Being tall sounds great, until life turns into a nonstop game of “Mind Your Head.” These photos prove that the view from up there isn’t always worth the neck strain. Ceilings? Mortal enemies. Airplane seats? Torture devices. Group photos? Forget it, they always put you in the back.
Being tall means your hoodie becomes public property, strangers ask if you play basketball, (you don’t), and ceiling fans turn into death traps. Sure, you can reach the top shelf, but you’ll also smack your head on it. These pictures capture the heroic struggle of the vertically gifted trying to live in a world clearly designed by hobbits.
So here’s to the tall ones reminding us that sometimes standing head and shoulders above the rest just means you’ve got farther to fall. How's the air up there?
