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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
