Tall girl problems!! Life as a 6ft 1 girl

I dunno why this topic came up today. No actually I do and it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm tired of random people walking up to me to ask if I play basketball and then go on to lecture me on how I should try it out. Happened this evening again and it inspired me to do a post on some of the problems(10 to be precise)I face being an amazon woman. Hehe

1. Taller than every guy. 

Me when i meet a hot guy thats shorter than me 

And I put this one at the top of my list because its the most annoying!E.g when a friend says she wants to introduce you to someone
Normal height girl: Is he cute/rich ? Me: is he tall? :|  I mean I want someone who can lift me up *did I hear someone say goodluck with that?* and who I don't have to worry about being taller than when I wear heels . 

2.  Speaking of Heels!: 

 

The other day some dude was telling me zee you shouldn't wear heels that even tiny ones are not allowed, i should do strict flat.I was all ready to tell him to mind his own business and I will wear sky scrapers on my feet and its nobodys business. If he feels insecure he should get on a ladder.

3. Not finding shoes in my size :
  

4.The curse of the big feet. All the cute shoes are in smaller size. its always so difficult to get cute shoes my size. Whyyyyyy????

5. Having to always reduce my steps when walking with people with shorter legs. No, I'm not walking too fast, I just have longer strides and a faster pace.

6: Obstructing People: 

Nothing pisses me off more than wen my classmates say "zee go to the back, let the short ones come forward. Oh?? Who said you should be short? I'm sorry I can't cut myself, Change your seat. No I'm not mean all the time but the way they say it like the front is their birth right for being short. Swerve please

7. Sitting all scrunched up in a car because my legs are too long for the tiny space. :( 

8. Taller than the mirror ; Always having to bend to see my outfit in full.

9.Always noticeable! ; This can be a good thing but not always. Sometimes i just want to walk in unnoticed e.g I can never sneak into class or ward rounds late! They allwwaayysyssss notice me!Always! and because of that I'm an easy target
*sigh*

10. Is your best food beans?  Arggh. I'm real tired of this one. I actually have this new found love for beans but guys chillllll! Beans didn't make me tall .I happen to have tall parents

That said, I just want to put this out that I honestly love my height. I love the attention I get when I walk into a room, I love my long legs, and i especially love being a model thanks to my height and figure

Fellow tall girls, anything you want to get off your chest. please feel free to use the comment box :D you are 5'8- 9. Please you are not allowed to seat at the tall girls table. We talking 6ft and above here you know? 
Jokes! My comment box is for everyone , i love all yall equally ;)

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be and only as small as you make yourself seem."
