The true way is not to reach things for others, but to lift others so they themselves can reach.
- That's waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.
- I, too, have a small child

"Why yes, I'd be happy to. I'm a professional tall person."
- Hands out Card
  I can also give you for 5$ a Month a daily update about the weather up here or I can place things on top of cupboards so your enemies can't reach them.

As a short person I cannot hesitate. I may neither ask, nor wait to be bidden. When an artifact is loosed from the grip of another, I retrieve it with grace and expediency. The knees and the backs of the giants and ancients are precious things that must be preserved. This is the law of the little.
- And yet my friend, you bow to no one.

When I bought my house it had been abandoned for years, so I had to remodel the whole thing. When I built the counters and cabinets I accidentally built everything based on my height, so everything in the house is a good 3-4 inches higher than most houses. Everything looks fine and works fine for me, but I have to get a lot of things down for the wife, and we have to have a couple different steps stools around.
- Well, I was lucky enough to make sure my partner is only about 10 cm shorter than me. But still when I renovated the house, it ended up the way that they cannot reach everything...
- Very nice. I have relatives with a house like that and it makes everything easier. I visited a friend last year with vessel sinks: the counter top is standard height but the sinks sit on top: So nice. Meanwhile sometimes my back doesn’t like how much I have to bend to wash my hands in my own bathroom

I'm of average height, so when I saw a short old lady not able to reach the pepsi at the top of the cooler, I was very happy to get to help. I don't get that opportunity too often

As a short person who often can't reach stuff on the top shelves at work, please offer. I can't ask because I'm working, but I genuinely appreciate everyone who offers to help.

I do ask on planes as regards the overhead bins because it's pretty obvious that it's gonna be near impossible for some people and I want to save them the embarrassment, suffering, and possibly injury to themselves and those around them.

I appreciate the giants. I'm very short and need help reaching things regularly. If I was one inch shorter, I'd be considered a little person legally. At least here in the US. I'm 4'11 🥲
- You get the stuff that's too low, we'll get the stuff that's too high. From each to each

I'm no even that tall but I must seem more "approachable" I guess? I get often asked by older woman to grab something for them.
- I was once returning from a skiin holiday in Italy. We stopped in a supermarket in Südtirol and an old lady asked me to get her something from the top shelf. Thankfully I speak german so I understood her hut that could have been awkvard.
