Here’s some of mine:
- Camping tables are generally shorter than typical desks, and helped ease some posture issues I had sitting at a desk that was too high for me. (Even adjustable desks still were too high for me at their lowest setting.)
- When a place I lived in had a washer that was too tall for me to reach the bottom in (from the top), I found I could use kitchen tongs to get things like socks out of the bottom.
I’m in politics. I won’t say who I am but you’ve probably heard of me.
Lately I’ve been wearing heel lifts inside some cowboy boots whenever I make a public appearance. I don’t think anyone has noticed.
Napoleon Bonaparte?
Yes! What gave it away, was it the cowboy boots?
I need to stop doing this, but I’ll just tip a tall glass off the shelf and catch it on the way down.
Thanks for the tip about camping tables! I’ll be looking into that when it comes time to get a new desk
I dramatically strain for something that’s too high up for me to reach it. Pretend to try and weild the force to pull it towards me. And then wait until my very tall partner just comes along to grab it.
Don’t forget the “nyeeeeeehhhhhhh” noise that accompanies the dramatised physical effort
For people in need of a desk or table…
I’m an amateur woodworker and I could use the practice transitioning to furniture making. If you don’t mind covering materials and shipping (from New York to you), feel free to message me and we can work something out. I’m not looking to make a killing here, but getting some practice while helping somebody out would be nice.
I’m not sure how to DM people on my Lemmy client Thunder but I might be interested depending on the deets! I’m located in Florida.
Hmm. I don’t know either. Maybe I need an account on your instance? I’m posting from kbin anyway so heck if I know.
I’ve never had problems for being short. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention but there’s nothing a stool or a chair can’t fix. Also, climbing on furniture is easy but rare. 🤷♂️

You can put small things like socks and undergarments in those mesh laundry bags so they are easier to get out of the washing machine.
-
You can buy phone cases that have mirrors on them which can be helpful if you find yourself in need of a mirror but the one in the restroom where you are is too high.

You can drop an egg on its side on a flat surface to get a perfect break.
Tell your kids the boogie man and witches are afraid of books and reading, so if we read, they won’t come 😁.
