^what a load of crap....
it is not the "short man complex" its the "I am a LoSeR" complex...
if you couldnt make a dent in this life, of course you'll be jealous...
other people's height is just an excuse to cover your own miserable life...
I am 5'9 and I eat 6'5 birds for breakfast.....
28" waist, 18" arms, lotsa money and confidence... do something with your life...be somebody....
then come and tell me if your height matters....pfff
priceless. 
Nah- nothing is made for tall people- not planes, cars, trains, buses, or any public transportation. The only things that tall people get are shelves in the kitchen. We can always reach the top shelf. Height is intimidating as well, I suppose. 
Don't forget, we get the views at general admission concerts too. It must suck to be staring at someone's armpit instead of watching the band play...
Oh do stop! You're destroying my image of you as a muscular perfect male specimen...OK- I'll give you that. But I always get there early and get a balcony seat, man. I'm too old to stand in front of a stage anymore. My knees are too bad.
5' 8", so I'm a little under US standards. Though pretty tall for my country of origin apparently. Actually, I've gotten over not being 5'10" or more, I don't know, I think once I passed year 21? And I know of shorter people who does not seem to be bothered by their height, either. Maybe the supposed "jealousy" and chips on the shoulder carried by shorter people is just a way for taller people to feel a little more superior?... Most people do mature and end up accepting who they are, you know?
And for those other shorties that do have jealousies, remember to always go fro the knees first. 6'4" quickly goes down to 5'2", then you can elbow or knee to the face to your heart' content.
It freaked me out at first, but I haven't had any major problems since that first time. We all have our crap to deal with and that's mine. It's actually been going rather well and I don't usually have too much pain most of the time.
What about people who are too tall??
I'm 6' 3", and am always getting asked "do you play rugby?" etc., etc.
Downright unfair!
Same here, people keep saying I should play basketball etc. and im like I DONT WANT TO! Then they ask why not?
Idiots.
It's funny. The one time I got into a fight, it was with this 6'6" jerk who started pushing me around, thinking that his extra foot of height made him impressive.
He was for about .5 seconds after he pushed me for the third time. Then not so much.
As a short guy, I know I'm short, but there's a remarkable number of people who think you haven't noticed and will remark without thinking, "You're short."
What do you say to this? "Holy frak, I shouldn't have put myself in the dryer this morning!"

Your sig should say:After reading this thread, it sounds like being tall makes you a pompous ass...we should do a study
