Are you short?

[hisno1girl]

This question brought to you by the fact that I'm sitting in a booth and my feet are swinging 3 or 4 inches off the ground.

I'm 5 ft. even.

[teeah22]

5'1" checking in. Sometimes I sit on my purse in booths.

[gummybear]

I am 5 feet 2.75 inches
I say I'm 5'3" though

[jennysmitten]

Yes. 5'3"

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes. 5'2"

[kitkat1502]

Yupp...5'2"

[underwaterrhymes]

Yes. I am 4'11" and 3/4 inches.

[rosiebear]

I have no idea what is considered short for a woman. I think I'm about average - between 5'3" and 5'4". That doesn't feel particularly short, but my kids are both taller than I am at ages 15 and 16.

Edit: just googled, and average height for women in the USA is 5'4".

I'm 5'3" and sometimes find airplane seats uncomfortable because I dangle. I love when airlines have footrest options.

Nobody thinks of the comfort of shorter people in these situations. All airlines always boast of extra legroom. I don't need that. I just don't want to dangle. LOL.

5' 1.75"

That .75 is SUPER important

[mesjms]

Yep I'm 5 foot. I hate pub tables and deep couches.

My 11 y/o granddaughter has been taller than me since the spring.

Yes. 5' 1 3/4".  I hate the high top tables because my feet swing. 

[VillainV]

5'4" here. I dangle and it sucks.

Then why are pants so goddamn long?!

[circa1978]

I'm 5'4 but I have a super long torso and short legs. My legs dangle on almost any chair.

[styme46]

I am also 5 ft even!

[TR]

No.

This is my exact height too. I always dangle in booths. "Short" pants are usually long on me too

I often wear capris like regular pants.

[Chiquitita]

Depends on who you ask ... My family I'm a giant ... everyone else ... yes 5'4

LOL!

[lilypad1126]

Um, no. I have never once in my life been considered short. I'm 6'0. I think i've been this height since middle school. So, while my legs never dangle, I don't fit into airplane seats or movie theater seats or much of anything else.

This is why I get my jeans from JCPenney. I wear regular length (in the misses department, not petites and not talls), and the jeans still have stickers designating short, regular, and long length. When I was younger I wore petites, but they were too short. Now I wear misses short, and they are the perfect length. Sometimes I can swing a misses regular, but not usually.

5 foot, 2 and a half inches. They always mention the half when they measure me at the doctor's office, so it is obviously important.

[Captain Catnip]

5'1.25"- I was congratulated by the nurse at the Dr office when I grew that quarter inch in high school.

[RamblingRose]
