A "small" girl's voice.

Hey people, I'm pretty small in size : 153cm (about 5ft), 46kg (7.5 to 8 stones). I am working with many people that are obviously taller and bigger built than me. Recently, a few guys were back from Uni and they are like "giant". They're all 6ft or more. 2 of them always make fun of my hight and my size. They called me names like migget(i don't even know what that was). and they will put their arms on my shoulder as if i was the supporter and said " it's not even the right hight" cus they have to bent a lil bit down!!!

I was thinking if anyone here experienced this? And what should i do to teach them a lesson?

hit em where it hurts. they wont do it again.
elbow them in the balls. they won't see you coming due to your stature and you'll be the perfect height for it!

or alternatively you can say, "even if i'm short, i'm just the right height to elbow you in the nuts with great ease and without bending down."

I think you mean midget:


Definition:

1. offensive term: an offensive term for a very short person whose skeleton and features are of standard proportions


2. very small version of something: a very small version of something such as a car or boat
hehe i am glad you think so. a lot of guys find petite girls attractive as well, so don't worry :biggrin:

Thank you.:smile:
But i cant be that nasty to hit their balls! I don't want to destroy their "future":biggrin: .

Last night i pretended to try to hit one of them and he was scared cus he said i looked as if i was really going to punch him. But then he took a very small tray and said i should use that when i'm tidying the tables cus Big trays are for Big people, not me:mad:

These guys do seem to be taking the joke a bit too far, but I don't think you should be taking them so seriously. In fact you could play along with them and take the piss out of them as well. I wouldn't worry about your size, a lot of guys find shorter/petite girls attractive, I know I do!

maybe they have the minds of preschoolers. remember back in the day of sandboxes and swings when boys would make fun of and be nasty to girls all because they had a crush on them? perhaps this is the same, just years later.

Im five foot and Ive had my fair few or remarks from strangers aswel as friends and such. To be honest you learn to live with it and take it in your stride. Im pretty comfortable with my height and i just talk back to people. State things like I hadnt noticed how short i was was...thank you ....its been a revelation. Im a pretty sarcastic person so i just use my sarcasm as a way to put my feelings across. If people are really rude just bring up how you dont appreciate their comments. I know how you feel about how it feels like everyone is taller. SAying that though by BF is 6 foot 4 so i would feel that way :P hehe At the end of the day i find that I dont care about my height, its other people's hang ups and if someone cant see beyond your height they are not worth caring about

Well one of them is quite immature but another one is quite sensable actually. They both never talk to me when i was new there. But the more they know me the more they insult me.:frown:

I've got the opposite problem even though I'm not sooo :rolleyes: tall just 176ish cm almost 5'8. But I am taller than most guys I know. Not especially fun that either, I've always wished I was petite like you are. This probably won't help you much but it can give you some encouragement perhaps..:smile:

I think in terms of comments..tall and short people get the same in WOW you're rather short/tall. My bf is rather tall at 6foot 4 and he gets the whole lanky comments where i get the whole patronising aaawww you're so short..adorable..GAH!!! Why do people feel the need to comment. Its not like we havnt noticed our heights :P I find it rather funny yet anoying at the same time. Anoying in the sense that constant teasing gets pretty old pretty quicky..Its like cmon can we control out heights...nooooo so stop making a deal out of it. Ultimately though i can deal with most comments unless they are patronising. Then i just get mad and a little lady mad is noooot a good thing :tongue: hehe.
