The beauties of being 6'3

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago (3 children)

6'2" here, the lack of heel pain is made up for by the fucking kitchen cabinet doors.

Also not fitting in cars, and aeroplanes, and rollercoasters

And having to buy shoes and trousers from specialists, and having your feet hang off the end of the bed in hotels, and wandering into spiderwebs that no-one else has disturbed yet, and not being able to adjust the shower high enough away from home. Gift that keeps on giving.

I'm tall and my SO is short, finding an appropriate shower height at home is impossible.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Same situation - adding a quality hose showerhead + two different clips on the wall so we can swap it between two heights was an indulgent upgrade when we moved in, and it was worth every cent.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

you could get one of those handheld shower nozzles and then put a second mount lower or higher as needed.

Old thread, sorry, but don't you have adjustable shower heads?

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

my kneeeees ><

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

6'4" here, why is every counter so damn low?

[–] BigBrownBeaver@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

9'6" here. Let me grab your tiny heads like a strawberry

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Samesies. Built my own kitchen on stilts. Perfect height for me and a bane to all dwarves.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Bathroom mirrors and showerheads are my bane

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

And airplane overhead storage, playground equipment, and visiting almost any Asian country.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago (5 children)

how's your back pain up there?

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It sucks when stooped over a sink washing dishes for longer than a few minutes but otherwise fine... For now.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

I'm short and this still happens to me...

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

If you stand with your legs really far apart it can help a little bit, downside is you look stupid and your legs start to hurt

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

6'4 here and i cant sleep withought back pain

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I just finished up w/ the physical therapist because my back decided it hated me.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

Pretty good. I actually don't have much. Then again, I am in my 20's so...

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

god it's so bad. Had to spend so much money on a proper office chair for my desk. it's like the one place I don't have to hunch over a lil though, so it's worth it.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago
