Today, I found out that I have a highly irrational fear of little people. I made this self discovery when my mother introduced the family to her new fiancé. FML

Truly tolerant people are in short supply these days, it seems it is too tall an order to be able to see short people as equals in society these days. I think it is below the belt to mock dwarves for their vertical shortcomings, and looking down on them is why we can't all see eye to eye here, and why they have such a short-fuse. As a smaller person, I feel like I drew the short straw in my gene pool.

That must've been very embarrassing and rude at the same time.

I'll bet family life will be fun for you OP. One mustached Halloween costume and you'll be in full on panic mode.

'Highly irrational'? So it isn't just a 'little' fear is it?

Just wait until he tries to boss you around, and you already afraid of him. "Clean up your damn room". Little step dad = 1 OP = 0.

I'm imagining him standing about waist-high on her, and her face has become frozen in a permanent ****** expression. Sounds like the next great wedding-cake topper.

Look on the bright side, you'll have his axe.

I don't understand why anyone would be scared of dwarves.. more commonly known as "little people" of course. They're still people; they were just born with it :/ Sorry to be all anti-joke chicken or whatever, lol.

That's why OP pointed out that her fear is highly irrational. Sorry about that, OP. It can't be easy for you.

Same reason people have a fear of butterflies or certain textures; they have no control over it!

People are scared of what is different. In any case, OP already said it was an irrational fear so they don't have a reason, they just are.

I too go into a panic when I see male ones,but female little people don't bother me. I think it has something to do with leprechauns.

She has to be very careful during oral sex, or she might blow his Bonaparte.

You do know that Napoleon was slightly above average in height right?

#36, not by today's standards. And that's all that really counts, right?
