Today, I found out that if I were 2 inches shorter, I would have to sit in a booster seat in the car. I'm about to turn 22. FML

Today, my parents told me that due to my lacking height and weight, I legally have to sit in a booster seat in the car from now on. I'm nineteen. FML

Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML

Today, after boarding my flight, the flight attendant looked at me and said that I had to sit elsewhere because I had to be over 14 to sit near the emergency exit. I'm 22. FML

Today, the seat in my car broke and wouldn't move forward. I had to walk to school in the rain because I was too short to reach the pedals. FML

Today, I was standing in a bus, hanging on to a pole. At a roundabout, I turned with the bus… and blocked my spine. I'm 22 years-old. FML

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

There are worse things in life than being short. At least you aren't a whiny little bitch. Oh, wait...

ydi for being dumb enough to believe it. there is an age limit on those guidelines.

yeah there are age limits... based on the average size person. There was a 16 year old which was documented, and she was still in a booster/car seat.

. . . . but you're NOT 2 inches shorter, so shut your pancake hole. This post is entirely pointless.

I'm 4'10" and I'm 27. I've never had car seat issues. Shouldn't matter as long as you can drive ok and prove it.

I know how you feel I'm 1/4 inch shorter then 5 feel and I'm 27, like #268. Forget about those age limits on booster seats.. those are based on the average person at those ages. Don't worry about those, just find a car which you can raise the seat if it makes you more comfortable. If you drive fine, then you're good to go!

Exactly. When I shop for cars I just make sure the seat rises... problem solved:) I swear, the drama some people make, about the problems they don't have.

Yeah exactly. I'm actually looking for a new car right now which the seat can rise. I'm buying in a couple weeks or so. So far, I just have a really small car which I can move the wheel low enough that I can see over it, and I can see the hood when I move the seat up. I do agree, people always make drama about problems they don't have. Sometimes when people take it too far, it pisses me off. That's why I love the new technology for raising the seat, it costs a bit more sometimes, but it's worth the little extra.

Why would his being shorter change his gender? Unless you meant his... Ooooooooooooooooooooh...

Today, my date took nearly 10 minutes to get an erection, had to be shown where the entrance to my vagina was, since he kept missing it and poking me in the thigh, he orgasmed after only 3 thrusts, fell asleep straight away, then an hour later had the nerve to ask if I’d had fun too. FML

Today, some guy has been routinely parking in my designated spot outside my block of flats, so I thought I’d teach him a lesson by putting a clamp on his tyre. I later went outside, and not only had he cut the clamp off, he’d left me a note basically saying, "Better luck next time, asshole." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
