There are some things that become very obvious when you travel as much as I do. Such as:
- There are a lot of people that are NOT happy about traveling.
- People (men or women) should not fly alone with 3 small children.
- Some people think that they are fancy special because they wear a suit and carry a briefcase.
- People still don’t understand that a bluetooth headset does not require you to talk louder than if the person was sitting right next to them. (UGH, I hate this one the most!!)
- The business/travel world is no longer built for average height people.
And the last one is my newest beef! I am 5’5″ on a very stretchy day but I don’t consider myself short. In fact, I am taller than most of my girl friends. But, for some reason, I find myself on my tippy toes in almost every hotel room. Now, I know that it is more fashionable to have a taller vanity and counter in bathrooms. Trust me, I just remodeled my bathroom at home and the cabinet is much taller. However, I DON’T HAVE TO STAND ON MY TIPPY TOES TO BRUSH MY TEETH AND WASH MY FACE!!!!!!!
COME ON! Now, I know this isn’t just a “lady problem”. I work with and know many men that are shorter than me. I think I speak for everyone under 6′ when I say “QUIT MAKING US DROOL ON THE COUNTER! WE’RE NOT TALL BUT, WE’RE NOT ANIMALS, EITHER!”
This makes me think of Matt Roloff from Little People, Big World. Can you imagine how a little person must feel in the new “stylish” hotel bathrooms? In the show, Matt sells little people assistance kits to hotels. These kits are a folding (I think…maybe I should get my facts straight) stool with a handle for support. Well, Matt Roloff, I would like one of those, please.
In summary, I can only blame this new counter top design trend on the same EG-NO-RA-MOOSE that decides the length of women’s jeans. I am not 7 feet tall and I never will be!
The end
Credit for the most perfect insult of EG-NO-RA-MOOSE goes to the Cracker Barrel golf tee game.
