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...

So I don't get the FML. . .Today you found out that something embarrassing didn't happen? Man I should start posting FMLs. . Today, I found out I wasn't fired from my job, FML!

No, a 4'11" girl isn't attractive to YOU, has nothing to do with YOUR height - Plenty of taller guys like shorty women. Height matters to some extent in terms of finding yourself a mate, however, because everyone is attracted to different things it becomes a moot point. . .

Egnar - Did you miss where he said "for a 6"2 bloke like me"? You guys are agreeing yet you're bitching and antagonizing him. What gives? He is generalizing; many tall men I've talked to dislike women shorter than 5 foot 2 simply for the inconvenience it causes (i.e. struggles kissing, etc). That doesn't make him wrong. There are exceptions to every rule.

Did you miss the part where I acknowledged that he may not find the girl to be the greatest due to height but that height has nothing to do with it because just like you may know many tall guys who don't like short girls I know very many that do. . . It's like saying you know a dozen guys with blue eyes that don't find hispanic girls attractive so theirfore blue eyed guys in general don't like hispanic girls.

"Like me" implies exactly that - men like him. He wasn't blanketing.

Don't feel bad, I'm 25 and should technically be sitting in a booster seat. I just move the seat up on my car!
