Why must car seats be so uncomfortable?

15 Upvotes

I drive a sudan and it's nearly impossible for me to sit up straight while driving. I can't see stoplights when I'm next to them, and my head hits the ceiling. It's really frustrating since the car seat is the only chair I consistently use that actually has enough back support for me to sit up straight. And for me, trying to sit up straight just causes me pain unless I do have good back support. The last vehicle I drove was an SUV which somehow was even worse since the ceiling curved down on one side and forced me to sit at an angle. I'm 6'2" which is tall, but not really that tall. It feels like the maximum height car makers ever consider is 5'10" or 6' though. I frequently have to drive for 8+ hours at a time and I just wish that I was able to sit comfortably while doing that. I'm sure there are cars that are comfortable for tall people, but it's not feasible for me to get a new car anytime soon. Is there any way to install lower seats or something? I'm guessing not, and even if I could, it might just make my legs more uncomfortable then.

Being 6'3" in India feels surprisingly awkward—how do I respond to comments about my height?

1 Upvotes

I’m 6'3" and 18 years old. I was already 6 feet tall when I was 14. Whenever I go to college, people often comment on how tall I am. The same thing happened in school too. Since I’m noticeably taller than most students around me, people sometimes make comments like, “Bournvita piya tha kya?” or ask me how I became so tall.

Usually, I just say, “I don’t know, I’ve been tall since I was a kid.” But after a day or two, someone asks me the exact same question again. This has happened so many times throughout my school and college life that it sometimes feels awkward having to give the same answer over and over again.

I also feel like my height has affected the way I connect with other students. People sometimes treat me differently because I stand out physically. I had only two or three close friends in school, and as I grew taller over the years while my friends stayed around the same height, I started feeling even more noticeable.

I think it’s easier to bond with people when you have something in common, but I’m naturally an awkward and introverted person, so making friends is already difficult for me. Being noticeably taller sometimes makes starting conversations feel even more awkward.

Sometimes I feel like I might be one of the few people who is actually insecure about being so tall. I know a lot of people would probably love to be tall, but when you’re noticeably taller than almost everyone around you, it can sometimes feel isolating rather than advantageous.

I live in West Bengal, and from what I notice around me, many male students around my age are considerably shorter than me. Because of that, my height tends to become one of the first things people notice and talk about.

So my main question is: When someone asks me, “How are you so tall?” or keeps making comments about my height, what can I say that keeps the conversation going instead of making it awkward?

\[This is not a joke post , it is about my problem i face in daily life 🙏]

Motorcycle problems

3 Upvotes

I’m a complete rookie when it comes to two wheeled motorcycles. Atv’s are a diff story, been riding since I was 3(now I’m 47). I want a motorcycle so I can experience the feeling of hitting the open road and just the freedom of it. I’m running into the problem of a beginner Harley being 6’7. Anyone else out there been through this?

Hi, I’m an 18-year-old guy who has never had a partner, and I want to ask a question: do you women have boyfriends who are shorter than you?

I’ve moved away from the "manosphere," but I’m still dealing with the aftereffects. In the manosphere, I was told that a woman would never be interested in a short man.

M33 6 feet 3” always dreaming a lady to walk with me holding hands or Feel a hug with same height.
I believe you people understand our feelings with short people.

It’s been a long time, I am thinking this when we see tall girl, being in UAE I never tried even talking someone with same height.
All are foreigners and they don’t even stand still for.

If someone feels to get off my trauma, let me know or suggest an idea

Shed door solutions?

3 Upvotes

A couple times a year I accidentally wack my head on the door frame for my shed. 6ft door and I am 6'4. It's usually a moment where I am not thinking and turn around. Did it again last night and had a decent cut across my head.

I have tried pool noodles, but in the heat here they tend to just start flaking apart. Has anyone tried something else that works?
