I am 5 ft 1 and everyone uses me as an arm rest...what makes that ok??? I mean then I don't have an arm rest and I have to carry my weight and theirs! Yesh!!

Note to tall people- don't use short people as an arm rest

Literally they lean on you?  I'm 5 3 1/2.  If anyone did that to me, I'd kick em in the knee.  Ha Ha... Jayne

Yep. They put their elbow on my shoulder- I guess I am just the perfect height. Of couse it is always people I know, trying to act like a buddy- i then lean forward an make a joke about that they have feet etc...But it keeps happening! Yes, I would like to have something to lean on..I get that...but don't use me 'cuz i ain't got nothin' to use

I have had the same problem and I am 5'2".  I hate it, luckily it hasn't happened lately.

My whole life story!!!  I like to let them and when they think they are all safe squat, sit or something to make them off balance

Glad i am not the only one. I would grow out of it (by age, not weight ) but nope, still happens.

Sweetie!  Lotsaleg!   I never would've guessed you were vertically-challenged from looking at your picture!  I guess  you hear all the short jokes, eh?  And Darla must get all the tall jokes. I guess it shows you to never judge a person by the height of their picture!  (Sorry!   It's been a loooong  day with an exam I did poorly on...) Do people REALLy use you as an armrest? That must be pretty aggravating. (((HUG))) to you and others who are short.     (I'm medium--5'6") **SUE**

The only time I ever really hated being short was in high school walking up stairs, put my face at the level of the butt of the person in front of me.





I got them all Shrimp, shorty, short stuff, and the best... Shory mc-short, short. All in good fun though, didn't bother me.
