THE PAIN WE IMPOSE ON GIANTS AMONG US By Bill Hall, Lewiston, Idaho, Tribune, February 23, 1990 This giant woman I know says you can tell how many short people there are on any residential block by strolling down the sidewalk. If you're as tall as she is and you keep getting whipped in the face by branches, you know there are a lot of short people on that block. Maybe some people enjoy getting whipped in the face but my large friend isn't one of them. She thinks short people are rude. But she's wrong. Rude is deliberate. These people normal people my size aren't rude. But I guess we are thoughtless. And vain. It's vain to trim the trees on your street up to where they're above the heads of people your size but no higher. You never stop to think that other people are taller than you are. You only notice such things if you're tall and always getting whipped in the face. A giant man I work with tells me the low-limb problem is so prevalent that he normally walks in the street rather than on the sidewalk while strolling through a residential neighborhood with his short wife. And all these years I just thought he was being a gentleman and walking on the street side, the way young men were once taught before women got cranky and developed an interest in becoming actual people. I always thought chivalrous gentlemen had been taught throughout history to walk next to the street so big trucks would splatter muddy water on them and not on their ladies' finery. But I guess that's historically inaccurate. I have since read that it goes back to a time before sewers when second floors used to overhang the street in some towns and people were always tossing unpleasant substances out the window. The woman was given the shielded position beneath the overhang. But women were a lot more delicate then. Today, older men still walk on the outside but it is so we can keep a modern woman between us and the muggers in the alleys. And if the woman is on the inside, the limbs on trees in the yards of short people are more likely to whip her in the face. In fact, if you are an average height, you can tell who the really short people are. The limbs they can't reach will whip practically everybody in the face. That's why people tend to walk way out in the street when they pass the home of a short person. It isn't because they hate short people though they may learn to if short people don't start doing a better job on their tree limbs. But the fact most tree limbs are too short for our taller friends thanks to our thoughtlessness proves once again how little normal people know of the heartbreaking world of people over 5-foot-10. I knew they had trouble with beds. You place a 6-foot-6-inch person in a 6-foot bed year after year and pretty soon you have a person whose feet lean backward. That must hurt. But I never dreamed they were getting it at the other end as well. However, I should have guessed because so many of my giant friends act like people who get hit in the head a lot. On the other hand, in fairness to people the correct height, I have encountered the reverse situation in my life. We had a giant carpenter install a pot rack on the ceiling of our kitchen. We came home and found he had installed it so high that I could barely reach the pots and my wife couldn't reach them at all. I asked him why he had installed it so high. He said he had first installed it the way I asked but the pots kept hitting him in the head so he moved it up. I told him I didn't want him cooking in our kitchen anyway and made him lower it. So it isn't all a one-way street, my friends. Oh, no. The fact is, giants have been hurting short people for years. You'll find reports on it in most of the fairy tales. |
