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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

They also have age restrictions on booster seats. So once you hit age 9 I believe then you no longer need to use a seat despite being short.

According to my calculations, if you add the length of my penis to your height, you'll be about 9 feet tall. *Waits for hate comments*

#82, look up booster seat and car seat laws. It'll do you some good. NM saw that this was from MA. ...what the hell.. that was not the comment I posted to
sterlingarcher 1
98 wtf???
Jemibub 4
When I commented, #82 was a totally different comment that I can't find anymore. Hence the confusion at the end of my reply.

try being tall... it's a pain in the ass to find jeans... I'm 5'8" and all legs... be happy you can buy cheap jeans
lissa922 6
Not really I am short and have a very hard time finding good jeans that aren't too long for me and the brands that have them usually sell out of the smaller sizes like 0's which is really annoying!
awardZu 0
Are you really complaining about being 5'8"? I'm 6'3", have to shop at big & tall stores to find pants that fit in the legs & waist. 5'8" isn't tall, it's average. Get over yourself.
nerdchic 5
5'8" is tall for a girl thank you very much.. I'm not a guy - men are suppose to be taller.. girl jeans are a bitch to find.. you get over yourself
nerdchic 5
and if I were "average" then I would buy regular sizes not damn talls
sassypants93 17
Yeah I'm 5'10. Average is 5'6. I feel your pain. I can't imagine being 6'3. That must suck.
sassypants93 17
Oh wait. If you're a guy, then that's not too bad. It's harder for girls. I know. My brother is 6'4 and really thin. It can be a little hard, but it's still easy to find jeans for. Almost nowhere carries tall girls jeans though.
chippa 24
No, 5'8 is -not- tall for a girl. It's on the tall -side.- Learn the difference. And buying jeans in tall sizes? Yeah, no, don't complain. It's just as hard for you to find the perfect jean size as it is for a girl of any other non-abnormal height. Try getting only two pairs of jeans a year because they're so incredibly expensive, having to drive over an hour to get tothe one store in the world that sells jeans that come long enough, and even then, not having any choice in the matter of -which- jeans you buy. When a store made specifically made for tall people is almost too short for you, that's when you know to start praying you won't grow another inch.
