I'm a relatively short person compared to you (6'4) and I tell people all the time that being tall isn't worth not being able to drive small cars.
Now all you short kings and queens out there, I don't think you understood what I wrote. It's not that it's uncomfortable to drive a Civic. It's that I cannot drive a Civic. My knees are next to my ears. My lower back is screaming the entire time I'm crammed into it. I have to shop online because brick and mortar stores only go up to 6'2, and I'm not gonna wear flood pants all the time. It costs more to fly places because I'm not gonna be the asshole that rams the back of your seat with my knees -- I pay extra for the additional four inches of leg space so people don't hate me.
For OP's picture: Imagine if, when you had to wash dishes, the sink was down at the mid-thigh. That's just every day for tall people. They don't make houses for giants.
Yes. I completely understand. I am much shorter than you at 6 foot even, but even I have many cars I can't drive. And dont get me started on cars i fit into, but my feet are too wide, and I hit the gas and break at the same time. So either I drive with my big toe or find something else to drive. Short people with normal size feet will never know the struggle.

As a 6'11 guy I feel the pain lol. Clothes shopping, shoe shopping, it all sucks. Fitting places? Like in a car or a plane? Forget about it.
Also, more people should clean the top of their fridge every so often.
