Over-6'2"-white-guy bump.

By the way, I'm also left handed. Do I get extra reperations?

I totally agree, we deserve reparations.

I am tired of people "asking me how the weather is up there".

Sheer survival in a world built for 5'10" people when you are 6'7" is deserving of reparations.

I say reparations NOW.

What about reparations for all us people with no obvious distinguishing characteristics? We get overlooked all the time!

While it only occurs some years apart, the ol' slame-the-head-into the ceiling beam while going up the basement stairs was always worse than the under-hung door closer for me. Something about the full leg propulsion while thrusting oneself upstairs gave it a crippling level of impact.

"Think about it! All cars are made for runts like you. You short people (anyone under 6'2") can buy clothes off the rack in a store! That's obscene! I'm sick of it!"

No, not for REAL runts, those of us under 5'4". We who have our airbages disabled lest they break our noses or ribs or something when they deploy because we're so close to the steering wheel. Then clothes buyers don't seem to believe that short women should have hips or be a bit more endowed. And misses sizes always have better looking stuff.

You know what, I want reparations, too.

Short women unite!

Get in line. I want reparations for descendents of early settlers from England (1607, Jamestown). I live in the City of Festivals (Milwaukee) and they don't even have a festival for us! I feel so left out...

There are a few benefits to being tall - you can see where you're going in a crowd. Your friends can find you in that crowd. If someone passes gas in that crowd, well... And heck, I gotten so used to my feet sticking out past the end of the mattress that if I am in a hotel and the bed is really long, I'll scoot down so my feet stick over the edge...

Seriously, I'm owed something for the anxiety I feel when riding on the Matterhorn bobsleds!

I get so worried that I'm going to bump my head going nine-o through those little tunnels.

Ceiling fans...I hate low hanging ceiling fans.
Being 6'7", I've grown to love low basements, pipes, and beams as well.

Looks like I'm close to the front of the reparations line since I'm a 6'5" Left-hander. 6'6" if I've bumped my head recently (which is most of the time).
