall isn't his only issue.
He's Got An Amazing View
![tall guy working out working out](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-19-58f9c8adbf1e2__605-54850.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Either this guy wants to make it to the NBA or he only enjoys watching the sport. To have an elliptical in his room, we think it's the former. Taking out a piece of the roof because you're too tall to achieve your physical goals regularly is an early sign of professional dedication.
Be Careful Next To Him
![restroom guy guy using the restroom](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/BRq5Og0g_FX-png__605-24514.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Going to the restroom in public around this guy is probably so fun! Okay, but seriously, he can easily see everything going on in there with a turn of his head.
The Tall Card
![giving out cards tall card](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/16906619_268543266912216_5251941852713582592_n-78403.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=218&left=0&zoom=1.25)
As long as you know that this man doesn't play basketball, then giving out this card is worth it. Standing at nearly seven feet tall, "Yes I Am Tall" is a perfect introduction.
One More Inch And He's Finished
![shopping tall too tall to shop](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-211-5d03aab12fd40__605-33444.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=117&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
While traveling through Europe, a couple found out that the husband's height is an issue. Shopping at the market meant one false move and his head would damage the roof with ease.
So Was He Sleep Or Not?
![how does he sleep tall conversation](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-212-5d089465ce880__605-89429.jpg?width=605&height=747&top=0&left=0&zoom=1)
While anyone would get annoyed after receiving a message at four in the morning, we're not so sure the recipient of this message was asleep. Do you think he was awake?
Cooking Isn't Fun
![guy too tall to cut cutting food](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/89821013_249001859438865_7459433791818617437_n-35101.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Okay, when this happens, it's time to hire someone or find a loving wife. He's for sure going to have back issues the older he gets and the more he does this.
Do A Split For The View
![splits for the view splits](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/58fa0f80eb1aa_0LVQMAH__605-20169.jpg?b=45&c=5&width=800&height=533&top=34&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Not only does this guy have to pay to use these special binoculars, but he also has to do the splits to use them properly. Maybe, this isn't an activity for him.
How Romantic!
![kissing on wall too tall to kiss](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-207-5d02467f9c34e__605-86228.jpg?width=800&height=1067)
We're not speaking for all of them, but many women love a tall man. We're not sure if they like them so tall that he has to half-way propose every time he wants a kiss.
Shorter Guys Still Need Love
![tall kiss kissing tall woman](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-203-5cff90972162f__605-55120.jpg?width=605&height=880&top=0&left=0&zoom=1)
We don't know who's the braver of the two. The woman who decided to date a shorter guy, or the man who didn't think he'd look ridiculous having to use support just to get a kiss from his lady.
At Least He's Not Blind
![Over 6'8 tall guy](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/58f9d2748aab0_oOy57G5r__605-58896.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=236&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Being too tall to navigate the world regularly is one thing. Add in being blind and you might knock your head off. Thankfully, this guy can see the warning signs before they hit.
Too Tall For Japan
![lady in japan too tall](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/91216690_600155233871483_3531952010691010720_n-20486.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=15&left=0&zoom=0.740740740741)
The woman you see here lives in Japan, where obviously, things aren't for taller people. The refrigerator barely passes her kneecaps for crying out loud. She must like it this way.
Hopefully, This Guy Stays Healthy
![guy to tall to get sick legs hanging off](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-114-58ff5bfc8a90a__605-89438.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Do hospitals not have beds long enough for tall people? What special services do professional athletes get? They always look so comfortable when they post post-operation photos. Sadly, this man has to let his feet hang off the edge.
This Guy Is Massive
![Strong guy with no room no room for him](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Bx7vAnAl3XL-png__605-96758.jpg?width=800&height=800)
Being ripped is one thing, but having muscles on top of muscles and being tall is a whole new ball game. This guy is "The Dutch Giant" and we see exactly why.
Just Hold On, We're Going Home...
![looking out the window no room too see](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/tall-people-problems-44-58fa17b8152e9__605-59499.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=50&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
It sure does look like this guy is happy that he's going home. After a nice trip, gazing out into the sky would certainly make the flight back better. Too bad he has to fold to do that.
How Much Food Do You Think He Ordered?
![tall mcdonalds man tall man at mcdonalds checkout counter](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T104814.773-23491-93022.jpg?width=800&height=700)
If this massive man ordered a chicken snack wrap I will literally stop believing in humanity. If you're this tall you have to be supersizing everything or else we all will be very confused.
The Struggles Of Picking A Banner With Your Tall Boyfriend
![cant pick banner boyfriend and girlfriend with significant height difference](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T092622.572-34111-1-79193.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.888888888889)
The plus side of having a boyfriend is that you get to take cute photos with him for your Facebook banner. But a serious downside is if he's so much taller than you that both of you can't fit in it. It looks like she's got to brush up on her photoshop skills pronto.
The Best Buddy-Cop Film Duo
![tall and short cop tall and short police officers standing back to back](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T094105.145-12601-1-50622.jpg?width=800&height=700)
We'd definitely pay money to see these two in action, fighting crime on the streets. They seem like an unlikely duo but in reality, they make up for each other's short(or tall)comings.
If You Fail, You Can Just Step On Them
![cop sobriety test cop standing on car hood to give tall person a sobriety test](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T101116.443-41459-1-75131.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Even tall people need to do field sobriety tests, and we never realized it before but it's the hilarious content we want to see. Especially if it's conducted by an officer half their height. Now, sir, walk in a straight line and try not to crush me when you stumble.
He Stepped Up As A Husband... No, He Literally Stepped Up
![stepped up husband husband on stepstool to have first kiss with bride](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T095047.557-93749-1-20769.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This is the kind of early-on commitment we like to see in a marriage. This guy was dedicated to his wife and not letting her completely mess up her back so he brought his own stepstool to the wedding. Now that's a good omen.
We're All Just Trying To Not Be Cropped Out
![dramatic lean boyfriend boyfriend leaning in order to get in frame of photo with girlfriend](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T095205.516-33769-10868.jpg?width=800&height=700)
A huge struggle of dating someone way taller than you isn't only finding a way to fit them into your banner on Facebook, but also finding a way to take Instagram photos together. That square format calls for a dramatic lean that even MJ would be jealous of.
Who Knew You Needed A Degree And A Desk To Stand On To Be A Doctor?
![standing on desk short doctor standing on desk to take height of tall patient](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-2019-09-30T095714.653-31252-40464.jpg?width=800&height=700)
Imagine going through years of medical school to get a degree to find out you also need a desk to stand on so you can measure your tallest patient. That's a reality for this doctor, but luckily she can definitely afford it.
