Today, I found out that if I were 2 inches shorter, I would have to sit in a booster seat in the car. I'm about to turn 22. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents told me that due to my lacking height and weight, I legally have to sit in a booster seat in the car from now on. I'm nineteen. FML
Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML
Today, after boarding my flight, the flight attendant looked at me and said that I had to sit elsewhere because I had to be over 14 to sit near the emergency exit. I'm 22. FML
Today, I was seated, once again, at the "too small" children's table. I'm twenty. FML
Today, I found out my lifespan has been reduced by a year just because of where I was born. FML
Today, the seat in my car broke and wouldn't move forward. I had to walk to school in the rain because I was too short to reach the pedals. FML
Today, I discovered that I'm short enough to be legally considered a midget. My daughter now wants to bring me to school for show and tell. FML
Today, despite being in high school, I'm still shorter than the average 3rd grader. FML
Today, I realized I'm too short to use the urinals at work. FML
Today, I was standing in a bus, hanging on to a pole. At a roundabout, I turned with the bus… and blocked my spine. I'm 22 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There are worse things in life than being short. At least you aren't a whiny little bitch. Oh, wait...

ydi for being dumb enough to believe it. there is an age limit on those guidelines.

yeah there are age limits... based on the average size person. There was a 16 year old which was documented, and she was still in a booster/car seat.

. . . . but you're NOT 2 inches shorter, so shut your pancake hole. This post is entirely pointless.

I'm 4'10" and I'm 27. I've never had car seat issues. Shouldn't matter as long as you can drive ok and prove it.

I know how you feel I'm 1/4 inch shorter then 5 feel and I'm 27, like #268. Forget about those age limits on booster seats.. those are based on the average person at those ages. Don't worry about those, just find a car which you can raise the seat if it makes you more comfortable. If you drive fine, then you're good to go!

Exactly. When I shop for cars I just make sure the seat rises... problem solved:) I swear, the drama some people make, about the problems they don't have.

Yeah exactly. I'm actually looking for a new car right now which the seat can rise. I'm buying in a couple weeks or so. So far, I just have a really small car which I can move the wheel low enough that I can see over it, and I can see the hood when I move the seat up. I do agree, people always make drama about problems they don't have. Sometimes when people take it too far, it pisses me off. That's why I love the new technology for raising the seat, it costs a bit more sometimes, but it's worth the little extra.

im 2 inches away from being considered a legal midget. so im just in this awkward height that leaves me with man handle fails and no disability checks

Why would his being shorter change his gender? Unless you meant his... Ooooooooooooooooooooh...
