But then I lol'd.

I hate it when you get a pack of candy and there is only one piece of your favourite flavor.

I hate people who are articulate, and intelligent deliberately acting stupid and using profanity excessively when they possess a vocabulary to hold a decent non-vulgar conversation.

Incompetence & people that belittle themselves.

Harboring and/or expressing feelings of hate is paradoxical and results in the stagnation of the human race.

We are all products of one, same consciousness that is experienced subjectively by different individuals.
Thus, by hating another we hate ourselves.

Really, you're only 5'6"?

I hate when I'm out in public some where and I see a parent smoking right next to their child.

I hate it a lot.

I have a cousin who is pretty short, and she was complaining about it one day, and I told her that sometimes, being a little taller (I'm not very tall; just around 6', give or take an inch) isn't all it's cracked up to be.

For instance:

-I have to duck a little when going up or down the stairs in my house (there's a spot a couple steps up, where the ceiling of the lower level transitions into a wall of the upper level, that's just *this much* too low; I have to be especially careful if I'm carrying one of my kids up or down...lol).
-I have to adjust the shower head up every time I get in the shower.
-Speaking of bathroom fixtures, "regular" height toilets are just too short; I need the "chair" height.
-Sufficient legroom in most cars is hard to come by (or headroom; I've been in several cars where my head brushed the ceiling).
-I can't really stretch out laying on the average couch (or bed, for that matter; counting the pillow width, if I stretched out fully my feet would hang off).
-Some wall mirrors that are hung at "eye level" are actually too low for me to see the top of my head.
-With height usually comes larger feet. Size 13-14 extra wides are not exactly well stocked or of wide variety at most shoe stores.
-Family/group photos are a pain in the ass. If I don't want to get cut off, I have to stoop.
-There are some roller coasters that I don't even fit in (and I love roller coasters!)
-Basically, the world in general is simply designed for an average height that is a few inches shorter than I am, so virtually everything is just a few inches too short (counter heights, vehicles, drinking fountains, ceiling fan pull chains/lights, etc.)

And again, I'm not even that tall! I can't imagine what it would be like for anyone well above the 6' line.

Heh, it's funny. I started out thinking this post was off-topic, but I suppose I just made a very on-topic list! lol

Interestingly I bought a couch with a seating length of just a bit over 6', specifically for taller guests.

I hate it even more than you since as a little kid I had to use this little breathing machine thing that blew like, medicine into my lungs to clear the phlegm or whatever was giving me trouble breathing. I would have a whooping cough and issues breathing and we didn't know what was causing it until one day we noticed I went an entire year without needing the machine. Sure enough it was because my Dad had stopped smoking that year. This was back when a lot people still weren't informed about "2nd hand smoke" - we were still under the impression that smoke only affected the person smoking the cigarette, not everyone around them.

Nowadays however, 2nd hand smoke has been talked about so much that ignorance is no longer an excuse. If you're still smoking around other people who don't smoke you're just being a lazy prick at that point. It doesn't take too much effort to go sit outside on your porch whenever you want to light up a cancer stick.
